Carnosine- Summary
- Enclomiphene is the trans-isomer of clomiphene citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that stimulates endogenous testosterone production by blocking estrogen negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary. Unlike TRT, it restores testosterone while preserving or increasing sperm production and testicular volume.
- Carnosine is an endogenous dipeptide (beta-alanine + histidine) found in high concentrations in muscle and brain. It is a potent anti-aging molecule with broad spectrum antioxidant, anti-glycation, anti-carbonylation, and metal chelating properties, making it one of the most protective naturally occurring dipeptides.
- Half-Life
- 5-7 days (long half-life; accumulates)
- ~1.5 minutes (rapidly hydrolyzed to beta-alanine and histidine by carnosinase in blood; tissue levels maintained via constant synthesis)

- Typical Dose
- 12.5-25 mg per day
- 1,000–2,000 mg
- Frequency
- Once daily or every other day
- Once to twice daily with meals
- Key Benefits
- Restores testosterone to normal range without exogenous androgen administration
- Preserves or increases sperm production and fertility
- Maintains testicular volume (unlike TRT which causes testicular atrophy)
- LH and FSH levels rise, indicating intact HPG axis function
- Option for hypogonadal men desiring fertility
- Oral administration (no injection required)
- Potent anti-glycation (prevents protein cross-linking/aging)
- Broad-spectrum antioxidant in muscle and brain
- Extends cell lifespan and protects telomeres
- Improves muscle performance and delays fatigue (pH buffering)
- Neuroprotective against Alzheimer's amyloid-beta
- Wound healing acceleration
- Anti-cataract properties (eye health)
