Clomid (Clomiphene citrate)

Description

Stimulating testosterone production: Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that can be used in bodybuilding to increase testosterone production. It works by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, which in turn increases the release of gonadotropic hormone (LH) and folliculotropic hormone (FSH), leading to increased testosterone production.

Stimulation of the hypothalamic-nuclear axis: Clomiphene citrate acts on the hypothalamic-nuclear axis, which is key to regulating testosterone production. By stimulating this axis, Clomid helps increase testosterone production, which is important for muscle growth.

Post cycle therapy (PCT): It is often used in post cycle therapy (PCT) in bodybuilding. After completing a cycle of anabolic steroids, it can be difficult for the body to restore natural testosterone production. Clomiphene citrate can help restore hormonal balance more quickly and prevent the so-called hormonal “crash.”

Increase muscle mass: By increasing testosterone levels, Clomid can promote muscle mass growth in bodybuilders. Higher testosterone levels can contribute to better muscle recovery and increased muscle mass gain.

Reducing estrogen side effects: Bodybuilding often requires manipulation of hormone levels to prevent the negative effects of estrogen, such as water retention and body fat. Clomid can help control these effects by increasing testosterone and decreasing the ratio of estrogen to androgen.

Dosage: The dosage of clomiphene citrate in bodybuilding depends on individual needs and the cycle used. Typically, 50-100 mg per day is used for several weeks in post-cycle therapy, but specific dosages may vary.
