## How Common Are Bunk or Fake SARMs? Short answer: Way too common. If you're buying SARMs from random websites or social media ads, expect to get burned. Here's what you need to know: - Quality Control Issues: Multiple studies (like JAMA 2017) found that only about 50% of SARMs sold online actually contain what they claim in the listed dosage. - Hidden Ingredients: Around 25% have unlisted ingredients—think prohormones, steroids, or sometimes nothing at all. - No Active Ingredients: Some products are just flavored carrier oil with zero active ingredients. ### What Goes Wrong? - No GMP or Regulatory Oversight: Many vendors operate without any quality control. - Batch Testing: A lot don’t even test their products. - Supplier Issues: Even the “reputable” brands can switch suppliers, leading to sudden drops in quality. Bottom line: If you're not verifying with third-party lab tests (HPLC, LC-MS), you're rolling the dice. And beware—some vendors show fake or outdated Certificates of Analysis (COAs).
