Clomid, which is predominantly used in the medical world for treating female infertility, is now extending its reach to bodybuilders and professional athletes. The response of bodybuilders as well as non-bodybuilders to this wonder drug with amazing results has been exceptionally well.

Clomid, which is also known as Clomifene and Clomifert, provides great benefits to bodybuilders when it comes to the restoration of natural producing testosterone, the male sex hormone.

Its primary objective is to block the inhibition of estrogen and not the stimulation of hypothalamus or pituitary besides being useful in increasing the amount of fluid during ejaculation.

From Wikiepdia.org:

Clomifene acts by inhibiting the action of estrogen on the hypothalamus. Zuclomifene, the more active isomer (see below), binds to estrogen receptors and stays bound for long periods of time. This prevents normal receptor recycling and causes an effective reduction in hypothalamic estrogen receptor number. Since estrogen can no longer effectively feedback on the hypothalamus, GnRH secretion becomes more pulsatile, which results in increased pituitary gonadotropin (FSH, LH) release. Increased gonadotropin levels cause growth of the ovarian follicle, followed by follicular rupture, otherwise known as ovulation.

Clomifene can lead to multiple ovulation, and hence increasing the chance of twins (3-5% of births instead of normal ~1%). In comparison to purified FSH, the rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is low. There may be an increased risk of ovarian cancer and weight gain.

Clomifene is commonly used by male anabolic steroid users to bind the estrogen receptors in their bodies, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen, i.e., gynecomastia. It also restores the body’s natural production of testosterone. It is commonly used as a “recovery drug” and taken toward the end of a steroid cycle.[citation needed] Some users report that taking Clomid increases the amount of fluid produced during ejaculation.

Recent medical studies have suggested that Clomid is an exceptionally useful steroid when taken at the end of a steroid cycle. This is primarily because of the fact that it considerably reduces the risk of risk of gynecomastia during a steroid cycle due to the employment of aromatizable steroids.
