How CLOMIPURE 100MG CAPSULE Works
CLOMIPURE 100MG CAPSULE is a combination of Clomiphene citrate that selectively binds to estrogen hormone receptors in the brain, ovary, endometrium and cervix to increase the secretion of the luteinizing hormone as well as a follicle-stimulating hormone for the release of a mature egg from ovaries and Melatonin improves egg quality by reducing the damage, which in turn leads to higher fertilization rate. This collective action is useful in managing female infertility.
