Description
Cardarine is frequently mistaken to be a SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator). This is absolutely not the case.
In reality, Cardarine is actually a PPARδ receptor agonist (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist) and not a SARM at all.
We have it listed under our SARMS category because a lot of people think it’s a SARM, and it’s just to make it easier for these people to find.
How does Cardarine work?:
————————–
As we said, Cardarine is a PPARδ receptor agonist. This means that it binds to the PPARδ receptor to trigger some biological responses.
The main results of Cardarine binding to the PPARδ receptor are:
– Increased oxidative capacity in muscles (This means more fat loss and a great increase in endurance)
– Switching our energy source from glucose to fat (suppression of Glucose metabolism)
Scientists and athletes are most interested in the Glucose metabolism suppression effect that Cardarine has. Athletes love this because it’s one of the main reasons for the incredible endurance increase benefit that Cardarine provides.
Scientists on the other hand, are very interested in this because it results in an increase in insulin sensitivy. This means that Cardarine has the potential to treat Diabetes.
Glucose metabolism suppression essentially means that the body starts using fat as an energy source instead of fat. Because of this, a lot of people started using Cardarine to help them lose body fat easier.
The benefits are:
——————-
As we said, Cardarine has great benefits of fat loss, increased energy, an incredible increase in endurance, improved cardiovascular health and more.
– Increased endurance
– Fat loss
– Improved cardiovascular health
– Improved kidney and liver health
Cardarine Dosage:
——————-
We recommend that you run a dosage of 10-25mg of Cardarine a day to see the best results. Beginners should obviously start at 10mg and work their way up. These dosages were also shown to have no signs of risk of cancer so this is why we recommend that you stay in this range.
You should cycle Cardarine for 8-weeks. Some people do 12-weeks without problems but we still recommend 8 weeks because a study showed that this cycle length is safe and has no side effects.
Cardarine has a half-life of 24 hours. This means that in order to keep the optimal levels of Cardarine in our body (to get the best possible results), we should take a dosage once every 24 hours. If you forget a dosage, don’t worry, just take the normal dosage (not a double) the next day and continue your cycle normally.
Some recent studies have shown, however, that the half-life of Cardarine might be somewhere between 10-24 hours.
So that is why you can even take it a step further by splitting your dosage into two parts. Studies have shown that this is actually superior to taking one dosage a day. Although the difference is not that big, it’s still worth trying if you’re taking more than 10mg.
