Andarine Overview
Andarine, or S-4, is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) not approved by the FDA for human consumption or inclusion in US dietary supplements. It selectively binds to the androgen receptor without reacting with other nuclear hormone receptors, distinguishing it from steroidal androgens. In animal studies, Andarine has shown improvements in muscle mass, strength, and bone density by stimulating osteoblast cell production. It has weak androgenic effects on other androgen-sensitive tissues like the prostate and seminal vesicles, and minimal impact on luteinizing hormone (LH) or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels compared to testosterone.
Telotristat Etiprate Overview
-
Telotristat is used in combination with another medication (a somatostatin analog [SSA] such as lanreotide, octreotide, pasinreotide) to control diarrhea caused by carcinoid tumors (slow-growing tumors that release natural substances that can cause symptoms like diarrhea) in patients with diarrhea not controlled by a somatostatin analog alone. Telotristat is in a class of medications called antidiarrheal agents. It works by blocking the formation of a certain natural substance in the body that is released by the carcinoid tumors and causes diarrhea.
