Clomiphene citrate (Clomid)
Clomiphene citrate is very similar in structure and action to Nolvadex. The main difference is that Clomid is much weaker than Nolvadex. In fact, Nolvadex is about 5 times as strong mg for mg as Clomid. Typical dosages for Clomid in PCT are 150mg/150mg/100mg/ 50mg. Nolvadex is typically considered safer than Clomid as well.
One benefit of Clomid over Nolvadex is it appears that Clomid fools the body into believing that the estrogen level is low. This altered feedback information causes the hypothalamus (an area of the brain) to make and release more gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn causes the pituitary to make and release more FSH and LH. More follicle stimulating hormone and more luteinizing hormone should result in an increase in testosterone production as well.
Clomiphene citrate causes more side effects than Nolvadex. It will cause more acne, mostly because of the higher dosage. The more scary effect is that Clomid changes the eyesight of long term users. And the change is permanent. That alone is enough to scare me away from Clomiphene citrate, especially when Nolvadex is more potent and raises natural testosterone production.
