Dual Certificate of Analysis

Two independent analytical certifications are issued for every PureRawz LGD-4033 lot — each uniquely tied to your vial's lot number, not a shared batch document.

COA 01

HPLC Purity Certificate

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV detection is the industry benchmark for quantifying SARM purity. PureRawz HPLC analysis generates a full chromatogram with retention time confirmation and peak purity assessment against certified reference standards — all performed on your specific production lot, not a population representative.

  • Purity ≥99% guaranteed on every lot — a minimum floor, not an average
  • Full chromatogram retrievable via /verify for your exact lot number — no form submission required
  • Compound identity confirmed by retention time against certified LGD-4033 reference
  • MedChemExpress: 99.93% listed, but QC report requires a contact form request — no instant public access
✗ Behemothlabz capsule page: no stated purity % · COA images shown but no per-lot public portal

COA 02

LAL Endotoxin Certificate

The Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay is the FDA-recognized standard for detecting bacterial lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) contamination. HPLC cannot detect endotoxins under any conditions. A compound can achieve 99.93% HPLC purity and still contain nanogram-level LPS that activates TLR4, drives NF-κB nuclear translocation, and floods assay media with IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β — completely invalidating AR pathway, anabolic, anti-apoptotic, and bone metabolism research.

  • LAL endotoxin result expressed in EU/ml — per-lot report included with every PureRawz order
  • Critical for any cell-based AR agonism, caspase, apoptosis, or bone microstructure study
  • Suitable for IRB, IACUC, and institutional biosafety committee documentation
  • Prevents TLR4-driven false-positive cytokine and inflammatory pathway confounds
✗ MedChemExpress: no LAL endotoxin data on product page · ✗ Behemothlabz: no endotoxin certificate listed

Mechanism of Action

LGD-4033 is the highest-affinity non-steroidal SARM characterized to date (AR Ki ≈ 1 nM). Six primary research-documented pharmacological pathways are described below.

01

Ultra-High Affinity AR Agonism (Ki ≈ 1 nM)

LGD-4033 binds the androgen receptor with a Ki of approximately 1 nM — an order of magnitude more potent than most non-steroidal SARMs including Ostarine (Ki 3.8 nM) and RAD-140 (Ki 7 nM). This exceptional AR affinity translates to anabolic efficacy at very low doses (0.1–1 mg/kg) in preclinical muscle and bone models, making it a primary reference compound for SARM potency benchmark studies.

↗ PubMed: Basaria S et al., 2013 (PMID 24171373)

02

Selective Muscle and Bone AR Activation

LGD-4033 produces potent agonist activity at the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and bone tissue while demonstrating reduced androgenic activity in reproductive organs compared to testosterone. This tissue selectivity is mechanistically driven by differential co-activator recruitment at the AR ligand-binding domain upon LGD-4033 versus DHT binding, resulting in distinct nuclear transcriptional programmes.

↗ PubMed: Basaria S et al., 2013 (PMID 24171373)

03

PI3K/Akt/mTOR Anabolic Signalling

AR activation by LGD-4033 in skeletal myocytes initiates the PI3K → Akt → mTOR axis, driving phosphorylation of S6K1 and inactivation of 4E-BP1 to promote cap-dependent translation of myofibrillar proteins. Additionally, LGD-4033 has been shown to inhibit muscle breakdown by suppressing the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway and reducing oxidative stress biomarkers in cisplatin-induced toxicity models.

↗ PubMed: Ustun Z et al., 2025 (PMID 37985661)

04

Bone Tissue Protection and Microstructure

In ovariectomized and orchidectomized rodent models, LGD-4033 has demonstrated dose-dependent improvements in bone mineral density and trabecular microstructure. AR agonism in osteoblasts promotes Runx2 expression, collagen deposition, and bone matrix mineralization, while concurrently modulating OPG/RANKL ratios to suppress osteoclast-mediated resorption — establishing LGD-4033 as a key research model for SARM-mediated osteoporosis intervention studies.

