Clomid/clomiphene citrate is the commonly referenced brand name for clomiphene citrate. Clomid/clomiphene citrate is not an anabolic steroid, but Clomid/clomiphene citrate generally prescribed to women as a fertility aid. This is due to the fact that Clomid/clomiphene citrate shows a pronounced ability to stimulate ovulation. This is accomplished by blocking/minimizing the effects of estrogen in the body. To be more specific Clomid/clomiphene citrate is chemically a synthetic estrogen with both agonist/antagonist properties, and Clomid/clomiphene citrate is very similar in structure and action. In certain target tissues Clomid/clomiphene citrate can block the ability of estrogen to bind with its corresponding receptor. Clomid's clinical use is therefore to oppose the negative feedback of estrogens on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which enhances the release of LH and FSH. This of course can help to induce ovulation. Offers dual effect of blocking out some of the effects of estrogen, while also increasing endogenous testosterone production. Clomid/clomiphene citrate is the anti-estrogen of choice for improving recovery of natural testosterone production after a cycle, improving testosterone production of endurance athletes, and Clomid/clomiphene citrate is also effective in reducing risk of gynecomastia during a cycle employing aromatizable steroids.
