Enclomiphene
Summary
Humanin is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded in the 16S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome. It protects neurons and other cells from apoptosis, improves insulin sensitivity, and declines significantly with age. HNG (S14G-Humanin) is a synthetic analog with 1000x greater potency.
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.

Key Benefits
  • Neuroprotection against amyloid-beta toxicity (Alzheimer's relevance)
  • Inhibits cellular apoptosis
  • Improves insulin sensitivity
  • Reduces cardiovascular risk markers
  • Anti-inflammatory effects
  • Correlates with longevity in centenarian studies
  • Protects against ischemic injury
  • Potential cancer cell apoptosis sensitization
  • 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)
Side Effects
  • Injection site irritation
  • Limited human safety data available
  • Visual disturbances (rare but class-related SERM effect)
