How to increase IGF levels if I’m taking enclomiphene as my TRT?
AlphaMD's Answer
Enclomiphene has the distinct feature of decreasing IGF-1 production. Here is a study that discusses it further.
The science suggests that it shuts down the process that manufactures IGF-1, which means it will prevent any increase that would normally be expected when using injections of exogenous testosterone.
Essentially, any efforts to raise IGF-1 will not be effective while on enclomiphene because it blocks the internal mechanism that elevates it in the first place.
For this reason, if fitness/physique are your primary goals in raising your testosterone, enclomiphene is the least effective method to accomplish this.