↗ PubMed: Hoffmann DB et al., 2023 (PMID 37592142)

05

Anti-Apoptotic and Anti-Oxidant Pathways

LGD-4033 AR agonism has been shown to activate anti-apoptotic signalling by upregulating Bcl-2 and downregulating caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation in muscle cell toxicity models. Concurrently, LGD-4033 reduces oxidative stress markers including malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), while upregulating antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD) — effects studied in cisplatin-induced myotoxicity research paradigms.

↗ PubMed: Ustun Z et al., 2025 (PMID 37985661)

06

HPG Axis Dose-Dependent Suppression

In a Phase I clinical pharmacokinetics study, LGD-4033 produced dose-dependent suppression of total testosterone, SHBG, FSH, and LH through hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis negative feedback — effects that were fully reversible following compound discontinuation. This well-characterized HPG suppression profile makes LGD-4033 a reference compound for studying dose-dependent gonadotropin feedback kinetics and reversibility in androgen-dependent endocrine research models.

LGD-4033 Research FAQ

Answers to the most common questions researchers ask before purchasing LGD-4033 (Ligandrol) from PureRawz.

No. LGD-4033 (Ligandrol) from PureRawz is sold strictly for in vitro and in vivo laboratory research purposes only. It is not approved by the FDA for human consumption, veterinary use, or therapeutic application. All sales are restricted to qualified researchers and research institutions. Purchasers are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable institutional and legal regulations.

MedChemExpress lists their LGD-4033 (Cat. HY-13981) at 99.93% purity but requires a contact form submission to receive the QC report — no instant public access exists. No LAL endotoxin data appears on their product page. Behemothlabz provides COA images on their capsule page but does not state a specific purity percentage on the product listing itself, and no LAL endotoxin certificate is provided. PureRawz guarantees ≥99% HPLC purity with a dual COA — both HPLC and LAL endotoxin — retrievable instantly by unique lot number at /verify with no form required.

A dual COA combines HPLC purity verification with an independent LAL endotoxin test certificate. HPLC cannot detect bacterial lipopolysaccharides. Even nanogram-level LPS activates TLR4 → NF-κB signalling, triggering IL-6, TNF-α, caspase activation, and ROS production — completely confounding LGD-4033 anti-apoptotic, anabolic, or bone metabolism studies. Neither MedChemExpress nor Behemothlabz publish LAL endotoxin data on their LGD-4033 pages, leaving researchers unable to rule out endotoxin as a confounding variable.

Every PureRawz LGD-4033 vial carries a unique lot number (e.g., PRZ-LGD4033-2025-0088) printed on the label. Researchers enter this number at officialpurerawz.us/verify to instantly retrieve the HPLC chromatogram, LAL endotoxin EU/ml result, manufacturing date, and third-party testing lab reference for that specific lot — with no form submission required. No competitor currently provides this level of real-time, public, per-lot dual COA access for LGD-4033.

PureRawz dispatches all USA domestic LGD-4033 orders within 1 business day. All product is manufactured and shipped from within the United States. MedChemExpress is China-headquartered with US warehouse stock subject to availability. Behemothlabz ships domestically with 24–48 hour processing time. PureRawz matches domestic dispatch speed while adding instant lot-verified dual COA access that no capsule or liquid competitor currently provides. All shipments include tracking information.

Store LGD-4033 as a crystalline solid at –20°C in a sealed, desiccated container protected from light and moisture for up to 3 years. Upon reconstitution into DMSO stock solutions (up to ~10 mg/ml), aliquot immediately into single-use volumes and store at –20°C for up to 1 month, or at –80°C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted solutions. Degraded compound from improper storage can produce artefactual results in dose-response studies.

LGD-4033 is practically insoluble in water (<0.1 mg/ml) and requires organic solvents for stock preparation. Recommended protocol: dissolve in DMSO to ~10 mg/ml with sonication if needed, then dilute serially into aqueous cell culture medium ensuring final DMSO is ≤0.1% v/v to prevent vehicle cytotoxicity. For in vivo: use 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline vehicle to achieve ~0.5–1 mg/ml working concentrations. Always include a vehicle-matched control for every treatment group.
