What is LGD-3303?
LGD-3303 is a relatively new SARM which has earned a reputation for its ability to assist with sheer mass and strength gains. The drug works by binding to the androgen receptor with high selectivity, which causes it to convert anabolic effects in muscle and bone, equating to gains in muscle size and strength.
What are SARMs?
SARMS, or selective androgen receptor modulators, are unapproved performance enhancing supplements whose main purpose is to bind to cellular androgen receptors. In theory, this would give SARMs the same beneficial effects as anabolic steroids, but in a selective manner, which means fewer serious side effects.
The FDA has released an advisory warning against the consumption of SARMs, including LGD-3303 [1], as they have been discovered to contain illegal, adulterated medications.
“We are extremely concerned about unscrupulous companies marketing body-building products with potentially dangerous ingredients,” said Donald D. Ashley, director of the Office of Compliance in FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, in a press release.
Reports and Statistics
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) analyzed 44 drugs marketed as SARMs using procedures approved by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for detecting banned substances in athletes [3].
The study found:
- 39% of the supplements contained unapproved drugs, like banned growth hormones or steroids.
- 25% contained similar substances not even included on the label.
- 59% of the products had significantly different amounts of compounds than what was listed on the label.
SARM vs. SERM
The acronyms used to abbreviate their names may be similar, but the difference between SARMs and SERMs is actually quite profound. SARMs are selective androgen receptor modulators, anabolics with muscle building properties like steroids.
SERMs are selective estrogen receptor modulators that prevent estrogen from binding to certain tissues, and can be effective at raising natural testosterone levels.
