Description:

Clomid is the brand name for the drug clomiphene citrate, it is called a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) because it is a compound that acts directly on the estrogen receptor. The drug is not an anabolic steroid but a prescription drug generally prescribed to woman as a fertility aid due to the fact that it shows ability to stimulate ovulation.Clomid is a chemically synthetic estrogen with both agonist/antagonist properties. In certain target tissues is can block the ability of estrogen to bind with its corresponding receptor. Its clinical use is therefore to oppose the negative feedback of estrogens on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which enhances the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

Clomid when taken for athlete purposes does not offer a tremendous benefit to women. However, in men the negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitar-testicular axis will cause an elevation in both FSH and (primarily) LH which will result in an increase in natural testosterone level production. This affect can be beneficial to the athlete at the end of a steroid cycle when endogenous testosterone levels are depressed. If endogenous testosterone levels are not restored quickly, a dramatic loss in size and strength is likely to occur. This is due to the fact that without testosterone (or other androgens), the catabolic hormone cortisol becomes the dominant force affecting muscle protein synthesis (quickly bringing about a catabolic metabolism). Often referred to as the post-steroid crash, it can quickly eat up much of your newly acquired muscle. Clomid can play a crucial role in preventing this crash in athletic performance. As for woman, the only real use for Clomid is the possible management of endogenous estrogen levels near contest time. This can increase fat loss and muscularity, particularly in female troubles areas such as this hips and thighs.

Male athletes generally find that a daily intake of 50 -150mg over a four to six week period will bring endogenous testosterone production back to an acceptable level. This raise in testosterone should occur slowly but evenly throughout the period of intake. Studies have shown that a dose of 150mg of Clomid will raise your testosterone levels by around 150%.

Clomid can also help with elevated levels of estrogen during a cycle. A high estrogen level puts an athlete in serious risk of developing gynecomastia, which is an obvious unwanted side effect. With the intake of Clomid, the athlete can reduce the risk of developing gynecomastia. The drug also can ward of excess water/fat retention with the minimized estrogen activity. Unfortunately this is not always the case however, and many find it necessary to addition another anti-estrogenic drug. The most common adjunct is Proviron, an oral DHT used to competitively lower aromatase activity and raise the androgen to estrogen ratio.

As for toxicity and side effects, Clomid is considered a very safe drug. Bodybuilders seldom report any problems, but listed possible side effects do include hot flashes, nausea, dizziness, headaches and temporarily blurred vision. Such side effects usually only appear in females however, as they feel the effects of estrogen manipulation much more readily than men.
