Description
Cardarine Powder for Laboratory Research
Cardarine powder (GW-501516) is supplied as 2 g of raw research material for laboratory protocols that require a non-liquid format. The current batch is independently tested to 99.57% purity, with identity and purity documentation available on the public certificate of analysis.
GW-501516 is a synthetic PPARδ agonist and metabolic modulator. Although it is often catalogued alongside SARMs, it is not a selective androgen receptor modulator and does not bind the androgen receptor. This product is supplied exclusively for laboratory research and is not for human or animal consumption.

Cardarine Mechanism of Action
Developed in the early 1990s and also recognized under alternative names such as GW-1516 and GSK-516, Cardarine is reputed for various experimental effects. Among these are:
- Promotion of fatty acid oxidation and fat loss
- Reduction of LDL cholesterol (termed “bad cholesterol”)
- Elevation of HDL cholesterol (known as “good cholesterol”)
- Enhancement of endurance
- Alleviation of inflammation
- Mitigation of insulin resistance and amelioration of glucose tolerance
However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not validated these benefits of GW-501516, and the compound should only be used for research purposes.
Studies Involving Cardarine
While evidence supporting the positive effects of GW-501516 in mammals is lacking, several animal-based studies have been conducted, shedding light on Cardarine’s potential to optimize certain physiological functions:
- A study conducted on mice demonstrated that GW-501516 encourages fatty acid oxidation and fat burning within skeletal muscle tissue, in addition to alleviating metabolic syndrome.
- Another research piece revealed that the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors can significantly boost running endurance in Kunming mice.
- A further study involving mice revealed that PPARs can enhance exercise endurance by inhibiting glucose exhaustion, thus avoiding the phenomenon commonly referred to as “hitting the wall”.

Abuse Warning
Cardarine is an investigational compound still awaiting FDA approval and is not a dietary supplement. At Sports Technology Labs, we are chemical suppliers, not medical doctors, and our expertise is sourcing and quality control. Sports Technology Labs does not encourage or condone consumer use of SARMs products; they are for research purposes only.
SARMs should only be used under the supervision and direction of a medical doctor or designated research authority. We strongly discourage the use of SARMs for performance enhancement in sports and bodybuilding, and warn against “bro science” and peer consensus when making decisions about health.
