What is Ostarine (MK-2866)?
Ostarine (MK-2866, Enobosarm) is one of the most extensively studied SARMs. Binds the androgen receptor with high affinity and selectivity, producing anabolic effects in muscle and bone with minimal androgenic activity in prostate and other tissues. Well-characterised SARM reference compound for receptor selectivity research, muscle wasting models, and comparative SARM pharmacology. Research use only.
Research Applications
