Ostarine/ MK 2866
Post any info or experiences with Ostarine that is useful or educational.

Here is my bloodwork on ostarine and S4. Notice LH, FSH are above normal range and testosterone serum is gtg. This was 5 weeks on SARMs and 4 weeks past my finalization of pct.
E2 was 5.7 crashed and believe ostarine to be the cause, another mate had ran ostarine about the same time and had bloodwork and his E2 had crashed as well. https://www.eroids.com/pics/bloodwork-5-weeks-post-pct
Dosing protocols:
Most people dose ostarine at 12.5 to 33 mg, I've used both and had good results. I've heard of people using higher doses but I don't think it's necessary. Once daily dose is fine due to half life is around 24 hrs.
Cycle 6 weeks.

is there a certain time of day for dosing? before workouts? or early morning?
So after doing some reading in here I decided to include ostatrine in my PCT this go around... It was the only thing different in this PCT from last (except I didn't use clomid last either) and last time i was at 900 in just 4.5 weeks, this time i'm not even at 300 5 weeks after cycle... It could be other factors but at the moment i'm ostarine is my number one suspect.

what dose were you taking?
Sorry thought I included that. 15mg
Can anyone pm a source for ostraine, the one I used in the past only has 25mg caps and would like to use this again for my upcoming pct.
I think he makes liquid ostarine to, but I just use the caps and open them and take half, problem solved.
Is the liquid a better way to go
AnonFor me caps work better and the feeling lasts longer than liquid.
I like caps better, but don't have anything against using liquid Sarms.
Would running it be a good idea during pct?
rocketballzIn my case it was the difference between experiencing the hormonal crash that happens around week 1 or 2 of pct and completely not experiencing it AT ALL. I started the ostarine the week before I started the standard clomid/nolva protocol, so like a week or so after my last pin of test enth. I took 15 mgs/day for that week and then for the first 3 weeks of pct and did NOT experience any kind of hormonal crash at any point; unlike the prior cycle where I was down for 2 solid weeks. I can't back this up with bloods but I don't believe ostarine was suppressive at all at 15 mgs/day during pct. I used pharma pct meds along with ostarine and I also did a 10 day blast of 1000iu's of hcg eod while waiting to start pct, but stopped prior to the start of pct. The bloods I did get at 4 or 5 months post pct indicated that I am fully recovered. Test was at 605, LH was at 9.9 (high), and FSH was at like 4.5. I posted up my bloods about a month ago. Those numbers indicate my hpta is functioning properly and arguably even still a little elevated after 5 months!! Bottom line...ostarine is another tool, like SERMS, hcg, etc which helps promote recovery and possibly anabolism during a time that most who have cycled dread and that's PCT. Ostarine, for me, made all the difference in the world. But....research it thoroughly and use accordingly.
Could it possibly have been the hcg? I ask because I have seen others do hcg for pct.
rocketballzI think the hcg certainly didn't hurt. I was also doing test boosters including DAA, horney goat weed and trib on top of the serms so I was coming at it from every angle possible. It's hard to pin down exactly what helped with the crash but my money is on the ostarine. It's the only thing I did differently from prior cycles.
I and a few others have ran ostarine during pct and bloodwork and recovery was good. Just use a low dose like 15 mg, just enough to help keep your gains during pct.
I've only found 20mg caps so far, is that to much during pct?
That should be ok, or you could open the cap and take half 10 mg.
Didn't think about that
Excellent, thank you sir.
Hitman187i agree. its definitley benefical to run during pct for keeping gains, and mood up. i even got stronger during pct while running ostarine, hit pr on incline bench. i dont see me running a pct again without it, you just have to keep doses minimal like you mentioned around 15mg, ive never gone over 20mg during pct.
Looking to possible try this out for maybe 60 days.

