A pharmacological drug that almost every bodybuilder depends on is steroids. Though steroid does give the results that bodybuilders desire, it also comes with its own share of side effects, and to balance the side-effects most bodybuilders depends on Clomid. Before we find out what is Clomid, let us get to have a brief understanding of what happens in the body of bodybuilders when they take steroids.

What happens in a bodybuilder’s body?

When steroid substances are used by men, their natural production of male hormones is reduced. The longer they depend on steroids and heavier the dose the more it affects their hormonal balance. The level of testosterone keeps getting lower and the level of female hormones (estradiol, progesterone, and prolactin) keeps increasing. This results in the growth of female breasts in men, also known as gynecomastia, and it even causes fluid retention in their bodies. This hormonal imbalance can be normalized with the help of antiestrogens, and the safest, most popular, and most effective antiestrogen is Clomiphene (Clomid). No matter what type of steroid a bodybuilder is using and for how long, Clomid is commonly suggested to them to get desired results.

How does Clomid work on bodybuilders?
