Enclomiphene- Summary
- Pal-AHK is the palmitoylated form of the AHK-Cu copper tripeptide, created by attaching a palmitic acid chain to enhance skin penetration and lipid bilayer affinity. The palmitoyl modification significantly improves dermal bioavailability compared to unmodified AHK, making it particularly effective in anti-aging and hair growth formulations.
- 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.
- Half-Life
- Extended (lipid depot effect in stratum corneum)
- 5-7 days (long half-life; accumulates)

- Key Benefits
- Enhanced skin penetration vs. unmodified AHK-Cu
- Stimulates dermal collagen and elastin production
- Promotes hair follicle anagen phase
- Antioxidant and wound healing activity
- Firming and plumping effect on aging skin
- Improved bioavailability via lipid bilayer incorporation
- 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
- Generally well-tolerated
- Mild irritation at high concentrations in sensitive skin
- Possible comedogenicity at very high palmitate concentrations (formulation-dependent)
- Visual disturbances (rare but class-related SERM effect)
- Mood changes or irritability
- Hot flashes
- Elevated estradiol in some users
