Product Information:  Two of the major hormones in the body are testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone is anabolic and promotes muscle growth. Estrogen, on the other hand, is catabolic, and promotes the breakdown of muscle tissue. In other words, if you want to promote muscle growth, then a higher level of testosterone and lower level of estrogen will be beneficial.

Unfortunately, your body naturally converts some testosterone into estrogen, a process which accelerates as testosterone levels go up. This also occurs to a greater extent in overweight or obese men. So, if you have large amounts of bodyfat, your body will naturally produce more estrogen. Chrysin stimulates muscle growth by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

There is also good evidence to show that Chrysin also lowers cortisol levels, the hormone that breaks down muscle tissue during intense training and times of stress. Intense weight training can elevate cortisol levels, which is one reason some people make little or no progress gym despite training hard in the gym for hours. Some weight lifting coaches use Chrysin to lower cortisol levels in the athletes they train, helping them to recover more quickly from exercise.
