question from a user
What are your thoughts on theoretical long term effects on enclomiphene or were the studies not designed or powered to look for adverse events? Clomid may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk due to potential buildup of desmosterol.

For the long term use of Enclomiphene I'll let one of my partners hop in on that tomorrow who is more knowledgeable on that aspect.
Tentatively it seems like Enclomiphene has less side effects than the combination drug Clomid, but at the end of the day the real question to me is what is someone looking to get out of either of them? Often times it seems like an attempt to look for an alternative to Testosterone use which can be rooted in misunderstanding just how useful and safe basic Testosterone is.
Enclomiphene has been proven to raise testosterone, which in and of itself has been proven to reduce the risks of heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.
As far as desmosterol, I can find no mention of any adequate studies that correlate enclomiphene and desmosterol levels in humans.
However, remember higher desmosterol levels have been proven to be beneficial for mental health and reducing the risk of Alzheimer's Disease.
Ultimately, making any conclusions at this stage without further research is just conjecture.
