Dragon Pharma's GW 501516, also known as Cardarine, is a potent PPARδ receptor agonist presented in 20 mg tablets. Originally developed for cardiovascular and metabolic research, GW 501516 has gained recognition in performance studies for its ability to enhance fat oxidation, improve lipid profiles, and support endurance at the mitochondrial level. This product includes 100 tablets designed for oral research protocols only.
Mechanism of Action
GW 501516 activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ), a nuclear hormone receptor involved in fatty acid metabolism and energy regulation. Upon activation, it promotes the expression of genes responsible for glucose uptake, mitochondrial biogenesis, and fatty acid β-oxidation, primarily in skeletal muscle and liver tissue.
In preclinical research, Cardarine has been shown to increase endurance, reduce inflammation, and improve HDL cholesterol levels while lowering triglycerides. It has also demonstrated neuroprotective properties, making it relevant in nootropic and metabolic syndrome models. It does not directly influence hormone levels, offering a non-androgenic pathway to performance-related effects.
Key Features & Benefits
- Supports Fat Oxidation: Stimulates mitochondrial function and lipolysis, promoting improved energy usage from fat stores.
- Enhances Endurance: Increases exercise capacity in rodent and primate research models through PPARδ-driven energy efficiency.
- Non-Hormonal Compound: Does not interfere with testosterone or estrogen levels, avoiding androgenic side effects.
- Metabolic Health Research: Studied for its role in lipid profile improvement and insulin sensitivity.
- Tablet Formulation: Convenient for oral delivery in controlled lab environments with consistent 20 mg dosage.

Frequently Asked Questions
GW 501516 is studied for its effects on endurance, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial activity, and fat oxidation.
No, Cardarine is not a steroid or SARM. It is a PPARδ agonist that modulates gene expression without altering hormone levels.
In preclinical studies, GW 501516 significantly enhanced exercise capacity, making it a popular subject in endurance-related research.
Long-term human studies are lacking. It is banned by WADA due to performance enhancement and is not approved for therapeutic use.
