Tripeptide-29
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.
Tripeptide-29 is a pro-collagen cosmetic peptide composed of proline, hydroxyproline, and glycine — the core repeating unit of collagen. Applied topically, it signals dermal fibroblasts that collagen degradation has occurred, triggering compensatory new collagen synthesis.

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)
  • Stimulates fibroblast collagen synthesis via damage-signal mechanism
  • Reduces fine lines and improves skin smoothness
  • Supports dermal matrix integrity
  • Naturally bioidentical to collagen fragment sequences
  • Well-tolerated in all skin types
  • Synergistic with copper peptides and retinoids
Side Effects
  • Visual disturbances (rare but class-related SERM effect)
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Hot flashes
  • Elevated estradiol in some users
  • +2 more
  • Excellent tolerability profile
  • No documented significant adverse effects at cosmetic concentrations
  • Rare sensitivity reactions in individuals with peptide allergies
