HelloPharmacist Scorecard of LGD4033 by Swoll Mafia

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.

Swoll Mafia LGD4033 is a single-ingredient supplement containing ligandrol, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) — a research compound designed to activate androgen receptors in muscle and bone. The capsule also includes creatine as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

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 Ligandrol product and its label doesn't state a use — see Ligandrol'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.

The evidence we hold on ligandrol does not establish reliable effectiveness for any condition we could rate. Claims about athletic performance, muscle strength, breast cancer, cachexia (severe muscle loss), and muscular dystrophy all lack sufficient reliable evidence in our data to rate.

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 is not an approved medication or a legal dietary supplement — it is an unapproved investigational drug. The FDA has warned that SARM-containing supplements, including those with ligandrol, carry real safety concerns.

Multiple case reports document liver injury linked to ligandrol use, including a case where a 32-year-old man taking 10 mg daily for just two weeks developed elevated liver markers. Ligandrol has also been shown to lower HDL cholesterol (the protective kind) at doses as low as 0.3 to 1.0 mg daily for three weeks.

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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist about any medications that stress the liver (hepatotoxic drugs) — ligandrol may add to that liver damage. If you take any prescription medications, use the interaction checker on this page to confirm your specific drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Ligandrol is an unapproved research compound, not a legal supplement, and carries documented risks of liver injury. If you're considering this product, you must talk with your doctor first — not just about drug interactions, but about whether taking an investigational substance is appropriate for you.

This isn't a decision to make on your own.

LGD4033 by Swoll Mafia: Common Questions

Does LGD4033 by Swoll Mafia interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, LGD4033 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?
LGD4033 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 is an unapproved investigational drug, not a legal dietary supplement. The FDA does not permit it in over-the-counter products.
What does the evidence say about whether ligandrol builds muscle?
The reliable evidence we have does not establish that ligandrol works for athletic performance, muscle strength, or any other condition we can rate. That doesn't mean it has no effect — it means the studies available don't meet the standard for us to confirm one.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against it completely in pregnancy, and safety is unknown in breastfeeding; the drug may pass into breast milk. Talk with your doctor if you are planning pregnancy or nursing.
What are the side effects?
Case reports link ligandrol to liver injury — sometimes severe enough to show up as elevated liver markers within weeks of starting. It also lowers HDL cholesterol, the kind your heart needs. The FDA has issued warnings about liver toxicity tied to SARM-containing supplements.
Why do I need to check my medications before taking this?
Ligandrol can stress your liver, and if your medications already do that, the combined effect could seriously harm your liver. Your doctor or pharmacist can review your specific drugs against that risk.
