Pros​

• Has a potency similar to testosterone, mg for mg has a great potency.
• Has a half-life of 60 hours (contrary to the 14 that are often said).
• Has a high affinity for androgen receptors, increasing the oxidation of fatty acids.
• Does not aromatize or convert to DHT therefore it has no androgenic capacity.
• Raises transaminases much less than the rest of the less potent SARMS.
• Basal metabolic rate increases.
• Has a neuroprotective effect (increases the feeling of well-being and libido).

Cons​

• By increasing the dose it loses the selectivity characteristic of SARMS.
• The lipid profile worsens.
