What it is
Andarine (S4) is one of the older SARMs. It is an investigational research compound, not an approved medicine, sold for research only.
Status: investigational, sold for research only
Researched for lean tissue and bone
Oral, so there is no injection
How it works
A SARM that binds androgen receptors with a short duration of action.
Signals muscle and bone tissue
Short half-life, so research often splits the daily amount
Can suppress natural hormones
Dosing and mixing
Reference tiers only. Track the dose you are already taking.
Low
About 25 mg per day
FOR The most conservative researched amount
BENEFIT Often picked as the lower-exposure receptor-signaling tier
Standard
About 25 to 50 mg per day
FOR The commonly cited research range
BENEFIT The range most often cited in research discussions
High
About 50 mg per day
FOR Upper end seen in some research
BENEFIT A higher-exposure tier, with more vision side effects reported
Schedule: Often split into smaller amounts through the day because the half-life is short. Research discusses several weeks, then time off.
