I'd like to see that. Supp companies are always twisting the facts in order to prove the superiority of their products but if the research was honest, I'd be curious why chyrsin "can" raise the "chances" of getting gyno.
Incidentally, I always felt clomid, being an estrogen and having estrogenic effects in some people could also be likely to raise the chance of getting gyno but I have no proof.
2scoops: If you admit that you need to learn more about training why are you looking to do a cycle? (That's a rhetorical question. I know the answer is that you're lazy). Only after trying every training technique possible, peaking out your natural abilty, and then trying it all over again, should you consider steroids. If you don't have that desire to learn all there is learn about traning, you'll never stick with it anyway.
I couldn't find the one I was looking for, but this "article" suggests that chrysin is worthless based on a study they did (i'm sure the study can be found somewhere on their website):
Q: I read where you say Chrysin does not prevent aromatization and should not be taken with androstenedione. How come every other company sells andro supplements with chrysin in them and says that it does help reduce aromatization and also boosts testosterone?
A: We have said this for quite a few years now. Chrysin is a worthless supplement and should never be taken with ando supplements. In fact, a recent study unequivically proved this.
In the International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism, the study, "Effects of Anabolic Precursors on Serum Testosterone Concentrations and Adaptations to Resistance Training in Young Men." was put together to see specifically if chrysin or indol-3-Carbinol increased the testosterone elevating effects and/or reduced the aromatization effects of androstenedione.
Using the supplement Andro-6, the study concluded that, " . . . addition of these herbal extracts (chrysin) to androstenedione does not result in increased serum testosterone concentrations, reduce the estrogenic effect of androstenedione, and does not augment the adaptations to resistance training."
As to why all the other supplement companies sell worthless andro concoctions with chrysin in them is simple. They do no research at all. They are "monkey see - monkey do" operations. It works like this; If a company comes out with a stupid supplement supported by no research but spends tons of money marketing the worthless supplement, other "me too" companies will knock the worthless product off and sell it under their own name. It happens all the time. It's the blind leading the blind.
It's pathetic but it's very prevelent in the sports nutrtion industry.
