SARMs

Meaning

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are a class of therapeutic compounds designed to exhibit the beneficial anabolic effects of endogenous androgens on muscle and bone tissue with significantly reduced undesirable androgenic effects on other tissues, such as the prostate and skin. These non-steroidal agents are being investigated for treating conditions like muscle wasting and osteoporosis, aiming for a more favorable therapeutic index than traditional anabolic steroids. Clinical use outside of approved research is highly cautioned due to limited long-term safety data.
