Chrysin is a natural isoflavone derived from the Passiflora caerulea plant and in some cases from the honeycomb. Improving overall health of the body, Chrysin is extracted through chemical processes and works as an aromatase inhibitor.
Isoflavones are compounds found in various plants and have numerous effects on the body. Balancing hormones, isoflavones promote antioxidant activity necessary for regenerating cells that have been damaged due to free radicals or stress. They are also responsible for converting signals produced outside of cells into various functions inside cells. Promoting a healthy circulatory system, isoflavones regulate blood flow and transport sources of energy (fats and sugars) throughout the body to be metabolized. By improving the strength of bones, isoflavones provide the body with foundational support when building muscle and reduce swelling of tissue caused by stress. Research demonstrates that some isoflavones promote positive results in preventing cancer.
Chrysin may be of particular interest to bodybuilders or those constructing muscle, due to its ability to inhibit aromatase and enhance the effects of anabolic steroids. Through aromatization, the enzyme aromatase transforms testosterone and androgens necessary for muscular development into estrogen (a hormone more prominently found in females and responsible for stimulating female sex characteristics). Chrysin inhibits this process, enabling the body to attain benefits attributed to testosterone, including growth of tissues and enhancing blood flow. To construct muscle, the body requires nutrients and oxygen delivered through the blood to tissue and Chrysin promotes this.
