SARMS

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, or SARMs for short, are a class of compounds that interact with androgen receptors in the body. These compounds are designed to selectively target specific tissues, such as muscle and bone, with the aim of achieving similar effects to traditional anabolic steroids while minimizing unwanted side effects.

They work by binding to androgen receptors in a tissue-selective manner, which means they can enhance muscle growth, bone density, and physical performance without the extensive hormonal fluctuations and potential side effects associated with steroids. This selectivity is achieved by fine-tuning the chemical structure of SARMs to primarily activate anabolic pathways (related to muscle and bone growth) while sparing androgenic pathways (related to undesirable side effects).

SARMs have gained popularity among athletes, bodybuilders, and individuals seeking to improve their physique or athletic performance. They have sparked interest for their potential in addressing hair loss, specifically androgenetic alopecia, which is associated with the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Since they are known for their selective binding to androgen receptors in muscle and bone tissues, aiming to minimize androgenic side effects while maximizing anabolic effects. Some researchers have hypothesized that certain SARMs could be adapted to target androgen receptors in the scalp, potentially influencing hair growth by reducing DHT levels locally.
