Estrogenex is a anti-estrogen complex aimed at preserving and boosting levels of testosterone in men. By suppressing the synthesis and reception of estrogen, Estrogenex hopes to provide the body with the added testosterone it needs to fuel anabolic reactions. More testosterone can spark explosive gains in muscle mass, drastic increases in strength, and improved body composition. These are benefits any athlete would love to see from a T-boosting supplement but can Estrogenex really deliver?
Estrogenex’s Ingredients
After taking a deeper look into Estrogenex’s formula, we have to admit that we were not very impressed. It uses a blend of ingredients that are backed by limited to no scientific evidence. For instance, the main ingredients used in Estrogenex are Chrysin and Green Tea. Green Tea really comes out of nowhere. We have seen no studies to show that Green Tea can have any effect on testosterone, estrogen, or anything similar. It has been clinically shown to burn more calories, boost energy, and operate as an antioxidant but these in now way have affect sex hormones.
Aside from Green Tea, Estrogenex uses Chrsin. This dud of an ingredient was tested back in the 80′s. Initial research showed that this compound could effectively block the conversion of testosterone into estrogen by inhibiting the function of the enzyme aromatase. However, subsequent studies showed that this effect was only observed under a microscope. No testing in any living subject has shown that Chrysin can effectively suppress estrogen synthesis or raise levels of testosterone. Scientists now assert that Chrysin cannot permeate through certain cell membranes, making it unable to travel into the bloodstream.
Conclusion
Estrogenex is too heavy on fillers to be worth trying. Bogged down powerless ingredients like Chrysin and Green Tea, you can be sure that the rest of its formula can’t be too effective. Even if Chrysin wasn’t the main ingredient, its presence immediately brings down the quality of any formula it touches. We definitely recommend avoiding this product and any others that might contain Chrysin.
