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.

Lansoprazole Overview

  • Prescription lansoprazole is used to treat the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and possible injury of the esophagus (the tube between the throat and stomach) in adults and children 1 year of age and older. Prescription lansoprazole is used to treat the damage from GERD in adults and children 1 year of age and older. Prescription lansoprazole is used to allow the esophagus to heal and prevent further damage to the esophagus in adults with GERD. Prescription lansoprazole is also used to treat ulcers (sores in the lining of the stomach or intestine), to prevent more ulcers from developing in adults whose ulcers have already healed, and to decrease the risk that adults who are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will develop ulcers. Prescription lansoprazole is also used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in adults. Prescription lansoprazole is also used in combination with other medications to treat and prevent stomach ulcers caused by a certain type of bacteria (H. pylori) in adults. Nonprescription (over-the-counter) lansoprazole is used to treat frequent heartburn (heartburn that occurs two or more days per week) in adults. Lansoprazole is in a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.
