Ostarine is nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) used in the treatment of osteoporosis and muscle wasting in animal models. A potential compound for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
Ostarine is an orally bioavailable, nonsteroidal SARM that was developed by Gtx, Inc. in the late 1990s primarily for the treatment of muscle wasting and osteoporosis.
