Men's Hormone Therapy in Fort Collins
Low energy, low drive, or lab results that point to low testosterone, but you'd rather not start injections or you're thinking about having kids? Enclomiphene is an oral option that works with your body's own testosterone production instead of replacing it. At Peak Medical Wellness, it starts the same way every men's visit does: an in-person appointment and labs drawn right here in Fort Collins, with a provider who follows your care at every visit.

Enclomiphene is a tablet, not a hormone. It signals the pituitary gland, the small gland at the base of the brain that directs hormone production, to tell the testes to make more testosterone. Nothing is added from outside the body. Your own production goes up.
Because your body keeps running its own production, enclomiphene generally does not suppress sperm production the way testosterone replacement can. That difference is the main reason a provider may suggest it for men who want to keep the option of having children.
Here is how enclomiphene compares with testosterone replacement therapy on the three things men ask about most.
| Factor | Enclomiphene | Testosterone replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Route | Oral tablet, taken at home | Injections at home, or pellets placed in the office |
| Fertility impact | Works with your own production; generally does not suppress sperm production | Can suppress sperm production while you're on it |
| Adjustability | Dose adjusted at follow-up visits, based on your labs | Injections: adjustable from week to week. Pellets: fixed for the full cycle |
Neither is better for everyone. Your provider recommends an option based on your labs, symptoms, fertility plans and preferences.

Enclomiphene is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is not an FDA-approved medication. In 2022, an FDA advisory committee voted against adding enclomiphene to the list of substances pharmacies may compound, and the FDA has not made a final decision; while that evaluation continues, it remains available as a compounded medication. Your provider explains the benefits, risks and alternatives before prescribing, and prescribing depends on your labs and evaluation. If you've read about clomiphene citrate, the active ingredient in Clomid®: chemically, clomiphene is a mix of two mirror-image forms, and enclomiphene is one of them. That doesn't make enclomiphene an approved drug. At Peak Medical Wellness we prescribe enclomiphene, a separate compounded product.
Enclomiphene starts with the same men's hormone and wellness panel as every hormone visit at Peak Medical Wellness, drawn at your first appointment:
Dose-check labs are repeated after starting or changing therapy, and routine monitoring continues while you're in care. Everyone responds differently.
Follow-ups are in person. Labs are repeated after you start and after any change to your dose, then on a routine schedule while you're in care. At each visit your provider checks how you feel, reviews your numbers and adjusts the plan.
Possible side effects include mood changes and, rarely, visual changes such as blurring or spots. Report any change in your vision right away.
In-person consultation. Meet with a licensed provider to review your health history, symptoms, and goals.
Baseline labs. Drawn at your first visit, so your plan is built on your results.
A plan built for you. Your provider recommends treatment based on your labs and goals and adjusts it as you go, with no one-size-fits-all schedule.
Ongoing follow-up. Regular check-ins and provider visits, and follow-up labs when needed.

Unlike testosterone replacement, which can suppress sperm production, enclomiphene works with your body's own production and is often considered when fertility is a priority. Your provider reviews your individual situation.
