Our last Showdown covered the strength compounds: S-23, YK-11 and RAD-140. This one covers the other end of the spectrum. When the research focus is fat loss, body recomposition or endurance, three compounds come up more than any others: Ostarine (MK-2866), Cardarine (GW-501516) and Stenabolic (SR9009).
Only one of them is actually a SARM. Cardarine and Stenabolic are often grouped with SARMs, but they act on completely different targets in the body. That difference is the main point of this comparison. We look at what each compound is, how it works and what the published research says. Then we compare them side by side for cutting-focused research.

Ostarine (MK-2866) — The Lean Tissue Preserver
Ostarine, also known as enobosarm, is a non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator. It was originally developed by GTx Inc.
