Synopsis

Rating (out of 5): 3

Testolone (RAD-140) is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that has gained attention in fitness and bodybuilding communities for its potential to promote muscle growth and fat loss. The scientific rationale for its use in supporting weight loss is based on its anabolic activity, which may help increase lean muscle mass. Increased muscle mass can raise basal metabolic rate, thereby potentially enhancing fat loss when combined with proper diet and exercise.

Preclinical studies in animals have shown that RAD-140 can increase muscle growth and reduce fat mass without the same degree of androgenic side effects as anabolic steroids. However, there is a lack of extensive human clinical data. Limited human studies and anecdotal reports suggest improvements in body composition, but these are not robust enough for definitive conclusions. No regulatory agencies have approved Testolone for weight loss or any other medical use, and its safety profile in humans is not fully established.

In summary, while there is some scientific basis—primarily from preclinical studies and limited human evidence—for the use of Testolone to aid weight loss through improved muscle-to-fat ratio, the supporting evidence is moderate at best and not yet well-established in rigorous clinical trials. Its use for weight loss remains experimental, with potential risks and legal considerations.
