HelloPharmacist Scorecard of RAD 140 by Cratus Labs

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.

This capsule contains one active ingredient: RAD 140 (testolone), an experimental compound. The other ingredients are inactive: rice flour, magnesium stearate, and gelatin — standard capsule 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 Testolone product and its label doesn't state a use — see Testolone'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 don't have reliable evidence to rate RAD 140 for any of the purposes it's marketed for — athletic performance, osteoporosis, muscle strength, breast cancer, or cachexia (muscle wasting). The evidence base is too thin.

What we do know is that it's an unapproved, unstudied experimental drug with serious known harms.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Testolone

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.

RAD 140 is possibly unsafe and carries serious risks you should know about. Common side effects include decreased appetite, dehydration, elevated liver enzymes, vomiting, and weight loss.

Rarer but serious effects are heart muscle inflammation (acute myocarditis), abnormal blood phosphate levels, and liver injury. One case report documented a 32-year-old who developed acute myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — after using testolone for athletic performance, requiring hospitalization and multiple medications including blood thinners.

The drug is hormonally active and has no safety data in pregnancy or breastfeeding — the facts advise against use in both. Altogether, the safety notes call it an unapproved experimental drug that should not be used.

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 — Testolone.
  • 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 RAD 140, check with your pharmacist if you take any hepatotoxic drugs — medications that stress the liver. RAD 140 itself harms liver function, and combining it with other liver-toxic drugs could increase that risk.

No interactions are documented for the remaining drug types we could check, but that absence does not guarantee safety.

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.

This is an unapproved experimental compound with documented serious risks — heart inflammation, liver injury, and unsafe effects in pregnancy and breastfeeding. We can't confirm it works for anything it's marketed for.

If you're considering it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer, approved alternatives for your actual health goal.

Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use might have additive hepatotoxic effects.
In a case report, a 52-year-old male was diagnosed with liver injury thought to be related to the use of products containing testolone. Also, elevated liver enzymes were commonly reported in a dose escalation study of testolone.

RAD 140 by Cratus Labs: Common Questions

Does RAD 140 by Cratus Labs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, RAD 140 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?
RAD 140 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.
Does RAD 140 actually build muscle or improve athletic performance?
The evidence isn't established in our data. We don't have reliable evidence to rate it for athletic performance or muscle strength. That's one reason it remains unapproved.
What are the most common side effects?
Decreased appetite, dehydration, elevated liver enzymes, vomiting, and weight loss. These occurred in study participants and users. Serious but rare effects include heart muscle inflammation and liver injury.
Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. RAD 140 is hormonally active with no safety data in pregnancy — the data advises against it. There's no safety information for breastfeeding either, so you should avoid it completely in both cases.
What's the liver injury risk I've heard about?
A case report documented liver injury in a 52-year-old using testolone products, and elevated liver enzymes were common in a dose-escalation study. Your liver processes this drug, and damage is a documented risk — especially if you also take other medications that stress the liver.
Is RAD 140 approved by the FDA?
No. It's an unapproved experimental drug. The FDA has warned about it, and the data calls it a serious-risk compound that should not be used.
