In the USA today, SARMs are legal for research use. So, if you purchase them from a website that says it’s for research use only, that means they are selling the SARMs fairly legal OTC. While the FDA has sent some warnings to SARM companies, generally, there is no regulation pertaining to SARMs in 2023 at the time of the update we did on this book. We don’t foresee SARMS being banned or scheduled in the current situation. They will likely stay in the ‘research’ lane for the next 3-5 years.

Worldwide, the legal classification of SARMs varies by country.

United States

United Kingdom

Prescription Status: In the UK, SARMs can be legally purchased and used but not sold or supplied without a prescription.

Canada

Australia

Strict Regulation: SARMs are regulated under Schedule 4 of the Therapeutic Goods Administration, meaning they require a prescription.

European Union

Varying Regulations: In the EU, different member states have divergent regulations regarding SARMs, though they generally remain unauthorized for human consumption. However, in many places, it is legal for research use.

Sports Anti-Doping Agencies

Prohibition in Sports: Organizations like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have enlisted SARMs on their prohibited list. Athletes subject to anti-doping rules are prohibited from using them both in and out of competition.
