Clomid for 18yr old. Good, bad idea?

My 18yr old Son who is now living with me in the UAE is 150kg at 5ft 9 so really obese. His test is low at 11.9 nmol/L (7.60 - 31.40) and E2 at 53 pmol/L (0.00 - 191.99). I haven't had his SHBG tested yet as it's a pain getting anything done over here. Did his bloods in the UK 2 months ago.

I have started him on a fitness regime on cardio and weights and on the keto diet (which I'm on as well), though obviously not too hard at present. I've also put him on Clomid at 25mg Mon, Wed and Fri to raise his testosterone. Can get it OTC over here.

Is this a good or bad idea? Obviously I'm not going to start him on TRT at such a young age.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks.
 
I’m not a fan of Comid, as it tends to raise your estrogen levels. BUT, everyone responds differently. He should try it, and evaluate the results. Use a low dose to test.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
