GlossarySelective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs)

compounds that selectively target androgen receptors to promote muscle growth

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are a class of compounds that bind to androgen receptors in the body, similar to anabolic steroids, but with more targeted effects. They are designed to selectively stimulate muscle and bone growth without significantly affecting other tissues, potentially offering therapeutic benefits for conditions like muscle wasting and osteoporosis with fewer side effects compared to traditional steroids.

community Dht test results after 1year oral dut

in Treatment 12 upvotes 1 year ago

The user is experiencing increased hair shedding after one year of using oral dutasteride. They are seeking opinions on their DHT test results, which show levels below baseline.

community Could a reversed SARM designed for the scalp serve as a replacement for oral Dut and Fin?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 2 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the potential of developing a selective oral SARM to target androgen activity in the scalp and skin, as an alternative to oral Dutasteride and Finasteride, which have systemic side effects. It also mentions Clascoterone and RU58841 as topical treatments for hair loss.

community Trestolone (MENT) as a nuclear treatment

in Treatment 99 upvotes 3 years ago

Experimenting with trestolone as a treatment for hair loss in an attempt to avoid DHT-related treatments such as finasteride and dutasteride, and discussing the potential effects of its receptor selectivity on the androgen receptors in the scalp.

community Estrogen is an anabolic for scalp hair, if you mix it with growth stimulants such as oral minoxidil. All we need is an artificial SARM-estrogen that will work only with hair and will be invisible for the rest of the body + some next level AA only for hair – goodbye hair transplant industry

in Transgender 137 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss discussion mentions using estrogen mixed with growth stimulants like oral minoxidil for scalp hair growth. Idea proposed for an artificial SARM-estrogen that only affects hair without body side effects.

community The hardest hair protocol ever!

in Research/Science 10 upvotes 3 years ago

The user is using RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil to slow down aggressive hair loss but is still experiencing hair shedding due to high testosterone levels. They plan to use ostarine to lower testosterone and prevent hair loss while maintaining muscle mass, and will continue using the other treatments.
