7-methoxyflavone Overview

7-Methoxyflavone is a methylated flavonoid that can be synthesized chemically or obtained from extracts of Zornia brasiliensis and various plants belonging to the Meliaceae and Rutaceae families. This compound is of interest due to its potential impact on testosterone levels. It is believed to function by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting testosterone and other androgens into estrogens. By blocking aromatase, 7-methoxyflavone may contribute to increased testosterone levels. Consequently, some supplement manufacturers have included 7-methoxyflavone in products marketed for its purported ability to enhance testosterone levels and improve athletic performance.

Budesonide Overview

  • Budesonide (Entocort EC) is used to treat Crohn's disease (a condition in which the body attacks the lining of the digestive tract, causing pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fever). Budesonide (Tarpeyo) is used to decrease protein in the urine in patients with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (kidney disease that occurs in some people when too much immunoglobin A builds up in the kidney, causing inflammation). Budesonide is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works by decreasing inflammation (swelling) in the digestive tract of people who have Crohn's disease or in the kidney of people with nephropathy.
