RAD140 (Testolone): A True Replacement for Testosterone?

Creating the perfect body can be a difficult task. Many bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have resorted to using anabolic steroids such as testosterone in order to give them a quick advantage. One thing is true: testosterone works. It builds muscle fast and speeds recovery like nothing else. Unfortunately, testosterone also has a tone of side effects and needs to be injected frequently. What if there was a way to achieve the same effects of testosterone without the side effects? Now there is, and it’s available in a SARM called RAD140.

What is RAD140

Radius Health created RAD140 to treat patients with muscle wasting conditions. They quickly found that RAD140 drastically increased muscle mass in test subjects. Because RAD140 is a SARM and not a steroid, it doesn’t have nearly as many side effects. Also, it can be taken orally (unlike testosterone). Testolone has shown to have an anabolic to androgenic ratio of 90:1. This means that testolone is nearly as anabolic as testosterone but has hardly any of the androgenic side effects (such as hair loss).

Benefits of RAD140

As I previously mentioned, RAD140 is truly a miracle SARM. It can be used for a variety of different uses. Just like YK-11, it can be used for both cutting and bulking cycles. I personally like to include testolone in all of my cycles. You can also “recomp” with RAD140 The goal of a recomp is to lose fat while you build muscle.

RAD140 Builds Muscle

If you’re looking to build some serious muscle mass, RAD140 is a great choice. Initial studies showed that patients taking testolone saw a large increase of muscle mass that was not found with the placebo group. For more serious muscle growth, you can consider stacking it with LGD 4033.

RAD140 Burns Fat

Another positive effect of RAD140 is it’s ability to burn fat. It’s very similar to testosterone in this aspect. You can stack it with ostarine or cardarine to increase fat loss in your cycle, but RAD140 works great as a standalone compound as well.

Increased Endurance

If you’re into cardio, you’re going to love RAD140. One of my favorite benefits of RAD140 is how it increases cardiovascular performance and elevates oxygen levels in the body. You will be able to run longer, train harder, and recover faster. Obviously, these are all important aspects when training to create the perfect body.

Treatment for Breast Cancer

This is probably not applicable to the majority of my audience, but I figured I’d touch on it. Originally when Radius Health was running their trials, they discovered that testolone could be used to treat breast cancer in females. Obviously, I don’t recommend using this SARM if you have any sort of serious medical conditions. If you have any risk of cancer, go see a doctor immediately.

Side Effects of RAD140

RAD140 is pretty gentle on the body. It does not produce many side effects at all. Because it has such a low androgenic rating, users do not have to worry about prostate enlargement or hair loss. Also, it does not convert to estrogen. That means no risk of gynocomastia, either. With that being said, if you experience discomfort then stop taking testolone. As with all SARMs, I recommend keeping a very clean diet and increasing your water intake to help stay hydrated.

Best Dosage for RAD140

If you’re considering taking RAD140, you’ll want to know what the best dose to take is. I recommend taking a daily dose of between 20mg and 30mg. Like I always say, I recommend taking a smaller dose the first week to see how your body reacts. More is not always better when it comes to SARMs. Take 10mg a day for the first week, and if all is well, you can increase the dosage. Because testolone is mild on the body, you can run it up to 16 weeks if you’d like. Here is an example cycle template you can follow:

Week 1: 10mg per day.

Weeks 2, 3, and 4: 20mg per day.

Weeks 5 through 16: 30mg per day

As you can see, my dosing schedule for this SARM works by slowly ramping up your dosage until you reach it’s maximum dose. If at any time during the cycle you feel like you’re getting good results, you might want to keep your dosage the same instead of increasing it further.

Half Life of RAD140

RAD140 has a half life of 16 hours. 16 hours is not considered short by any means, but users may opt to take half their dosage in the morning and the remaining half at night. Splitting doses like this will ensure that you’re reaching peak plasma levels.

Before and After Results of RAD140

Whether your’re looking at doing a bulking or cutting cycle, you’ll want to see some before and after pictures to know what results to expect. I researched some popular bodybuilding and fitness forums to see what kind of results people were getting on their cycles. The results, as you will see, are pretty astonishing. Here are some before and after pics I found:

As you can see from the pictures above, users typically get some really great results from using this SARM.

Buy RAD140 Online

Now that you’re ready to start your cycle, you’ll need to know where to buy RAD140 online. There is one thing you should know. Companies quite often fake their SARMs. Many companies label fake product as RAD140 and sell it to consumers. These companies know that most consumers don’t have an adequate way to test what they’re buying online. Because of this, I only recommend buying online from a trusted source such as Proven Peptides. They’ve been in business a long time, and they have all of their products independently tested by a 3rd party lab to guarantee purity.

Liquid vs Pills

If you follow my blog, you know that I only recommend buying SARMs in liquid form. When stored in pill form, SARMs lose their potentcy. Also, buying in liquid form allows you to split doses easily and get an accurate measurement of how much you are taking. For example, if you have capsules dosed at 20mg each, and you want to take 10mg twice a day, you won’t be able to.

Frequently Asked Questions

I try to be as extensive as possible with these guides. With that being said, people always have additional questions.

Does RAD140 cause suppression?

No, it does not. Testolone does not cause shut down of natural testosterone production.

Do I need a PCT after my cycle?

No, you do not. Because testolone does not cause any shut down, you do not need a post cycle therapy.

How long does it take to kick in?

Most users will find that RAD140 kicks in by week two. Results will be even more pronounced by week 4 and on. You will continue seeing more positive effects for the duration of your cycle.

Does RAD140 cause gyno?

No, testolone does not cause gyncomastia. It has no conversion to estrogen. You do not need to take an AI while on cycle.

RAD140 vs LGD 4033

Some people ask me which is the better SARM to take. It really depends on your goals. LGD 4033 is much better as a pure bulking agent. Testolone is a better SARM for more versatile uses. Of course, you can stack both together as well.

RAD140 vs Testosterone

This is a much more difficult question to answer. You might find better gains with steroids, but for most people the side effects will outweigh the benefits. You do not need to inject SARMs.

Closing Thoughts

I hope you found this guide on RAD140 to be beneficial. Remember, I am not a doctor. I am only a fitness guru who has been in the industry a long time. I write these guides to help others make their own decisions about SARMs and other performance enhancers. With that being said, I always invite you to ask questions if you have them.
