Product Information Aging men suffer from the dual effects of having too little testosterone and excess estrogen that can severely inhibit sexual desire and performance. For many men, a safe and easy way to increase free testosterone is to prevent it from being converted (aromatized) into excess estrogen is by using Chrysin - the aromatase inhibitor. Chrysin increases and preserves Testosterone, which accounts for it's ability to increase Muscle Growth. Also useful for the treatment of Gout.
Chromium is an essential Micromineral.
Chemical Symbol: Cr
Health Benefits of Chromium
Adrenal Glands
Chromium concentrates in the Adrenal Glands (and may exert (presently unknown) protective effective in the Adrenal Glands).
Aging & Life Extension
Chromium supplementation may counteract the natural decline in the body’s Chromium content that occurs in tandem with the progression of the Aging Process.
Chromium may possess Life Extension possibilities.
Cardiovascular System
Chromium may help to reverse Atherosclerosis damage and Atherosclerosis may occur as a result of Chromium deficiency.
Chromium may help to regulate Blood Pressure:
Chromium may inhibit the ability of excessive Sucrose consumption to cause Hypertension.
Chromium may improve Blood Circulation.
Some Cardiovascular Diseases may occur as a result of Chromium deficiency due to Chromium's ability to increase HDL Cholesterol. Description
Chrysin is a type of Isoflavonoid Bioflavonoid.
Health Benefits of ChrysinImmune System
Chrysin may reduce Inflammation.
Musculoskeletal System
Chrysin may alleviate Gout (by inhibiting the Xanthine Oxidase enzyme which subsequently causes a reduction in Uric Acid production).
Chrysin may stimulate Muscle Growth (by inhibiting the conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol, Chrysin increases and preserves Testosterone which accounts for its ability to increase Muscle Growth):
In animal studies Chrysin caused significant increases in Muscle mass (up to 20%). In chronically ill humans Chrysin caused gains in lean body mass of 1.5 3 kg in after several weeks of therapy.
Nervous System
Chrysin may bind to and activate Benzodiazepine Receptors this activation of Benzodiazepine Receptors may help to alleviate Anxiety.
Sexual System
Chrysin may increase (male) Sexual Desire (libido).
Chrysin may Enhance the Function of these Substances
Hormones
Chrysin may inhibit the conversion of Androstenedione to Estrone (by inhibiting the Aromatase enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of Androstenedione to Estrone).
Chrysin may inhibit the conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol (by inhibiting the Aromatase enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol):
* In one study, 3,000 mg of Chrysin per day caused an increase in Testosterone levels of at least 20% in males.
Chrysin may Inhibit these Potentially Toxic Substances
Enzymes
Chrysin may inhibit Aromatase enzymes.
Chrysin may inhibit Xanthine Oxidase.
Hormones
Chrysin may suppress the production of Cortisol (by activating Benzodiazepine Receptors which is a known mechanism of Cortisol suppression).
Organic Acids
Chrysin may reduce the body’s endogenous production of Uric Acid (by inhibiting the Xanthine Oxidase enzyme):
* It is noteworthy that Uric Acid also has various therapeutic benefits and is primarily toxic only when produced in excess, in which case it can be a cause of Gout.

Proteins
Transferrin transports Chromium around the body (however Transferrin preferentially transports Iron around the body).
Vitamins
Vitamin C converts the toxic Hexavalent form of Chromium to the beneficial Trivalent form and may increase the absorption of Chromium.
These Substances may Interfere with Chromium
Carbohydrates
Sucrose may increase the excretion of Chromium via the Urine.

Nervous System
Excessive Stress may reduce the body's absorption of Chromium.
Toxic Effects of Chromium
Evidence is mounting that the Chromium Picolinate form of Chromium may be more toxic (due to the Picolinic Acid moiety of this form) than other forms of Trivalent Chromium.
Birth Defects
A study is often cited by Chromium critics that claims that Chromium Picolinate can cause birth defects in the offspring of persons who supplement with Chromium it should be noted that this study involved the equivalent of 6 GRAMS of Chromium per day (an amount that is 3,000 6,000 times that normally used for therapeutic purposes).
Recently (1997) a study was undertaken that concluded that Chromium Picolinate and Chromium Chloride are safe in doses of up to 2,000 times the estimated safe limit of Chromium for humans.
