PE-22-28- 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.
- PE-22-28 is a synthetic analog of spadin derived from sortilin, designed to block TREK-1 potassium channels with rapid-onset antidepressant and neurogenic effects. It shows fast-acting depression relief (within 24 hours) and promotes hippocampal neurogenesis.
- Half-Life
- 5-7 days (long half-life; accumulates)
- Relatively short; CNS effects may persist due to neurogenic mechanisms
- Admin Route
- Oral
- SubQ, Intranasal

- 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)
