MK2866 (Ostarine) CAS: 841205-47-8 1000MG / 1 GRAM
As a SARM, Ostarine binds directly to the androgen receptors. While anabolic steroids also bind to androgen receptors, SARM's cannot convert to DHT or estrogen. Officially belonging to a group of drugs, Ligand, MK 2866's only purpose is direct anabolic activity. This SARM can be used for muscle growth or muscle preservation (diet dependent).
Ostarine, like anabolic steroids, will increase protein synthesis as well as nitrogen retention. However, unlike anabolic steroids, it will do so without any DHTor estrogen conversion.
While no direct estrogen conversion is present in terms of aromatase activity, mild increases in estrogen levels have been shown. This is perhaps why Ostarine has been shown to be good for joint health and healing. Estrogen often gets a bad wrap, but some is needed for good health and physical performance. It is,however, the direct binding to the receptor that is most important as it not only promotes anabolism, it alters the gene sequence directly at the receptor site; in fact, it is highly tissue specific, muscle and bone.
Dosage
Recommended max dosage of Ostarine is around 25mg once a day for men, and 12.5mg for females. It has a 24 hour half-life.
Lowest recommended aesthetic dose (meaning for physique improvement) for males is 12.5mg. Lower doses will likely produce very little results to be notice in terms or muscle gains, but will help with join health.
Women's lowest recommended dose, for those seeking physique improvement, is 5mg a day, and it should be noted that therapeutic doses of as low as 3mg a day have been reported to be beneficial in both genders.
Benefits in bone and tendons have been reported at dosages as low as 12.5 mg per day.
For Cutting
While preserving muscle gains and decreasing calories, MK-2866 can help cut it off. Suggested dosing is 12.5-15mg for 4-6 weeks.
For Bulking
Shines best when used for gaining lean muscle (bulking) as it is the most anabolic of all the SARMS. Suggested dosage is 25 mg for 4-6 weeks. PCT is not necessary. An increase of 6 lbs. of lean, keepable gains can be observed during this period.
You can take Ostarine as high as 36 mg for 8 weeks BUT only if you weigh 210 lbs. Suppression is expected in higher doses so PCT after a cycle is a must.
For Recomping
Ostarine shines in recomping due to its nutrient portioning results. Calorie is used to build muscle which helps in weight loss and enhancing muscle mass and strength. Suggested dosing is 12.5-25 mg for 4-8 weeks.
Your diet must contain 30% of lean sources of protein to achieve the best recomp result
