What is Ligandrol?
Ligandrol (LGD-4033, also coded VK5211) is a nonsteroidal SARM discovered by Ligand Pharmaceuticals and later licensed to Viking Therapeutics. It binds the androgen receptor with high affinity and, in animal models, acts strongly on muscle and bone while sparing the prostate.
It has never been approved as a medicine and is on the WADA prohibited list.

Research on Ligandrol
A phase 1 study by Basaria and colleagues, published in the Journals of Gerontology in 2013, gave LGD-4033 to 76 healthy young men for 21 days. Lean body mass rose in a dose-dependent way, and the study also reported dose-related drops in HDL cholesterol and testosterone.
Viking later ran a phase 2 trial of VK5211 in older patients recovering from hip fracture.

What’s in each Ligandrol capsule
Each capsule holds a fixed, measured amount of Ligandrol (10mg), so there’s nothing to weigh out. For studies that need the same amount every time, that’s the main advantage over loose powder.
If you need amounts that don’t match the capsule size, the powder is more flexible, because you can weigh exactly what each sample needs and make up your own solutions or capsules at whatever strength your protocol calls for. Capsules are best for repeat work where the amount doesn’t change. Keep the lid tight, since moisture is the main thing that degrades capsule contents.
Planning a study with Ligandrol capsules
Work out how many capsules your study needs before you order. Multiply the number of subjects by the number of administrations per subject, then add a few spare for losses. With 60 capsules in a bottle, that tells you straight away how many bottles to buy.
Keep all the capsules for one study from the same batch where you can. It removes batch-to-batch variation from your results.
Ligandrol quality and testing
We test each batch of Ligandrol by LC-MS, which pairs liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The chromatography splits the sample into its components and the mass spectrometer identifies them, which tells you both identity and purity. This batch came in at 99% or higher.
Small differences between batches are normal, so write the batch number from the label into your records. If something looks wrong when your order arrives, like discoloured powder or a cloudy solution, set it aside and don’t use it.
Storage and handling
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the desiccant in the bottle and the lid closed tight. Label anything you decant with the compound, amount and date, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
