Clomiphene citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used primarily for PCT to restart natural testosterone production. It works by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary, leading to increased release of LH and FSH.
Clomiphene is often considered more potent than Tamoxifen for testosterone recovery, but it can cause more pronounced mood-related side effects including emotional lability, depression, and visual disturbances in some users.
The compound is typically used in PCT protocols either alone or in combination with Tamoxifen. Some users prefer clomiphene for more aggressive testosterone recovery, while others find Tamoxifen more tolerable for longer-term use.
