7-methoxyflavone and Diethylstilbestrol, Methyltestosterone

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

TESTOSTERONE

Why this applies to Diethylstilbestrol, Methyltestosterone

Diethylstilbestrol, Methyltestosterone falls under TESTOSTERONE — the group 7-methoxyflavone interacts with.

In vitro evidence shows that 7-methoxyflavone inhbits aromatase. Inhibiting aromatase reduces the conversion of testosterone and other androgens to estrogens. Theoretically, use of 7-methoxyflavone with testosterone might increase the effects and side effects of testosterone therapy.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Tylosterone is a combo product that contains methyltestosterone (an androgen) plus diethylstilbestrol (a synthetic estrogen). The supplement 7-methoxyflavone is thought to block aromatase, the enzyme that turns testosterone into estrogen. If that holds true, less of your methyltestosterone would get converted away, leaving more active androgen in your body. In plain terms, that could nudge up the testosterone-related effects and side effects, like acne, oily skin, mood changes, fluid retention, or liver strain (oral androgens can be hard on the liver).

I want to be honest though: this is a theoretical concern based only on lab data, not real human studies, and the supplement itself has weak evidence behind it. Before combining these, please check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Diethylstilbestrol, Methyltestosterone page

“Tylosterone pairs diethylstilbestrol, an estrogen, with methyltestosterone, an oral androgen already known for stressing the liver, and that is exactly where this interaction list concentrates. I would handle these 73 supplements carefully.”

About 7-methoxyflavone

What is 7-methoxyflavone?

  • Boosting testosterone
  • Reducing estrogen (aromatase inhibition)
  • Athletic and bodybuilding performance
  • Muscle building support

7-Methoxyflavone is a lab-made or plant-derived flavonoid marketed mainly in testosterone-boosting and bodybuilding supplements based on the idea that it blocks the aromatase enzyme. However, solid human evidence that it raises testosterone, improves performance, or builds muscle is essentially lacking, and its long-term safety has not been well studied. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
