Here is a little more information
on Chrysin:
What is chrysin...?
It is a natural substance known as an flavonoid, and is found in the
Passifloracoerulea plant. Extract from the plant are used to produce supplements. How can it benefit
you?
Scientific studies show that flavonoids such as chrysin may boost free testosterone levels in the
body.
Testosterone is the root cause of a man's lean muscle to fat ratio, and the biological source of
his sex drive.
As men age, their body's testosterone production naturally diminishes. After the age of
30, in fact, testosterone production decreases at the rate of 2% per year.
In addition, the vast majority of
testosterone in the body is in a "bound" state. Freeing up some of this testosterone plays a very important role.
What is Chrysin and how does it work, then?
Some experts speculate that chrysin has the ability to block a
particular aromatase enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen (the female hormone, but men also have some
naturally).
By blocking this conversion, it effectively helps to increase free testosterone levels. Chrysin
combined with Piperine
Chrysin and piperine work synergistically...so many experts recommend you
take your chrysin combined with piperine.
Piperine is pepper extract. It has been known to help increase the
body's absorption of other nutrients, thus enhancing their efficacy.
In the case of chrysin, however, pepper
extract has been shown in research to significantly boost free testosterone levels.
Therefore, if you
want to get the maximum out of your chrysin supplements, consider taking it in conjunction with piperine. Dosages
and Precautions
It's advisable that you consult with your physician before beginning supplementation of
any kind.
Most chrysin supplements will contain around 1,000 mg to 1,500 mg per dose. Only a small amount of
piperine seems to be needed to enhance its efficacy. Anywhere from 10 mg to 20 mg.
Follow the recommended
dosages on whatever supplement you are taking, and don't abuse it. More doesn't necessarily mean better
when it comes to nutritional supplements.
Freeing up testosterone
sounds interesting and Chrysin with Piperine just might be the way to go. HMMMM maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks
for the tip off to Chrysin, Mo.
