Ryan Garcia PED Allegation: How Can SARMs Like Ostarine Provide An Edge to Athletes Over Competitors in Combat Sports

Boxing sensation, Ryan Garcia, always turns heads, whether through his performance or his social media posts. But the recent drug test results of KingRy after his majority decision victory over the WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney has not only shocked the boxing community but also the sports world at large. The star boxer tested positive for a banned substance.

According to recent reports, star boxer Ryan Garcia’s urine samples, collected by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) before and after his latest fight, allegedly tested positive for Ostarine. Garcia has denied using any performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) and is still poking fun at the news from the X account. While the truth about its use emerges, let us find out what Ostarine is and how it actually helps athletes boost their performance. 

What is Ostarine, and how does it work?

Ostarine is a drug that falls under the category of SARM (selective androgen receptor modulator), and the research name for Ostarine is MK-2866. It is a performance-enhancing substance used by athletes throughout the world. The results of using Ostarine often surprise athletes, tempting them to use it. Ostarine is a performance-enhancing drug that researchers are still working on and finding its benefits and side effects. 

Ostarine attaches to the androgen receptor proteins of your body and allies with them, allowing your muscles to grow at a significantly faster rate. People often use Ostarine for various reasons other than enhancing their performance, such as involuntary weight loss due to illness or breast cancer. As Ostarine falls under the SARM category, people usually think of SARMs as a better choice than ste****s. Just because SARMs have no negative effect on the non-skeletal muscle tissues of your body.

The reason for the development of Ostarine

SARMs limit the effect of the androgenic activity on the muscle tissues, resulting in lean body mass. This effect of SARMs makes Ostarine one of the most popular muscle enhancement drugs in the industry, making it an ideal choice for athletes. SARMs were specifically designed to treat patients suffering from health complications such as AIDS or cancer and experiencing cachexia or wasting syndrome. However, Ostarine has made quite a name for itself in the bodybuilding industry due to its potential effect on building muscles. Ostarine has many benefits that make it an ideal choice for athletes. 

Benefits of using MK 2866

Ostarine rapidly builds muscle mass and increases your muscle strength. It helps you shed body fat at a much faster rate when compared to other PEDs. MK 2866 also promotes muscle growth at an exceptional level. Like any other anabolic drug, Ostarine improves your testosterone level. Apart from being helpful in bodybuilding, Ostarine is also used in the pharmaceutical world. It has some astonishing benefits and has proven very effective for people suffering from cancer.

Ostarine improves your lean body mass exceptionally, making it perfect for people with conditions like cachexia, and auto-immune diseases. If a person is facing symptoms or has been diagnosed with sarcopenia and age-related muscle loss problems, ostarine shows significant results in curing them.

Ostarine is also used for treating inherited muscle loss or weakness disorders, also known as dystrophy. A few pieces of evidence highlighted that it also helps in curing breast cancer and urinary inconsistency and can be effective if one is suffering from loss of bladder control. However, Ostarine is a drug that researchers are still working on, and there’s still much more to find out about it. To achieve proper benefits, one needs to consume ostarine in a heavy dosage. Let’s take a look at the proper dosage of ostarine.

Daily dosage and cycle of Ostarine

The dosage of MK 2866 depends on various factors, as there is no guideline from the FDA. The dosage depends on factors like your health conditions, age, and any other complications you have. The safe dosage is considered to be 15 to 25 milligrams per day for men. On the other hand, for women, it is 5 to 10 milligrams. That being said, let’s take a look at the dosage bodybuilders commonly take.

For a beginner, reports suggest taking 5 mg of MK 2866 per day. Intermediates can aim for 10 mg/day, and advanced users can take up to 20 mg/day to witness potential results. Even using a small dosage of Ostarine as a beginner, you’ll see an increase in your lean body mass and a loss in excess body fat in a few months. If you want to start a cycle, you can do a 2–3-month cycle while keeping the dosage fixed at 5 mg/day. Just like most SARMs, Ostarine also requires post-cycle therapy to be on the safer side.

Side effects faced after the use of MK 2866

If you’re thinking of going on a cycle, here are some factors you might want to consider. Despite being very beneficial, Ostarine is a banned substance by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and it also has some severe side effects on your body. Ostarine users may experience mild liver damage, and users’ cholesterol levels might not stay the same. In some cases, it may also lead to heart attacks. 

Ostarine can also mess up one’s hormonal levels, and testosterone levels in particular. This may lead to symptoms like fatigue and hair loss in a few cases. Some of the basic side effects one might face are oily skin, acne, hot flashes, and nausea.

While MK 2866 might provide you with noticeable results in your body quickly, there are various severe side effects to its usage. Ostarine is still an experimental drug, and the FDA still hasn’t approved it for human consumption. So, until the next round of VADA results come to the fore, the chances of these allegations being put to bed seem slim.
