GW501516, commonly known as Cardarine, is a synthetic compound initially developed to treat metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. While not a SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator), it is often grouped with them due to its performance-enhancing properties.
Mechanism of Action
Cardarine functions as a PPARδ (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta) agonist, influencing the body’s metabolism by:
-
Enhancing fatty acid oxidation
-
Increasing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle
-
Shifting the body’s energy preference from glucose to lipids
Dosage and Administration
-
Typical Dosage: 10–20 mg per day
-
Cycle Length: 6–8 weeks
-
Administration: Split the daily dose into two (e.g., 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg in the evening) to maintain stable plasma levels, considering its half-life of approximately 16 hours
