YK-11

YK-11 is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) known for its potential in muscle growth and performance enhancement. Here’s a detailed overview:

YK-11 General Information:

• Chemical Name: YK-11
• Common Name: YK-11
• Class: SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator)
• Common Use: Muscle growth, strength enhancement, and performance improvement

Pharmacology:

• Mechanism of Action:
  • YK-11 is a SARM that selectively binds to androgen receptors in muscle tissues, promoting muscle growth and strength. It has a unique mechanism compared to other SARMs by also inhibiting myostatin, a protein that limits muscle growth.
  • This dual action is believed to enhance muscle mass more effectively than many other SARMs.

Administration and Dosage:

• Method: Oral
• Typical Dosage:
  • Commonly used doses range from 5-15 mg per day.
  • It is often taken in cycles of 8-12 weeks.

Effects and Benefits:

• Increased Muscle Mass: Promotes significant muscle growth and strength.
• Enhanced Strength: Users report improvements in strength and physical performance.
• Potential Fat Loss: This may contribute to fat loss indirectly through increased muscle mass and metabolism.

Side Effects:

• Potential Risks:
  • Limited long-term studies on human use mean that side effects are not well-documented.
  • Possible side effects include hormonal imbalances, liver stress, and suppression of natural testosterone production.
  • As with other SARMs, the impact on lipids and overall cardiovascular health is not fully known.

Warnings:

• Regulatory Status: YK-11 is classified as a research chemical and is not approved for human use by the FDA or similar regulatory bodies.
• Legal Status: Its legality varies by country, and it is often sold through research chemical suppliers.