Is Ostarine the best choice as far as SARMS go?
What PCT will be needed?
I've never ran a cycle before, any advice will be appreciated.
No pct needed. All you need in 15 mg ed for a cut to help hold muscle and cut fat. Some people report supression at doses 30 mg and up but you'll be ok at 15 mg. I think it's your best choice, although some people stack S4 with it during a cut for the dry hardening effect. You'll like ostarine I recommend you do just ostarine and get to know the compound. There's no side effects and workouts and steady gains are awesome and you'll retain all muscle gained when your finished.
Curious to get some opinions on this. I'm most likely getting gyno surgery sometime this winter. I'll be off cycle but on trt and was debating running some ostarine post surgery to help with muscle preservation and healing. Good idea or bad?
Sounds ideal for your situation being that it's basically research for trt, cancer patients and muscle wasting. I've had bloods done on ostarine and E2 was low. I know of another guy that ran ostarine on trt and his E2 was 29. Only thing is what your doing is unchartered territory, so it's your call, I can't recommend either way, just give you data on what we know so far about it.
Well I'll give it a shot I suppose. I don't mind being a guinea pig and I can't see much of a downside and may take out the need for an AI
I was wanting to get some bloodwork done. Wk 5 of ostarine will only be 18 days from discontinuing pct. Do you think this is long enough after pct to pull blood or would it be better to wait till wk 6 which would be 25 days after?
Also, will the female hormone panel suffice or should I do something else? Thx
Yes the female hormone panel is what you want. Generally you'd wait and pull bloodwork 8 weeks post pct, that gives it enough time for things to level out and see if you HPTA has actually recovered or not. So if you can wait a few more weeks and draw bloodwork.
Ok thx. I thought it might be to soon but I also wanted to see what kind if affect the ostarine is having on my system too. I can definitely wait though. I've never pulled bloodwork before. I may need some help interpreting it.
Sure just post it in the labs section when they come in. If you have the extra money you could pull bloods now and then later at the 8 week mark.

Here is the full test result. Appreciate you very much bro.
Day 22. Up between 5 & 6 # this morning!!
Alright you got that 6 lbs back, awesome!
I was up 1 1/2 # this morning. I haven't seen the scale move up in 5 weeks so that's a good sign! Workouts have been really good.
How many days have you been bang'n the ostarine.
Today is day 17. I didn't start noticing much until day 14, but I can really tell now.
nice! I felt the same...took about 10-14 days and then noticed some good strength gains, and pretty sudden increase in vascularity while on this cut. Muscles def feel harder and I'm on nothing but TRT otherwise.
I am about to pull the trigger on Ostarine and GW-50. 35 yr old rugby player here, 6'1 225#.
My main concern is driving E2 down too low. It is weird, because you read such different reports online about this compound.
Thanks for this group humpnpump good info on here!
Just keep an eye out for sore dry achy joints. It could have very well been the S4 that dropped E2, but someone else at the time was taking ostarine only and did bloods and E2 had crashed, so we just assumed it to be the ostarine.
I'm on TRT while on ostarine right now and have noticed joint pain increasing. I don't have time right now to get bloods but am gonna hold off on using my aromasin any more until I get off the Osta.
I assume the estro is going down with these compounds simply due to shutdown yet no aromatization? Prob shouldn't affect those on TRT much, but I'm speculating there.
It's not due to shutdown my test serum was 635 and fst and LH were off the charts. I'm thinking it has aromatase inhibiting capibilities somehow.
Were you taking anything else that could of effected you lh and fsh levels
I stopped taking DSIP about a week before, but the other guy that had blood work done with using just ostarine, his LH and fst was above average levels also. He didn't post his blood work, but relayed this through MegaT that's the blood work guru on eroids.
Hmmm thanks
How long did it take to notice an effect from the ostarine and what did you first notice?
I am currently cutting, and am on TRT, but noticed a difference on osta after first 10 days or so.
Mood has been elevated. Seem to have started losing weight a bit faster and lifts are going UP in the gym. Definitely works.
My joints/tendons are getting achy and e2 is probably dropping, but not sure as I don't have bloods right now.
I seem to be a quick responder to most substances and i usually feel it the first week. Most people say a couple weeks though. First thing I notice is mood and well being is up, nothing dramatic just generally ready to get stuff done rather than put it off. Next gym sessions are better, start getting a good pump and adding a little mass and recovery is faster. My weight gain comes quick the first 2 weeks around 5 lbs and then it stays around that the rest of the cycle, but this is on a maintenance diet, I'm sure i could add more if I was bulking and increasing cals.
I really appreciate you answering questions and going to all of the effort to put all of this together. I started seeing a buzz about sarms in about 2007 if I remember right. If it sounds to good to be true then it usually is, especially when it comes to supplements & aas alternatives. Now all you see is all of the hype on the internet from "labs" and all of their BS reviews. Even the damn supposed articles generally written about them are just advertisement incognito. That's what makes eroids great, people like you who are actually researching, using the products, and then taking the time to share as well as ask for feedback. Thanks hump!
Thanks. We're just trying to figure things out, so same for you, i incourage feedback for you as well.
I'm currently on day 3 so I don't know much yet, but I thought about doing a cycle log.
That would be great, it can help show if people respond different. If you start a log let me know, I'll post the link up top so it will have quick access to your log when they want to check it out.
