Description
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Chrysin is a natural bioflavonoid that has shown remarkable activity in suppressing the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible inter alia for the conversion of testosterone into estrogen (several studies).
In elderly men, testosterone levels decline progressively with age while estrogen levels rise to unphysiological levels. This happens because, with advancing age, the aromatase activity increases. Low testosterone levels (with high estrogen levels) are a recognised risk factor for several diseases associated with elderly men including risk for heart disease.
INDICATIONS
To correct increased conversion of testosterone into estrogen in elderly men.
WARNINGS
Although chrysin is remarkably non-toxic, it is highly advisable to do blood level assays of testosterone and estrogen to ensure correct dosage levels of the product.
