Cardarine research overview now published.
Cardarine (GW501516, endurobol), CAS no 317318-70-0, has been of interest to scientists in association of improving LDL/HDL (’good’/’bad’ cholesterol) ratio. While the number of publications is not exactly minimal. There is insufficient evidence for cardarine to be used as an effective drug. Also there is a scientific debate associated with its pro-cancer and anti-cancer effects.
Cardarine (GW501516) and doping
In addition to scientific debate, there seems to be a rather polarized controversy surrounding cardarine among anti-doping organization and doping users that is less than stellar regarding to balanced presentation of information and use of evidence-based argumentation. For example, the controversy includes but is not limited to cardarine being assumed as an effective means of weight reduction while exactly the opposite can be suggested according to evidence. In addition, the effects of cardarine are dose dependent according to the evidence.
