One entry, one page, twelve fields. This is RAD‑140, in full.

How to read an entry. Twelve fields, always in the same order.

Every section opens with what is in it, and what it is for.

Eleven questions the book gets, answered inside it.

The A to Z index. Every name, alias and misspelling, linked.

The distribution

The top rung is empty, and it stays empty for the whole book.

Every entry carries one of five labels, and the label is not an opinion. It is the decision a medicines regulator has actually made, or the absence of one. The first label, approved for this, is used zero times in 23 entries. Seven have a live or unresolved human programme and no approval anywhere. Three were taken into people and then dropped by the company that owned them. Eleven have nothing but rodents and cell cultures. Two have nothing published at all, in any species, and are sold anyway.

Every entry, the same shape

12 fields, in the same order,
on all 23 entries.

You learn the layout once, then read by position. The status at the top and the bottom line at the foot answer it in ten seconds. Everything between them is the working.

What it is
What class of molecule, who made it, and whether it is a SARM at all. Seven are not.
What it is sold for
The claim in the sellers’ own words, reported and not endorsed.
The status
The badge, then one sentence on why that badge and not the one above it.
What the research shows
Trials counted, not summarised, and always whether strength was measured or only tissue.
The gap
One sentence. The distance between what is sold and what was shown.
What is not known
Separates studied and found safe from never studied. Almost always the second.
Known harms
Documented effects, case reports, regulator warnings. Anecdote is labelled as anecdote.
What is in the bottle
What analysis of real products found. You are not buying the compound in the studies.
How it is sold to you
The mechanism of the sale. This is the field you keep after you close the book.
Banned in sport
The clause, quoted, and whether the compound is named. Route makes no difference.
Also sold as
Every alias and misspelling, including the ones sellers get wrong.
Bottom line
One sentence at the foot. What you now understand, never what to do.

The spine of the book

Five statuses

Every entry gets exactly one. Once you know what the five mean, you can read any compound anyone tries to sell you, including the ones that are not in this book.

  1. Approved for this. A regulator approved it for the claim it is sold on. Used zero times.
  2. Human trials, no approval. Given to people in a published trial. Approved nowhere.
  3. Development abandoned. Taken into people, then dropped by the company that owned it.
  4. Animal data only. Never given to a person in any published study.
  5. No published data. Nothing published in any species. Sold anyway.

Built to look things up in

A reference is only worth anything if you can find the page in ten seconds. Five separate ways in.

  • Contents, colour‑coded. All 23 on one page, with the status visible before you open anything.
  • All of them at a glance. One table at the back: what each one acts on, whether anybody has published a study of it in a person, and how the anti‑doping list catches it.
  • Banned in sport. The clause quoted from the 2027 Prohibited List, and whether the compound is named in it. Eleven are.
  • A to Z index. Every name, alias, code name and misspelling, linked, because people search by the word on the bottle.
  • Bookmarked throughout, so a phone or an e‑reader jumps straight to the entry.

Before you buy

Who this is for, and who it is not for.

Buy it if

  • Someone has offered to sell you a SARM and you want to know what is actually established about it
  • You want to know which of these anybody has published a study of in a person, and which they have not
  • You compete in a tested sport and need the anti‑doping status in writing
  • You are tired of every claim online having a vendor attached to it
  • You want one reference that covers the whole shelf in one place

Do not buy it if

  • You want doses, protocols or cycles. There is not one in the book, on purpose.
  • You want to know where to buy any of these. No source is named.
  • You want to be told what to take. This book reports, it does not prescribe.
  • You want a stack built for you. That is not what a reference is.
  • You are looking for a brand recommendation. No product is named as good.

What this is not

Educational, not medical advice. It does not tell you what to take, and it carries no dose, no route as an instruction, no protocol, no cycle and no source. Nothing here diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents anything, and nothing here replaces a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist, particularly if you take prescription medication.

Every status describes the published record at the time of writing. Evidence moves and regulators change their minds. Where the record is thin, the entry says it is thin and says what was searched to establish that, rather than hiding it behind a confident sentence.

Questions

The ones worth asking.

Does it tell me how to take any of these?

No, and that is deliberate. There is no dose, no protocol, no cycle and no source anywhere in the book. It tells you what a thing is, what is established about it, and what a regulator has decided. What you do with that is between you and a doctor.

Are you paid by anyone selling these?

No. Nobody paid for placement, no entry is sponsored, and there is not a single affiliate link in the book or on this page. The book has nothing to sell you except itself, which is the only reason its statuses are worth reading.

What exactly do I get?

One PDF, 57 pages, bookmarked by section, with every name in the A to Z index linked to its entry. It reads on a phone, a tablet, a laptop and most e‑readers. The download arrives immediately after checkout.

Is 23 everything?

It is everything sold as a SARM to consumers at any scale, including the compounds that reached human trials and were never sold at all, because those are the evidence the market borrows when it wants to sound serious. Seven entries are not selective androgen receptor modulators in the first place, and they are in because they are sold under the same word to the same person.

Fifty‑seven pages for 23 compounds. Is that thin?

It is the honest length. Fourteen of these have no published study in a person at all, and padding those entries with speculation would be the opposite of what the book is for. The entries that have a record get the room that record needs, and the short ones are short because the shortness is the finding. There is no filler in it.

How do I know the statuses are right?

Every status points at a specific decision: an approval, a refusal, a trial registry record, a warning letter, or the documented absence of any of those. Where a number appears, it comes from a named trial. The book carries a page telling you how to check it yourself. If you find an error, report it in the comments of any video on the channel and it will be checked.

What if I do not like it?

Seven days, no questions, refund through Gumroad. You keep the file, because taking it back is not technically possible and pretending otherwise would be theatre.

Who wrote it?

The same person behind A Whey to Explain on YouTube, where the same evidence gets explained with worse jokes and better animation.

None of the 23 is approved anywhere for what it is sold for.

The book tells you what each one actually is, who tested it, what they measured, and what the published record says. Including the fourteen with no published human study of any kind.
