Muscle building:

Ostarine is, like all SARMs, androgenic, so it mimics the effect of testosterone on the muscle cells. Doing so, it increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention leading to great muscle-building abilities. Ostarine is also the androgenic SARM with the lowest chance of side effects, making it the preferred SARMs of many gym enthusiasts.

Burn Fat and protect Muscle Mass:

Ostarine (MK-2866) is mainly used for cutting (dropping body fat) with muscle and strength preservation but also for recomposition (gaining muscle and losing body fat simultaneously). Muscle preservation is the goal while cutting, not building muscle and strength. Often times when we are at a calorie deficit for weight loss we also lose some muscle mass. Ostarine helps prevent this from happening while at the same time helping prevent water retention. During recomposition, calories should be adequate for weight maintenance, not weight loss.

Low testosterone suppression:

Ostarine is the SARM that affects testosterone the least. That being said it is still a great SARM for muscle building. Like any SARM at a high dose, Ostarine can be suppressive but at regular dosage (20 mg a day) suppression is not an issue.

Recovery (injuries):

Ostarine is an incredibly special SARM because it can help recovery not only from training but also from many injuries. It increases tendon strength, ligament health, bone density and encourages collagen turnover. All those abilities are specific to Ostarine and are the reason why so many athletes take that SARM. It doesn’t only improve performance, but it also reduces the chance of injuries and if an injury happens, recovery will be greatly improved.
