Ostarine (MK-2866) is one of the most researched and popular SARMs, valued for its ability to promote lean muscle gains and strength with minimal side effects. Originally formulated to combat muscle wasting (osteoporosis and cachexia), it powerfully increases protein synthesis in muscle and has a mild effect on strengthening bone. Ostarine is often used in cutting or recomposition phases to help build/retain muscle while losing fat.

- Increases lean muscle mass and strength without excessive bulk – gains are steady, quality, and dry (no water retention)
- Prevents muscle catabolism during calorie deficits, making it ideal for cutting – users can diet while preserving or even gaining muscle
- Promotes a hard, lean look – muscles appear fuller and more toned (some compare the look to what they get on Anavar in terms of hardness)
- Improves bone density and joint health (developed to combat osteoporosis, it has positive effects on bone and may alleviate joint issues due to its mild collagen synthesis boost)
- Minimal side effects: no estrogen conversion, no significant androgenic side effects (women can use low doses with low virilization risk)
- Does not negatively impact appetite or sleep; if anything, some report improved mood and well-being on Ostarine
- Great for beginners as an introduction to SARMs due to its safety profile and well-studied nature
Ostarine is commonly dosed at 20–25 mg per day for men. Women often use 5–10 mg per day. This product’s concentration is 30 mL at 30 mg/mL (for example). So, 0.5 mL ~ 15 mg, 0.66 mL ~ 20 mg, 0.83 mL ~ 25 mg, etc. Using the dropper, measure out your desired dose and squirt it into your mouth, then swallow (chasing with water or juice if needed). Take it once per day, around the same time each day – consistent daily dosing keeps blood levels stable given Ostarine’s ~24-hour half-life. Cycle length is typically 8–12 weeks. It’s mild, but it can still cause some suppression at higher doses or longer cycles, so a mini-PCT of 3–4 weeks (like low-dose Tamoxifen or just a test booster) is often advised for cycles over 8 weeks or doses at 20+ mg. If stacking with other SARMs or compounds, you might lower the dose (e.g., 10–15 mg if combined with something stronger). Store the bottle in a cool, dry place and shake if you see any settling.
MK-2866 selectively binds to androgen receptors in muscle and bone, acting like an anabolic hormone in those tissues without significant activity in others. When it binds to muscle cell ARs, it triggers similar gene expression changes as testosterone would: increasing muscle fiber size, boosting strength, and enhancing recovery. It has an anabolic:androgenic ratio reported around 10:1, meaning strong anabolic (muscle-building) effects with very low androgenic (secondary sexual characteristic) effects. For bone, Ostarine improves bone mineral density by stimulating bone-forming cells – part of why it was initially researched for osteoporosis. Importantly, unlike steroids, Ostarine does not convert to estrogen or DHT. However, some of the testosterone in your body might still aromatize when Ostarine suppresses you a bit and your T is trying to rebound (but Ostarine itself doesn’t aromatize). In the big picture, on cycle, Ostarine tends to slightly lower total testosterone and slightly increase estrogen relative to that lower T (because some of your T is still converting to E). Yet, because Ostarine occupies androgen receptors in the hypothalamus/pituitary, it lowers LH and FSH (not dramatically at moderate doses, but noticeable in bloodwork), leading to temporary suppression of natural testosterone production. The suppression is dose-dependent: 20–25 mg for 8 weeks might suppress about 50% of your test. This is why a short PCT is helpful. Mechanistically, Ostarine has shown to increase IGF-1 levels mildly, which can contribute to its muscle-building and joint-healing properties. It also appears to upregulate collagen synthesis to a small degree (helping joints). Another interesting point: Ostarine was demonstrated to improve insulin resistance and glucose uptake in muscle in some studies – meaning it can help partition nutrients towards muscle (a reason it’s good in recomp). There’s also evidence it reduces lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in fat tissue, which could reduce fat accumulation. So it’s not purely anabolic, but also can be somewhat recomp-friendly at the metabolic level. In summary, Ostarine triggers muscle ARs to build muscle and bone ARs to strengthen bone, with minimal impact elsewhere.
30 mL dropper bottle (liquid solution, 30 mg/mL).
Expected results: In an 8-week cycle at 25 mg/day with proper diet/training, one might gain ~5+ lbs of lean mass while dropping some fat – it shines in body recomposition. Side effects: generally mild – the most common is suppression of natural T (leading to a dip in libido or testicular fullness by end of cycle if no PCT is done). A few users report headaches or joint ache (interestingly, others report joint improvement). It does not cause liver stress in moderate doses (it’s not 17aa), though extremely high doses might nudge liver enzymes. Ostarine can cause a slight increase in estrogen relative to decreased T, but it usually isn’t enough to cause gyno; in fact, some guys run it alongside anabolics to prevent gyno by using it as a bridge with SERMs (not a proven method, but anecdotal). Women using Ostarine at low dose (5–10 mg) generally do not report virilization – it’s one of the more female-friendly SARMs – but caution is always advised and lower durations (6-8 weeks) for women. Legality: Ostarine is not approved by FDA for human use; it’s a research chemical and banned in sports (WADA). So use responsibly and understand the legal context in your region. Stacking: Many stack Ostarine with a cutting agent like Cardarine or with other SARMs (like S4 or LGD) to amplify results – be mindful, stacking increases suppression. Diet: Because Ostarine can increase nutrient partitioning, ensure you have sufficient protein (at least 1 g/lb bodyweight) to fully exploit the anabolic effects. Stay hydrated and perhaps add fish oil to support joint health as you may lift heavier. Recovery on Ostarine is notably better – soreness often is reduced. Overall, Ostarine is often a user’s first SARM because it’s effective yet gentle; treat it with respect (do PCT, etc.) and it will reward you with quality gains.
