From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Andarine S4 contains one active ingredient: andarine (also called S-4), a selective androgen receptor modulator (a compound that binds to androgen receptors in the body). The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—rice flour, magnesium stearate, and gelatin—which serve as fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Andarine product and its label doesn't state a use — see Andarine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for andarine in our data, so we cannot tell you whether this product works for any particular purpose based on established evidence.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Andarine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Andarine is an unapproved drug with unknown human safety and is not a legal supplement. The FDA has warned that selective androgen receptor modulators like this one could potentially increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.

No thorough safety evaluations of andarine in humans have been conducted, and liver toxicity is a potential concern. This product should be avoided during pregnancy—hormone-affecting drugs pose a risk to a developing fetus.

It is also unsafe and unstudied during breastfeeding and should be avoided if you are nursing.
