- Increased Lean Body Mass: In a Phase 1 clinical trial, healthy young men taking 1.0 mg daily for 21 days showed a dose-dependent increase in lean body mass.
- Enhanced Muscle Strength: Studies in both healthy young men and patients recovering from hip fractures indicated improvements in muscle strength and physical function.
- Improved Bone Health: Ligandrol has demonstrated anabolic and anti-resorptive activity in bone in animal models, suggesting potential for treating conditions like osteoporosis.
- Prevention of Muscle Wasting: It was originally developed as a potential treatment for conditions causing muscle atrophy, such as aging, cancer cachexia, and muscular dystrophy.
- Minimal Water Retention: Unlike some anabolic steroids, LGD-4033 is generally associated with lean muscle gains without significant water retention
