GW 50156 – Cardarine

Cardarine is frequently mistaken to be a SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator). This is absolutely not the case.In reality, GW 50156 is actually a PPARδ receptor agonist (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist) and not a SARM at all.

GW 50156 was designed in the 90s by Ligand Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline to treat diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. If the name Ligand Pharmaceuticals sounds familiar to you, that’s because they developed and named LGD 4033.

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)

THINK KETO without doing the keto diet.

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.

Cardarine Benefits

As we said, GW 50156 has great benefits of fat loss, increased energy, an incredible increase in endurance, improved cardiovascular health and more.

Full list of Cardarine benefits:

  • increased endurance
  • fat loss
  • improved cardiovascular health
  • improved kidney and liver health
    • Now let’s go over each benefit in more detail.

Increased Endurance

As we said earlier in the article, Cardarine actually increases our endurance in two different ways:

  1. Suppression of Glucose metabolism (switching energy source from glucose to fat).
  2. Increased oxidative capacity in muscles.

Both of these together result in a serious increase in endurance. Most people are able to increase their endurance by up to 60% after about 30 minutes from their first Cardarine dosage. Insane, right?

Unsuprisingly, a lot of athletes take GW 50156 just because of this benefit. Sadly, a lot of professional athletes use it as well to get an edge over their competition. In fact, Lance Armstrong is said to have used Cardarine as well as Stenabolic (a similar compound that increases endurance) to be able to win Tour de France 7 times.

You can expect to see increased endurance 30 minutes after your first dosage. You will get even better endurance week after week if you run and train hard. And the best thing about this is, you can keep most of the endurance you gained during your Cardarine cycle if you continue to train and run after the cycle is over.

Most people instantly see around a 50 – 60% endurance increase. This means that if you are able to run 2 miles, you will easily be able to run 3 miles after the first dosage. A lot of people even say that being on GW 50156 feels like you have three lungs because you can breathe so easily.

You won’t notice it only when running, you will also see the increased endurance when lifting weights. You won’t need as much rest time between sets, you won’t be out of breath as much, etc.

Fat Loss

Similar to increasing endurance, Cardarine provides us with the benefit of fat loss in two different ways:

  1. Increased oxidative capacity in muscles – This means that we will burn more calories when exercising than we normally would without Cardarine.
  2. Suppression of Glucose metabolism – switching energy source from Glucose to fat. – This one is pretty self-explanatory. By switching the energy source from glucose to fat, we are able to directly burn off fat instead of first burning off the excess glucose that our body stored. In fact, the effect is very similar to a very strict ketogenic diet, but without actually doing the diet.

According to a study that tested Cardarine on 13 obese men with high body fat percentage and an unhealthy lipid profile. Just 2.5mg of Cardarine reduced their LDL, triglycerides and fatty acids.

In my experience, most people are able to drop 5-7% of their body fat over the course of an 8-week Cardarine cycle. You will be able to lose fat even when on a calorie maintenance diet or a slight calorie surplus. However, for the best results, I recommend that you stick to a slight calorie deficit diet during your GW 50156 cycle.

Remember, when it comes to fat loss, your diet and training will make the biggest impact. You can take as much of Cardarine as you want, if you have a bad diet, it won’t make much of a difference.

Improved Cardiovascular Health

Even low doses of Cardarine were shown to clear up blood vessels which lowers the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases. GW 50156 was shown to be effective at removing the plaque build-up in blood vessels.

In fact, some steroid users who take very strong steroids that are hard on your cardiovascular system, like Trenbolone, often take Cardarine so that they can avoid damaging their cardiovascular system and can stay healthy.

Improved Liver And Kidney Health

Cardarine has a very positive effect on our liver and kidneys. This is really amazing because most similar compounds are actually liver or kidney toxic.

For kidneys, Cardarine showed that it reduces inflammation and studies found out that it lowers the chances of developing kidney disease.

GW 50156 liver and kidneys

GW 50156 also reduced the inflammation in the liver. It also switches the energy source from glucose to fat which is shown to improve our insulin resistance and this is beneficial for our liver and is obviously very beneficial to people who are struggling with Diabetes.

NO NEED FOR PCT

FAQ About Cardarine – GW 50156

Let’s go over some FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about Cardarine ( GW 50156) and answer them.

What Is Cardarine (GW 50156)?

Cardarine is a PPARδ receptor agonist that has benefits like improved endurance, cardiovascular health, fat loss as well as improved kidney and liver health.

How Does Cardarine (GW 50156) Work?

Cardarine will switch our energy source from glucose to fat. This means that we will burn off more fat and we will have more endurance.

What Is The Proper Cardarine Dosage?

The proper Cardarine dosage is between 10-25mg a day. Beginners should start at 10mg a day.

What Is Cardarine Half-Life?

The half-life of Cardarine is 24 hours. This means that we should take one dosage every 24 hours for the best results.

What Side Effects Does Cardarine Have?

A study found that Cardarine can cause the development of cancer. Keep in mind, the study used 50x the recommended dosage for 2 years straight.

Is Cardarine Legal

As of 2020, you can legally buy and use Cardarine in every country in the world except for Australia. In Australia, it’s considered as a Schedule 9 compound by the TGA which means that it’s illegal even with a doctor’s prescription.

Does Cardarine Actually Work

Yes, Cardarine absoluletly works. In fact, it’s so effective that people feel it as soon as 20 minutes after the first dosage.

What Is Cardarine Used For

Cardarine is mostly used for fat loss because of its fat loss benefits. A lot of professional athletes, however, also use it for the benefit of increased endurance

Cardarine Vs GW0742

Some people mistake GW 50156 with GW0742. They are actually the exact same compounds with one difference. GW0742 has one less Hydrogen atom but it has one more Flurione atom.

It was developed by GlaxoSmithKline as a “new version of Cardarine”. As of 2020, GW0742 has no animal or human studies.

A lot of companies are selling Cardarine but very few are selling real, pure GW0742.
