Testolone (RAD140) is the newest compound in the family of selective androgen receptor modulators, or as they are better known – SARM]. Therefore, its major advantage over anabolic steroids is that it offers similar positive results, with barely any side effects at all. Indeed, this is quite a unique compound, even when it is compared to other SARMS, and in this article we shall review the most interesting aspects of RAD140.
In the studies involving RAD140, also known as Testolone, testing was carried out mostly on mice and monkeys. However, the results of these studies have shown to be very promising. For instance, it was proven that RAD140 has the unique property of countering the prostate-enlargement caused by testosterone use, which makes it a perfect stacking agent for that can cause this undesired effect. Furthermore, when Testolone was given to monkeys, there was a drastic increase in lean bodyweight during the administration period. This increase in lean mass was dosage dependent, so with bigger dosages there was a more pronounced increase in lean mass and loss of fat tissues. Hence, testolone is a true SARM with all the properties that are expected from compounds of this kind – safety and effectiveness.
Testosterone[/URL] is considered as the perfect comparison template in terms of androgenic and anabolic effects of different compounds, where a ratio of 100:100 is the baseline. In this regard, RAD140 has an impressive ratio of 90:1. This means that it is almost as anabolic as testosterone is, but it lacks the androgenic effects, which is a very positive thing, since most of the side effects associated to steroid use come from their androgenic effects.In addition to that, it has been determined that you would need 40% more of testosterone for the same muscle growth as with RAD140, and yet it would take 60 times more of RAD140 to even start showing any prostate related side effects.Regarding the affinity to androgen receptors, studies have shown that it has approximately 30% of the affinity seen with testosterone, and almost the same affinity as dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Few people know this: testosterone and DHT have a natural ability to preserve neurons and have beneficial effects on overall neural health. Therefore, it is not surprising that most neurodegenerative conditions, such as the Alzheimer's disease, take place in those with androgenic deficiencies. However, using considerable dosages of testosterone may pose other health threats on the long run, as it will cause certain side effects. In the meantime, it has been scientifically proven that RAD140 exerts the same effects in the brain, making it an extremely useful compound for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, RAD140 will drastically reduce cell death after suffering a stroke. Although these neuroprotective properties don't carry an immediate benefit for bodybuilding purposes, they are a very welcome trait.
The recommended dosages of RAD140 vary from 20 to 30 milligrams (mgs) per day, and the optimal cycle duration is 12-14 weeks. As a research chemical, RAD140 should come in liquid form to be taken orally. It is important to drop the liquid directly into the mouth, as it may stick to the walls of the glass if mixed with liquids. After dropping it into the mouth, you can chase it down with water or grape juice. Due to the relatively long half life, RAD140 can be dosed just once per day, and there is no need to be taking it several times per day.

I guess this could get moved to the SARMS forum, My bad.
