Compound Profiles

LGD-4033

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator | Lean Mass

LGD-4033 binds to the androgen receptor with high affinity (Ki of approximately 1 nM), functioning as a potent and selective agonist in muscle and bone tissue. Like other SARMs, its tissue selectivity is mediated by differential cofactor recruitment: upon binding to the AR, LGD-4033 induces a receptor conformation that preferentially recruits coactivators expressed in skeletal muscle and bone, while showing minimal agonist activity in androgen-sensitive tissues such as the prostate and skin.

RAD-140

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator | Investigational SARM

RAD-140 binds to the androgen receptor (AR) with high affinity and selectivity, functioning as a full agonist in muscle and bone tissue while exhibiting minimal agonist activity in the prostate and other androgen-sensitive tissues. This tissue selectivity is achieved through differential cofactor recruitment: upon binding to the AR, RAD-140 induces a conformational change that favors interaction with coactivators predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and bone, rather than those prevalent in prostate or sebaceous glands.

Shared Safety Flags

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take LGD-4033 with RAD-140?

Yes, but with caution. Stacking LGD-4033 with RAD-140 compounds the suppression of the HPG axis and increases the risk of liver enzyme elevation and lipid disruption. While some users combine these two SARMs, the additive suppression makes post-cycle recovery significantly more difficult without proportional additional benefit. If this combination is used, a testosterone base and comprehensive blood work monitoring are strongly advised. Most experienced users recommend choosing one SARM per cycle rather than stacking. Regular monitoring is advised.

Is LGD-4033 and RAD-140 safe together?

Based on documented research, this combination is considered monitor. However, shared safety flags include: androgenic, blood pressure raising, carcinogenic risk, hepatotoxic, hpta suppressive, lipid disrupting. Monitor accordingly.

What are the interactions between LGD-4033 and RAD-140?

Stacking LGD-4033 with RAD-140 compounds the suppression of the HPG axis and increases the risk of liver enzyme elevation and lipid disruption. While some users combine these two SARMs, the additive suppression makes post-cycle recovery significantly more difficult without proportional additional benefit. If this combination is used, a testosterone base and comprehensive blood work monitoring are strongly advised. Most experienced users recommend choosing one SARM per cycle rather than stacking. This assessment has 90% confidence and is based on documented research data.

How should I time LGD-4033 and RAD-140?

LGD-4033 has a half-life of ~24-36 hours and RAD-140 has a half-life of ~60 hours. No specific timing requirements identified for this combination, but separating administration can help monitor individual effects.

Dosing Protocols

MENT is most commonly available as trestolone acetate for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The acetate ester has an extremely short half-life of approximately 40 minutes, which means blood levels rise and fall rapidly. Daily injection is the absolute minimum frequency, and many users prefer twice-daily injections (morning and evening) to maintain more stable blood levels and reduce peak-related side effects. Longer-acting esters (trestolone decanoate, trestolone enanthate) have been discussed in research contexts but are not widely available. Subdermal implant formulations have been studied in clinical trials and could eventually provide sustained multi-month delivery. TRT Replacement - Low Dose 5-10 mg/day Daily (or split into 2 injections per day) Intramuscular or subcutaneous Moderate Anabolic Protocol 10-15 mg/day Split into 2 injections per day Higher Dose - Advanced 15-25 mg/day

Side effects

Common Side Effects

Headache (most common side effect, typically caused by insufficient choline intake -- co-supplementation with Alpha-GPC or CDP-Choline usually resolves this) Irritability and restlessness, particularly at doses exceeding 30 mg/day Insomnia if taken too late in the day Mild gastrointestinal discomfort when taken on an empty stomach
