Sarm?

[JBerto]

Hi Bill, I am very interested in knowing your opinion on the SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulator). Do you believe in the future can replace the steroids?

There seems to be favourable studies on SARM:

Could it be the FUTURE?

I think there is a lot of potential in this area.. Like anything, I would like to see these research compounds developed into drugs with a good deal of clinical human data to examine. And then see some real world results with trained bodybuilders and athletes. But there is a lot of promise here in any event..

I don't think anything will truly replace steroids 100% though.. You never know though..

Thanks for the links BTW..

A recent study says that the prohormone 19-norandrostenedione displays selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) like properties after subcutaneous administration:

Yeah, I think this is a nicer way of saying this is an anabolic compound without labeling it as an anabolic steroid, which it should more appropriately be classified as.
