S23, also designated S-23, is a non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) of the aryl-propionamide class, developed in academic research at the University of Tennessee. This listing is a research-grade reference compound supplied in powder form for in vitro and laboratory investigation. Identity and purity are third-party verified and documented by a downloadable Certificate of Analysis.
Identity and purity are independently confirmed by MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ), a US DEA Schedule III licensed analytical facility (License RP0584676), using HPLC purity analysis and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards to support research reproducibility.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maximize shelf life. Supplied in a UV-resistant foil pouch to minimize photodegradation.
Independent analysis has repeatedly found that materials sold online as SARMs are frequently mislabeled or adulterated. A 2017 JAMA investigation that chemically analyzed products marketed as SARMs found that only a minority accurately matched their labeled contents, and a substantial share contained unapproved or entirely different substances.[5] Third-party testing is the control that distinguishes a documented reference compound from an unverified one.
S23 was developed and characterized by the University of Tennessee research group responsible for several early aryl-propionamide SARMs.[4] Its preclinical characterization in rats evaluated high-affinity androgen receptor binding, tissue selectivity, and its potential as a component of hormonal male contraception, including the reversibility of its effects on spermatogenesis.[1] Later rat studies examined it in models of glucocorticoid- and hypogonadism-induced muscle atrophy[2] and of sexual motivation in ovariectomized female rats.[3] S23 has not been evaluated in published human clinical trials, and its safety profile in humans is unknown.
