Clomiphene Citrate, widely known by its brand name Clomid, is a crucial pharmaceutical used by bodybuilders and athletes primarily during post-cycle therapy (PCT) to help restore natural testosterone production. Its efficacy in treating low testosterone levels and counteracting the suppression caused by anabolic steroid cycles has made it a popular choice among those seeking to recover and maintain their gains.
Mechanism of Action:
Clomiphene Citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that works by binding to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus. This binding disrupts the negative feedback mechanism that estrogen exerts on the hypothalamus, leading to an increased release of gonadotropins (LH and FSH) from the pituitary gland. Elevated levels of these hormones stimulate the testes to produce more endogenous testosterone, which helps in restoring normal hormone levels and mitigating the effects of suppressed testosterone production caused by anabolic steroid use.
Usage and Dosage
The typical dosage for Clomiphene Citrate in a PCT regimen is 25-50 mg per day, administered orally. This dosage may vary depending on individual needs and the extent of testosterone suppression experienced. Clomiphene Citrate is usually taken for a duration of 4-6 weeks, starting shortly after the completion of the anabolic steroid cycle to facilitate the recovery of natural testosterone production.
