Although many people classify cardarine (GW 501516) as a SARM, it is technically a PPAR-delta agonist (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors). Like how tomatoes, being fruits, are often sold as vegetables, cardarine is commonly marketed as a SARM. Originally developed for health benefits, cardarine functions by activating the same pathways that our bodies engage when we exercise. This article aims to explain everything you need to know about this powerful compound in simple terms.

Cardarine emerged from research partnerships between GSK and Ligand Pharma that began in the early 1990s. Interestingly, the compound advanced to phase 1 trials in 2000 for treating lipid disorders, but these efforts were halted in 2008. Today, however, it is still utilized as a research compound and is popular among athletes for its performance-enhancing and fat-burning properties.

Cardarine was primarily created to address obesity, diabetes, lipid disorders, and heart health issues. Many who undergo blood tests will find that cardarine effectively improves their lipid profiles and significantly enhances cholesterol levels.

Athletes from various sports use cardarine. For example, endurance athletes might combine this PPAR with the AMP analog AICAR or take it alone, resulting in improved exercise endurance. Consequently, they can maintain higher RPMs during their activities without reaching their maximum heart rates. This enables runners, cyclists, and swimmers to push beyond their limits without becoming fatigued, making this combination exceptionally advantageous for endurance sports. From personal experience, I can attest that using cardarine before a race can cut 30-45 seconds off a 5K time.

For bodybuilders, cardarine offers two key advantages: 1. It supports fat burning. 2. It allows for more intense and prolonged workouts without fatigue.

When a lifter performs a set, their heart rate can soar, but with cardarine, many athletes may experience delayed failure as they can manage an extra rep or two. Additionally, they will find they require shorter rest periods between sets, and those who do cardio after weight training will also appreciate these benefits.

Cardarine was extensively misused by athletes prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and was banned by WADA in 2009, being classified as a ‘hormone and metabolic modulator.’ Multiple cyclists, including Russian cyclist Valery Kaykov and Venezuelan Miguel Ubeto, have faced suspensions for its use. Notably, last year, Russian race walker Elena Lashmanova, a world record holder, tested positive for cardarine.

In terms of tackling obesity, cardarine helps reverse metabolic issues in obese and pre-diabetic men by promoting fatty acid oxidation. It encourages fat burning by enhancing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, shifting the body’s metabolism to utilize fat for energy instead of muscle or carbohydrates. Remarkably, it achieves this without lowering blood sugar levels like traditional diabetic medications. Mice placed on a high-fat diet continued to lose weight, demonstrating that cardarine has potential in preventing obesity.

There are several effective ways to stack cardarine: 1. : Combining cardarine with AICAR and/or Equipoise creates a powerful endurance stack. 2. : Pairing cardarine with S4 (Andarine) forms a well-known and effective cutting stack. 3. : When using moderate doses of anabolic steroids or potent compounds like trenbolone, cardarine can enhance lipid profiles and improve endurance, making it an excellent addition when stacking with trenbolone, which can cause rapid breathlessness in athletes. 4. : Since cardarine is non-hormonal, it does not suppress hormonal levels, allowing users to maintain fat loss and enhance workouts during their cycling breaks and post-cycle therapy. 5. : For body recomposition, cardarine pairs well with S4 and MK-2866.

Side effects from cardarine are uncommon, but, like all medications, it should be used at the correct dosage and cycled appropriately. Its non-hormonal nature means there is no risk of suppression or needing post-cycle therapy.

Both men and women typically take a daily dose of 20 milligrams (mg). The half-life of GW501516 is between 20-24 hours, so a single daily dose suffices. Some athletes prefer to take the entire 20 mg around an hour before their workouts, while others divide the dosage into two—one in the morning and one in the evening.

For optimal use, it’s best to administer the liquid directly into your mouth, swallow, and then follow it with juice or water.
