LGD4033, which is also known as anabolicum or LGD, is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARMS). In spite of the fact that it is still in clinical testing and has been found to be effective for medical conditions (especially muscle wasting and osteoporosis), in recent years bodybuilders have found ways to utilize anabolicum to their advantage, leading to the growth of its popularity in fitness and endurance related sports.
History
LGD4033 was discovered by Ligand Pharma, and it is still under development by Viking Therapeutics, who have re-named it VK5211. In studies, this compound has been shown to help with muscle wasting diseases like cancer and sarcopenia (age related loss in mass).
Originally, anabolicum was intended to be used one day in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), as it has less side effects than testosterone and other hormones, but has many of the same anabolic benefits.
How it works
Just like the other SARMS, LGD works by selectively binding to the androgen receptors of muscles and bone. In fact, Anabolicum is considered to be one of the strongest and most anabolic SARMS. What's more, out of the widely available SARMS it is probably the most powerful milligram for milligram.
Since LGD works so selectively, it will give the user anabolic activity in the body without harming the prostate or causing unwanted androgenic side effects. This makes it ideal for females as well.
Additionally, studies have shown that it was totally safe for humans when used at dosages under 20 milligrams (mgs) per day.
Furthermore, in other studies anabolicum enhanced lean muscle mass, while decreasing body fat, increasing strength, and improving wellness in the user. Thus, it is not surprising that its use is so widespread in the athletic world.
LGD vs. Steroids
The beautiful part of using LGD is that you can get many of the benefits of anabolic steroids without the harsh side effects associated to them. Steroid side effects include estrogen increases, which have a domino effect of problems like high blood pressure, water retention, and even gynecomastia (bitch tits). Moreover, steroids can also cause androgenic side effects like lipid strain and aggression. And finally, since anabolicum is not methylated, it will not harm the liver at all. This is not the case with oral steroids, which are usually liver toxic.
Crossfit and Athletes
This SARM is especially popular in crossfit type of activities, as it will not hurt endurance or cause massive leg pumps and lethargy like most anabolic steroids. Instead, it will increase strength and lean muscle mass, while keeping side effects minimal.
