    does sarms cause acne?

    Can't find a definitive answer on whether SARMS, specifically ostarine and LGD cause acne eg. other sides? Considering it doesn't convert to DHT or estrogen it shouldn't give these sides?

    I can tell you from experience, that I've never had acne what so ever on either compound.

    On paper they are not supposed to produce either of those sides, just a mild suppression of T/LH (ostarine) or a medium to high suppression on LGD. However, my experience with Ostarine is that it triggered hair loss on me. Then again, there is no way to know if what I got was real Ostarine or something like Proviron (or maybe ostarine laced with proviron), underground labs have this kind of inevitable uncertainty. Based on the studies I have read on Ostarine, side effects should be a slight suppression of the HPTA (or harder suppression if high doses are used), but the problem of knowing with certainty whether you're getting real ostarine still remains.

    Anything you take that can effect hormone levels can cause changes in things related to hormones thus acne, aggression and so on.

    Anyone notice water retention when running LGD and osta? I feel like I'm holding a tonn, either that or I'm getting fat..
    Looking and feeling soft/fluffy. Putting on weight pretty quick.
    I'm eating well too.

    Yes. First week of running lgd and ostarine I gained 4lbs lol and then the second month I added yk and ibutamoren and I gained even more water weight. Had to drop ibutamoren.

    Yeah I was only going to run 10mg.

    Is there anything you can run alongside to reduce water?

    I'm not sure. I know most people say it's all in your diet but honestly I think it's more of the type of person you are. Because I eat mostly clean and I sill gained a lot of water weight on ibutamoren and was always bloated and so was another guy that was on a low sodium diet. And then there's people that barely got bloated or didn't get bloated at all.

    Drop your sodium intake. Maybe take a little arimdex.

    I'm already on it because my nipples were feeling weird man. Was doing .25mg EOD, thinking of just doing .50mg E3D though.

    Any suggestions to this idea?

    You can try 0.5mg every day for a few days.

    Won't that kill my gains? I'm happy to have a bit of bloat if it means I'm gaining.

    Acne is actually worse for those who have oily skin.

    About the acne, I think that it depends on the people using it.

    I mean you will never know how your body will react to specific hormones, you have to try it. Whatever the thing you are using it, I mean that's why birth control with hormones in them have different effects on different people.

    No, they do not cause anything wrong if taken in moderation.

    More often than we think, acne breakouts are usually caused by hormonal changes. With that said, I think it's a common side effect.
