PCT – Clomid

Following MOST Sarm cycles, PCT will be required.

When planning your PCT cycle, Clomid is one of the most common drug names you’ll see mentioned by experienced bodybuilders. It is very commonly included in post cycle therapy for reasons we will cover below.

Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate)

It’s not only during PCT that Clomid is extremely helpful though, with this being a medication that is often utilized during a Sarms cycle as well to combat some of the worst side effects that we all want to avoid.

Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is in the class of drugs called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM). It has anti-estrogen effects and was originally developed as a fertility medication for women who do not ovulate normally.

Clomid is also sometimes prescribed for the treatment of hypogonadism in men as an alternative option to testosterone replace therapy (TRT), with excellent results often seen in this area (increases the output of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary gland) which is why Clomid became such a sought after drug for those using Sarms.

In the world of bodybuilding, Clomid is highly prized for its ability to mitigate estrogenic side effects caused by many Sarms during a cycle, as well as for combating the suppression of natural testosterone as a result of using Sarms which is the main goal of its use in post cycle therapy.

Two of the most dreaded estrogen caused side effects that Sarms users want to avoid are water retention and gynecomastia (gyno). Clomid is useful for tackling both of these adverse effects which, if left to advance, can both lead to some serious negative implications.

Excess water retention can not only ruin your physique and mask your gains, but also lead to high blood pressure. While Gyno can become untreatable if left too long, with surgery the only option. So, it goes without saying that Clomid is a hugely powerful tool in the arsenal of any Sarms user.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE WITH CLOMID AND NOLVA?

Clomid and Nolvadex work similarly in lowering estrogen levels and increasing natural testosterone production, the main difference side effects and effectiveness in increasing testosterone.

Clomid will give you more side effects such as emotional vulnerability, hot flushes, upset stomach, headaches (not everyone). Clomid will work quicker to bring your testosterone levels back to normal comparative to Nolvadex, which means more retained gains, but side effects may seem harsher for the first week.

This is why some users prefer Nolvadex comparative to Clomid. It’s all about personal preference.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T USE PCT?  

If you do not complete a proper PCT, your estrogen levels are likely to rise slightly after a course and your natural testosterone levels will increase back to normal at a much slower rate. Which can inhibit you from keeping the majority of the gains made.

CLOMID SIDE EFFECTS

You are probably wondering if there are any side effects associated with the use of a stack with Clomid.

The most common side effects associated with Clomid is nausea, diarrhea, hot flushes.

High levels of estrogen can cause: Gynecomastia, becoming overly emotional, fat gain, muscle loss and water retention. Which is what Clomid prevents and speeds up the process of avoiding.

Low testosterone can also cause lethargy, muscle loss, decreased confidence, decrease is sex drive.

Clomid was designed to combat all of these side effects caused by suppression of testosterone. And will help to maintain the majority of gains made.
