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.

Inclisiran Overview

  • Inclisiran injection is used along with diet alone or in combination with other cholesterol-lowering medications to decrease the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') in the blood in people with familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) (an inherited condition in which cholesterol cannot be removed from the body normally). It is also used along with diet changes and other treatments to reduce the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') in the blood in people who have clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Inclisiran injection is in a class of medications called proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9)-interfering mRNA. It works by decreasing the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body.
