Umbrella Labs SARMs: compounds, formats and research
Umbrella Labs SARMs cover the selective androgen receptor modulators researchers ask for most, plus a few related compounds that usually get stocked next to them. This guide explains what SARMs are, what the main compounds have been studied for, which format to pick, and how to buy Umbrella Labs SARMs online.
What are SARMs?
SARMs are small molecules that bind the androgen receptor, the same receptor testosterone acts on. They were designed to act strongly in muscle and bone while having less effect on tissues like the prostate. That tissue selectivity is the reason drug companies started developing them in the late 1990s.
None of them has been approved as a medicine, and all of them are on the WADA prohibited list. Umbrella Labs sells SARMs for laboratory research use only.
The main Umbrella Labs SARMs and what they’ve been studied for
Ostarine (MK-2866)
Ostarine, also called enobosarm, went further in clinical testing than any other SARM. It was studied in older adults and in people with cancer-related muscle wasting, and a phase II trial reported gains in lean body mass. It still hasn’t been approved. Ostarine (MK-2866) liquid is 25mg per mL.
Ligandrol (LGD-4033)
In a 2013 phase I study of healthy young men, LGD-4033 raised lean body mass over 21 days and lowered testosterone in a dose-dependent way. Umbrella Labs sells ligandrol (LGD-4033) liquid at 20mg per mL.
RAD-140 (testolone)
RAD-140 was developed by Radius Health. Most of its data comes from animal studies, and it was later looked at in a small early-stage trial in breast cancer. RAD-140 liquid is 20mg per mL.
S-23
S-23 is one of the strongest binders in the class. It’s been studied mostly in rats, including work on it as a possible male contraceptive. There are no human trials. See S-23 liquid.
Related compounds stocked with SARMs
Two of the most requested compounds in this section aren’t SARMs at all, but researchers often order them together.
Ibutamoren (MK-677) mimics ghrelin and raises growth hormone and IGF-1. Human studies have looked at it in older adults. Umbrella Labs sells ibutamoren (MK-677) liquid at 25mg per mL.
Cardarine (GW-501516) activates PPAR-delta, a receptor involved in fat metabolism. Its development was stopped in 2007 after rodent studies found tumors at high doses. Cardarine liquid is 20mg per mL.
The section also includes YK-11, SR-9009 and the SERM enclomiphene, which acts on estrogen receptors instead.
Choosing a format for Umbrella Labs SARMs
Most compounds come in four formats. The compound and purity are the same in each.
- SARM liquids are pre-dissolved at a fixed concentration, so you measure by volume with a pipette.
- SARM capsules hold the same amount in every capsule, usually 60 to a bottle.
- SARM powder is the cheapest per milligram and the most flexible if you make your own solutions.
- SARM gel packs are single-use packets for oral administration in research models.
Pick the format that matches how you measure, then stay with it for the whole study.
Storing SARMs
Keep liquids, capsules and powder in a cool, dry place away from sunlight with the lid tight. Liquids don’t need the fridge. If you’re weighing powder, our lab supplies include pocket scales, micro scoops and weighing paper.
How Umbrella Labs tests its SARMs
Every batch is tested by LC-MS, and each product page lists the purity. The lab testing page explains how we read those results.
How to compare Umbrella Labs SARMs before you buy
Check three things on each product page: the concentration or amount per unit, the carrier for liquids, and the purity. Two liquids at 20mg and 25mg per mL aren’t interchangeable, so record the concentration in your protocol, not just the volume.
It’s also worth reading the original studies before you choose a compound. Ostarine and LGD-4033 have human trial data, while S-23 has only been studied in animals. Searching the compound name on PubMed shows what’s been published and in which models.
