What to know about Clomiphene
How it Works
Unlike other Testosterone supplements which increase the amount of testosterone in the body, SERMs like Clomiphene work instead by reducing reactivity to estrogen in the bloodstream which will cause testosterone levels to rise.
Who is it for?
Men of childbearing age with Low-T may choose to go with Clomiphene to avoid the negative effects on fertility and sperm production.
Effectiveness
In multiple studies, Clomiphene has been found to be effective in raising testosterone levels without damaging male fertility.1
