How to Tell if SARMs are Real or Bunk? Here's a quick checklist to help you sniff out the fake stuff: 1. Third-Party Lab Tests (COAs) Legit vendors always provide recent, batch-specific Certificates of Analysis from reputable labs (think Janoshik, Colmaric, Empirical, etc.). They should test for both purity and identity. If they just say "white powder," run! 2. Dosing Feedback/Logs Real SARMs have predictable effects. For instance, MK-677 typically causes water retention within days, and RAD140 should suppress testosterone in about 2–3 weeks. If you don't notice any side effects or changes in your lifts, it's likely bunk. 3. Bloodwork Doesn't Lie Get baseline and mid-cycle test panels. Look for suppressed LH/FSH and reduced total testosterone (TT). If 20mg of LGD-4033 isn't wrecking your natural test levels by week 3–4, it's trash. 4. Solubility & Taste (for Liquid SARMs) Genuine liquid SARMs usually taste bitter and burn (thanks to solvents like PEG400 or ethanol). If it tastes like water or candy syrup, be suspicious. 5. Source Reputation Check forums, not ads. Look for logs and vendor reviews on places like r/SARMs, AM, or PEDs.chat. Bunk vendors get exposed quickly. 6. Price Too Good = Bunk or Underdosed If it's way cheaper than the market average, you're probably getting powdered rice instead of SARMs. Stay sharp and do your research!
