SARMs vs. Steroids: The Safer Choice in 2025?

 

Key Differences Between SARMs and Steroids

• SARMs: Selectively bind to androgen receptors in muscle and bone

• Steroids: Affect multiple systems (liver, prostate, cardiovascular)

Side Effects Comparison

Steroids carry risks of liver damage, gyno, hair loss, and HPTA shutdown. SARMs are more targeted, but can still affect testosterone levels.

Are SARMs Legal in Canada?

Only for research use. Steroids are controlled substances under Canadian law. Always ensure compliance when purchasing.

Final Verdict

SARMs like RAD-140 and MK-2866 offer a milder and legal alternative to steroids for muscle growth and fat loss — if used responsibly for research purposes.
