CLOMID BASIC INFORMATION
Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is an estrogen blocker much like Nolvadex. While it has been claimed that Clomid “stimulates” production of leutenizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone and therefore of testosterone, in fact Clomid’s activity is achieved not by stimulation of the hypothalamus and pituitary, but by blocking their inhibition by estrogen. Clomid is a activator/blocker which, when bound to the estrogen receptor, puts it in a somewhat different conformation (shape) than does estradiol. The estrogen receptor requires binding of an estrogen or drug at its binding site and also the binding of any of several cofactors at different sites. Without the binding of the cofactor, the estrogen receptor is inactive. Different tissues use different cofactors.

Clomid also has the property of reducing the adverse effect of exercise-induced damage of muscle tissue. This is very significant for endurance athletes but is not very significant, if at all significant, with reasonable weight training. Clomid does not perceptibly affect gains of the weight trainer either favorably or adversely. Clomid is useful throughout a cycle if aromatizable drugs are being used.

Generally regarded as a well-tolerated antiestrogen in sports, Clomid does not cause serious adverse reactions, as confirmed by scientific studies. Still, side effects are possible in cases of individual intolerance or high dosages.

Females report unwanted side effects in the form of irritability, sudden emotional changes, depressive feelings, swelling. Some other side effects are also possible:

• frequent headaches;
• bouts of nausea;
• sharp increases in body temperature;
• unpleasant sensation in the chest area;
• acne;
• deteriorated vision.

Recommended dosage: 20mg – 80mg/day
