HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chrysin 500 by MRM Nutrition

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: chrysin, a flavonoid compound found in plants. It's included as a 500 mg capsule.

The capsule itself also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient (a filler material).

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Chrysin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support healthy hormone levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Hormonal balance, Testosterone support, Stress management.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chrysin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).

The evidence on what chrysin actually does in your body is not established in the data we hold. Effectiveness ratings for anxiety, athletic performance, cancer, HIV/AIDS, muscle strength, and gout all show insufficient reliable evidence—meaning studies haven't yet confirmed whether it works for any of these uses.

Before taking it, you'll want to be clear on what you're hoping it will do and talk that through with your pharmacist or doctor.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chrysin

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chrysin appears to be generally well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't know what happens if you take it for months or years. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe for you or your baby.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chrysin

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Chrysin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 358 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take Chrysin 500, double-check with your pharmacist if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin), estrogen therapy or estrogen-based birth control, aromatase inhibitors, diclofenac, or mephenytoin. These are the medication types with documented moderate or minor interactions with chrysin.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Chrysin 500 is a single-ingredient supplement with theoretical interactions affecting a large number of medications—particularly blood thinners, hormone therapies, and a few other drug types. If you take any prescription medication, especially anything for blood clotting, hormones, or seizures, check with your pharmacist before starting this product.

Long-term safety is unknown, and it's not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Chrysin9 drug types · 358 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chrysin might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that chrysin might inhibit platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aromatase Inhibitors

Theoretically, chrysin might increase the effects and adverse effects of aromatase inhibitors.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin might decrease estrogen synthesis by acting as an aromatase (estrogen synthetase) inhibitor..

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, chrysin might reduce the efficacy of estrogen-containing contraceptive drugs.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin might have antiestrogenic activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diclofenac (Voltaren, Others)

Theoretically, chrysin might increase the effects and adverse effects of diclofenac.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin and its sulfate conjugate inhibit diclofenac metabolism. It is speculated that chrysin and its sulfate conjugate reduce the metabolism of diclofenac by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C9. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, chrysin might decrease the effects of estrogen therapy.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin might have antiestrogenic activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Mephenytoin (Mesantoin)

Theoretically, chrysin might increase the effects and adverse effects of mephenytoin.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin and its sulfate and glucuronide conjugates inhibit S-mephenytoin metabolism. It is speculated that chrysin and its conjugates reduce the metabolism of S-mephenytoin by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C19. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, chrysin might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin inhibits CYP1A2 isozymes. However, chrysin does not appear to inhibit CYP1A2-dependent caffeine metabolism in animals. Due to chrysin's low bioavailability and rapid metabolism to glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, this interaction is unlikely.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, chrysin might increase the clearance of drugs that are UGT1A1 substrates, thereby reducing their effectiveness.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1).

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Testosterone

Theoretically, chrysin might increase the effects and adverse effects of testosterone.
In vitro research suggests that chrysin and its sulfate conjugate inhibit testosterone metabolism. It is speculated that chrysin and its sulfate conjugate reduce the metabolism of testosterone by inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Chrysin 500 by MRM Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Chrysin 500 by MRM Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chrysin 500 has a known interaction with 358 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chrysin 500 contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on birth control?
Not without checking first. Chrysin may reduce how well estrogen-containing contraceptives work. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about whether this product is right for you if you rely on hormonal birth control.
Is it safe to take long-term?
We don't have good data on long-term safety. It seems well tolerated in the short term, but taking it for months or years hasn't been well studied. Ask your pharmacist whether longer use makes sense for you.
Can I take it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—there isn't enough safety information, so it's best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before considering this supplement.
What is chrysin and where does it come from?
Chrysin is a flavonoid, a type of plant compound. It occurs naturally in various plants but is extracted and concentrated into supplement form for this product.
Does it actually work for anxiety or muscle strength?
We don't have reliable evidence that it does. The data we hold rates effectiveness for anxiety, athletic performance, muscle strength, and other claimed uses as insufficient—meaning studies haven't confirmed whether chrysin actually works for these purposes.
