Genetixx Laboratories Test140 RAD140

RAD-140, commonly known as Testolone, is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that has been widely studied for its potential effects on muscle tissue and cognitive function. Researchers have explored its ability to selectively bind to androgen receptors, aiming to mimic some of the anabolic effects of traditional compounds without the same level of androgenic activity.

Key Areas of Scientific Interest:

• Muscle Growth: Investigated for its potential to enhance lean muscle mass development.

• Neuroprotective Properties: Studies suggest potential benefits in brain cell protection and cognitive support.

• Androgen Receptor Selectivity: Designed to target muscle and bone tissues while minimizing effects on other organs.

• Selective Action: Targets androgen receptors primarily in muscle and bone, offering anabolic benefits without the widespread effects of traditional steroids.
• High Potency: Exhibits strong binding affinity to androgen receptors, leading to significant anabolic activity.
• Non-Aromatizing: Doesn’t convert to estrogen (via aromatase) or DHT (via 5α-reductase), reducing risks of estrogenic side effects like gynecomastia or prostate issues.
• Anabolic Effects: Promotes muscle growth and strength gains, potentially treating muscle wasting (sarcopenia).
• Neuroprotective Potential: Shows promise in protecting neurons, relevant for neurodegenerative diseases.
• Tissue Selectivity: Acts as an agonist (activator) in muscle/bone but an antagonist (blocker) in certain tissues like breast tissue, potentially inhibiting cancer cell growth. 

• RAD140 (also known as Testolone or 2-chloro-4-[[(1R,2S)-1-[5-(4-cyanophenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-2-hydroxypropyl]amino]-3-methylbenzonitrile) 

• Not FDA Approved: RAD140 has only been tested in preclinical and early-stage clinical trials for conditions like muscle wasting and osteoporosis. It has not completed the clinical trial process needed for approval, so its safety profile in humans is not well-established.
• Health Risks: Reported side effects from self-administration include potential liver toxicity (including liver failure), hormonal suppression, and heart attack. Long-term safety data is nonexistent.
• Illegal in Supplements: The compound is not legally permitted in dietary supplements in the US. Products sold online often exist in a legal gray area, labeled “for research purposes only.”
• Banned by Sports Authorities: RAD140 is a banned substance for all athletes and is included in the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.
