HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Legend by Olympus UK

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

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.

Legend contains one active ingredient: ligandrol (LGD-4033), a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM)—a type of investigational compound designed to affect muscle and bone in targeted ways. The product also contains inactive ingredients: rice flour, magnesium stearate, and gelatin (the capsule material).

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle building and athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Muscle strength, Muscular dystrophy, Sarcopenia, Cachexia, body composition — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Ligandrol is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Ligandrol is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cachexia, Muscle strength, Muscular dystrophy, Sarcopenia.

The evidence for ligandrol's effectiveness is not established in the data we hold. Ratings for athletic performance, muscle strength, cachexia (severe muscle wasting), muscular dystrophy, and breast cancer all fall into insufficient reliable evidence—meaning there isn't enough rigorous research to say whether it works for any of these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ligandrol

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.

Ligandrol carries serious safety concerns. The FDA has warned that supplements containing SARMs like this one have been linked to liver toxicity, and there are documented cases of liver injury in people who used ligandrol alone—including a case of significant liver damage after just 2 weeks at 10 mg daily.

Additionally, ligandrol has been shown to lower HDL cholesterol (the 'good' kind) even at small doses. Ligandrol is also an unapproved investigational drug, not a legal dietary supplement, and the safety data advises against use in pregnancy and lactation; there is concern it could harm a developing baby or pass into breast milk.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Ligandrol.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 371 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist about any medications or supplements you're on that are processed by or can affect the liver. The most serious documented interaction is Moderate severity: ligandrol plus hepatotoxic drugs (liver-toxic medications) might compound liver damage.

Given the FDA warning and case reports of liver injury tied to ligandrol alone, any medication that stresses the liver deserves a careful review of the combination.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Ligandrol is an unapproved investigational compound with documented risks of liver injury and a warning from the FDA. The evidence for its effectiveness is insufficient, and its safety profile—especially combined with medications that stress the liver—is a genuine concern.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering this product; they can help you understand the known risks and whether it's appropriate for your situation.

Legend by Olympus UK: Common Questions

Does Legend by Olympus UK interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Legend has a known interaction with 370 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Legend contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is ligandrol a legal supplement?
No. Ligandrol (LGD-4033) is an unapproved investigational drug, not a legal dietary supplement. The FDA has warned about SARM-containing products like this one.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against ligandrol completely in pregnancy—there is concern it could harm a developing baby. Safety is also unknown in lactation, and the drug may pass into breast milk. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safe alternatives.
Has ligandrol caused liver injury in real people?
Yes. There are documented cases of liver injury linked to ligandrol use alone, and the FDA has specifically warned that SARM-containing supplements carry liver toxicity risk. One case involved significant liver damage after just 2 weeks of use.
Does ligandrol lower cholesterol?
It can. Even at small doses (0.3–1.0 mg daily), ligandrol has been shown to decrease HDL cholesterol—the kind that protects your heart.
Is there proof that ligandrol builds muscle or improves athletic performance?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Ratings for muscle strength, athletic performance, and related conditions all fall into insufficient reliable evidence, so we can't say whether it works for these purposes.
