Estro 7 By Nutra Innovations Overview & Drug Interactions

7-Methoxyflavone is a methylated flavonoid that can be synthesized chemically or obtained from extracts of Zornia brasiliensis and various plants belonging to the Meliaceae and Rutaceae families. This compound is of interest due to its potential impact on testosterone levels. It is believed to function by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting testosterone and other androgens into estrogens. By blocking aromatase, 7-methoxyflavone may contribute to increased testosterone levels. Consequently, some supplement manufacturers have included 7-methoxyflavone in products marketed for its purported ability to enhance testosterone levels and improve athletic performance.

Black pepper is a spice made from the dried, unripe fruit of the Piper nigrum plant, which is native to the southwestern coast of India. It is one of the most widely used spices in the world, and it is often utilized to add flavor and heat to a wide variety of dishes. In traditional medicine, black pepper is purported to have a number of health benefits. It is a good source of antioxidants and is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may make it useful in reducing inflammation and swelling in the body. Black pepper is also used as a natural remedy for digestive problems, such as indigestion and bloating, and to boost the immune system. Black pepper is widely used in dietary supplements, specifically, an extract from black pepper known as piperine. Piperine can affect the absorption of many drugs, which is why it has a large number of reported interactions. Oftentimes, these 'interactions' are purposeful, such as when piperine is used with turmeric, to increase its absorption.
