Chrysin
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Chrysin is a naturally occurring isoflavone chemically extracted from the plant Passiflora coerulea. Chrysin has many actions on the body, including anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer properties. In addition, studies carried out in Europe found that chrysin can increase testosterone levels by 30% or more.
ROLE FOR ANTI-AGING:
Chrysin, like some other flavonoids, has been found to be a potent inhibitor of P-form phenolsulfotransferase- mediated sulfation, a reaction affecting drug interactions and metabolism. This implies that chrysin is a potential chemopreventive agent in sulfationinduced carcinogenesis. Chrysin can therefore, be seen as an effective antioxidant phytonutrient, and may be useful in treating conditions related to oxidative stress. Some studies have also found that chrysin inhibits HIV-1 activation by interfering with factors responsible for viral transcription. Such findings indicate that chrysin could be of use as an anti-AIDS drug.
THERAPEUTIC DAILY AMOUNT:
1-3 grams of Chrysin daily is a safe and effective dosage.
MAXIMUM SAFE LEVEL: Not established
SIDE EFFECTS/CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Chrysin should be not be taken by pregnant or lactating women, or those with prostate or reproductive abnormalities.
