One notable problem with purchasing items online, particularly drugs, is that you never know if what you’re buying is the real deal. As a research study recently showed, at least one Web site is actually selling one of the original SARMs, known as S4.1 The author purchased two bottles of S4 from a Web-based company that declared its product to be “99 percent pure.” The shipping box said it contained a mixture of green tea extracts and skin moisturizer. Analysis proved that the bottles did contain actual S4—plus 10 percent impurities, suggesting a crude “home brew” rather than a pharmaceutical-grade drug.

By the way, lucky for the authors they got what they ordered. A visit to the S4 Web site revealed no phone numbers or company address, but there was a statement that no product returns would be accepted. Add the 99-percent-pure lie, and you’ve got to wonder about credibility. Personally, I don’t understand why anyone would send money to an Internet-based company that lists zero contact information. You have no idea where it’s located. If a marketer like that decides to keep your money and close down, you have no recourse. Such sites are frequently closed down for legal reasons, such as selling unauthorized or experimental drugs, but the net effect is the same if you’re stupid enough to send cash to an unidentified and unknown party. You may get the product you sent for, or you may get nothing.

Even if you don’t consider the odds of being ripped off by one of these companies, the fact is that there’s no extensive database of effectiveness or long-term safety of SARMs. The same was true for many of the discarded steroids sold as pro-hormones or so-called designer steroids. In the case of pro-hormones, the medical literature shows that several users developed problems ranging from a rapid-growth type of prostate cancer to severe liver issues.

Only time will tell if the human guinea pigs now experimenting with Internet-acquired SARMs are risking their health. While the newer generation of SARMs may fulfill their anabolic potential or even become useful therapeutic drugs, the ones being sold now are, so to speak, not ready for prime time.
