Frequently Asked Questions
What is MK-2866?
MK-2866, also known as Ostarine, is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) initially developed for the prevention of muscle wasting diseases. Ostarine is primarily used as a performance enhancing drug for muscle building, as its main benefit is helping with lean muscle gains.
What’s in Ostarine MK-2866?
According to the FDA Warning Letter, Ostarine MK2866 contains ((2S)-3-(4-cyanophenoxy)-N-{4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropamide (Ostarine).
What are SARMs?
Unlike traditional anabolic steroids, SARMs work specifically on muscle tissue. In theory, SARMS mimic the effects of testosterone in the body; however, they are directly targeted at skeletal muscle. Given that they are relatively new, and may be adulterated with unregulated substances, their safety remains questionable.
Can I receive compensation for health issues caused by Ostarine?
Yes, if you can prove that Ostarine caused your health issues, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
What evidence do I need to support my Ostarine lawsuit claim?
