What is S23?

S23 is one of the most potent SARMs ever developed, with an anabolic-to-androgenic ratio that approaches anabolic steroids. It causes near-complete testosterone suppression (it was studied as a male contraceptive) and produces dramatic muscle and strength gains. It is not for beginners and requires careful PCT management.

Mechanism of Action

S23 binds to androgen receptors with extremely high affinity and full agonist activity in muscle and bone. Its high binding affinity causes near-complete suppression of LH and FSH, essentially shutting down natural testosterone production. This makes it one of the most suppressive SARMs.

S23 Dosing Protocol

10–25 mg/day oral, split into 2 doses. Cycle: 6–8 weeks maximum. Aggressive PCT required (Nolvadex + Clomid). Bloodwork is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions about S23

Is S23 safe?
S23 is one of the riskiest SARMs due to near-complete testosterone suppression. It was studied as a male contraceptive because it essentially shuts down sperm production. PCT is absolutely required and recovery can take months. It should only be used by experienced researchers who understand the risks and have access to bloodwork and PCT medications.
