What is Cardarine?
Cardarine, also known as “Endurobol,” is a pharmaceutical drug called a Selectrive Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARM). It was developed to treat osteoporosis and muscle loss in people with cancer and other diseases. Instead, Cardarine and other bodybuilding SARMs have gained popularity as “legal steroids” to boost muscle growth without causing as many side effects as traditional steroids.
What is the Problem?
Cardarine is sometimes illegally advertised as a supplement when it is actually a powerful pharmaceutical drug. Unfortunately, studies of Cardarine have linked it to cancer and liver damage. Cardarine is also linked to cardiovascular health problems like heart attack and stroke.

Cardarine Linked to Cancer in Animal Studies
Cardarine was discovered in the 1990s during a research collaboration between Ligand Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
