HGH Fragment 176-191
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.
HGH Fragment 176-191 (also known as AOD-9604) is a stabilized, modified fragment of the human growth hormone molecule corresponding to amino acids 176–191 with an addition of a tyrosine residue at the N-terminus. It retains HGH's fat-burning properties without the anabolic, diabetogenic, or IGF-1-stimulating effects.

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)
  • Selective fat burning without anabolic side effects
  • Reduces visceral and subcutaneous fat
  • No insulin resistance or blood glucose disruption
  • Does not stimulate IGF-1
  • May support cartilage and bone repair (at higher doses)
  • No effect on growth or organ size
Side Effects
  • Visual disturbances (rare but class-related SERM effect)
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Hot flashes
  • Elevated estradiol in some users
  • +2 more
  • Injection site irritation
  • Temporary lethargy
  • Headache (rare)
  • Nausea (rare)
