What are the benefits of taking Chrysin?

Studies have shown that flavones, in particular chrysin, have the ability to exert a large variety of beneficial and powerful effects upon the body. Specifically, European studies have shown that after consuming chrysin, levels of testosterone and blood serum increased by as much as 30%.

To understand how this happens, consider the following: There are two major hormones in men and women – these are testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone is the hormone dominant in males, with estrogen being dominant in females. Estrogen is the primary signal to the pituitary gland in the brain. Depending on your estrogen levels, the pituitary gland will dictate the levels of testosterone produced in the body. The higher the estrogen levels, the lower the amounts of testosterone that is produced.

This is how chrysin benefits you. By cutting down the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, chrysin reduces the levels of estrogen in your body and increases the levels of testosterone.
