What the research says about LGD-4033

The single most useful paper on this compound is the phase I study by Basaria and colleagues, published in the Journals of Gerontology Series A in 2013. Seventy six healthy young men received placebo or LGD-4033 daily for three weeks, at doses used in that published research of 0.1mg, 0.3mg and 1mg. Lean body mass rose in a dose dependent fashion, reaching roughly 1.2kg above placebo in the 1mg group over just twenty one days, with no change in prostate specific antigen. The compound was well tolerated over that short window.

The same study recorded the findings that responsible discussion should always carry alongside the lean mass figure. Total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, free testosterone, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides all fell in a dose dependent manner, and follicle stimulating hormone was suppressed. Hormone levels returned towards baseline during follow up after the three week course ended. A later phase II programme in patients recovering from hip fracture reported increases in lean body mass, but the full data set has never been published in a peer reviewed journal.

Mechanistically LGD-4033 is a high affinity, high selectivity ligand for the androgen receptor with an oral bioavailability and half life, around 24 to 36 hours in the published pharmacokinetic work, that suit once daily administration in a study protocol. It binds the receptor considerably more strongly than ostarine does, which explains why the suppression of endogenous hormones appears at much lower milligram figures. Published case reports have described liver injury in people who took products sold as LGD-4033, and in the cases where the product was analysed the contents frequently did not match the label.

Quality and testing

Dexterz Labs products are manufactured in the UK to a fixed strength per capsule with the batch number printed on every bottle. Independent batch certificates of analysis, confirming identity by HPLC or LC-MS and stating purity, are being commissioned and will be published on this page as each batch is tested. Until then, if you need the batch report for research records, contact sales@sarmsstore.co.uk with your batch number.

Frequently asked questions

Is LGD-4033 legal in the UK in 2026? SARMs are not controlled substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, so buying and possessing LGD-4033 as a research chemical is lawful in the United Kingdom in 2026. What is not lawful is selling or advertising it for human use, because the MHRA treats it as an unlicensed medicine in that context. That is why this listing, and every listing on this site, is worded for laboratory research and nothing else.

How fast is delivery? UK orders go out the same working day when placed before the cut off and arrive on a tracked next day service. Parcels are plain and unbranded, with nothing on the outside that identifies the contents. Worldwide shipping is available to most destinations, with a restricted list at checkout covering countries where customs rules make delivery unreliable.

How should the capsules be stored? Store sealed, below 25C, in a dry place away from sunlight and heat. Under those conditions the material is stable to the expiry date shown on the bottle. Humidity is the usual problem with capsules, so a cupboard is better than a windowsill or a bathroom shelf.

Is LGD-4033 banned in sport? Yes. It falls under section S1.2 of the WADA prohibited list and is prohibited at all times, in and out of competition. Several high profile anti doping cases have involved ligandrol, including some attributed to contaminated supplements, and the detection window with current mass spectrometry methods is long.

How does LGD-4033 compare with ostarine? The two compounds are studied for the same tissue, but LGD-4033 binds the androgen receptor much more tightly, which is why the published trial used fractions of a milligram where ostarine trials used single milligrams. Ostarine has the deeper clinical record, with phase II and phase III data. LGD-4033 has one three week phase I study in healthy men, which is more than most compounds in this category can claim but far less than a licensed medicine.
