AC 262, also known as AC-262536 and Accadrine, is one of the newer non-steroidal SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators) currently on the market. Acadia Industries developed it initially as a potential treatment for prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
In the fitness industry, it is used as a means to promote muscle gain and fat loss. It has gained a lot of popularity amongst bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts alike.
How does AC-262 work?
AC262 SARMS binds to androgen receptors. This particular binding leads to the promotion of anabolic processes, triggering an increase in muscle mass and bone strengthening.
Animal studies have shown that AC 262 produces a maximal effect of around 66% of the anabolic action of testosterone, but only around 27% of its potency as an androgen.
Benefits of AC 262
SARMs are still pretty recent, in terms of medical developments, with minimal human testing done on them at this point. However, they are already in use to some degree, and as such, some benefits have been observed. Here, we’re going to look at some of those benefits, particularly in comparison to steroids, to which they are so often compared:
- Enhancing muscle growth: Accadrine is popular among bodybuilders for its ability to increase lean muscle mass and strength. Users report noticeable gains in muscle size and enhanced performance, which makes it beneficial for treating muscle-wasting conditions.
- Improving bone health: Accadrine is noted for promoting bone density, potentially reducing the risk of fractures and injuries, and may help combat conditions like osteoporosis.
- Improving fat loss: While SARMs are not primarily intended for fat loss, the increased metabolic activity caused by AC-262 may assist users in reducing their overall body fat.
- Aiding in recovery: In addition to promoting muscle growth, AC-262 may also enhance muscle recovery, allowing users to train more frequently and intensely without experiencing significant muscle soreness afterward.
