Why is chrysin sold for hormones?
Chrysin is a flavonoid studied for its effects on aromatase, the enzyme that helps convert androgens into estrogens. Much of this research uses cells or animals, so it provides a possible mechanism rather than an established hormone treatment. 1

Questions people ask
Is chrysin a proven testosterone booster?
No benefit is established by the small human study reviewed here; its honey-and-propolis preparation did not change urinary testosterone. 1
Does a better-absorbed product prove better results?
The newer trial demonstrated more chrysin reaching the blood, not a proven hormone treatment. 2
Did the new blend have any other interesting findings?
Small fasting-glucose reductions were exploratory findings in healthy adults. The blend contained other flavonoids, so this does not isolate chrysin’s effects or establish diabetes treatment. 2
