7,8-benzoflavone Overview

7,8-Benzoflavone acts as a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, which means it helps increase testosterone levels by blocking the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. This can be particularly beneficial when used alongside anabolic steroids to minimize side effects like gynecomastia caused by excess testosterone converting to estrogen. However, it's important to note that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has banned the use of aromatase inhibitors in sports to maintain fairness and integrity in athletic competition. Moreover, the consumption of dietary supplements containing aromatase inhibitors can pose significant risks. Adverse effects linked to these inhibitors encompass aggressive behavior, adrenal insufficiency, reduced bone maturation and growth rates, diminished sperm production, infertility, kidney failure, and liver dysfunction. The use of aromatase inhibitors (of which many are available by prescription) should be under the supervision of a medical professional.

Fenofibrate Overview

  • Fenofibrate is used with a low-fat diet, exercise, and sometimes with other medications to reduce the amounts of fatty substances such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood and to increase the amount of HDL (high-density lipoprotein; a type of fatty substance that decreases the risk of heart disease) in the blood. Build-up of cholesterol and fats along the walls of the arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) decreases the blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. This increases the risk of heart disease, angina (chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks. Although fenofibrate decreases the levels of fatty substances in the blood, it has not been shown to decrease the risk of heart attacks or strokes. Fenofibrate is in a class of medications called antilipemic agents. It works by speeding the natural processes that remove cholesterol from the body.
