Brief
Chrysin (CAS No. 480-40-0) is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound found in passion flowers (Passiflora caerulea), honey, and bee propolis. Known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hormone-regulating properties, chrysin has gained interest in the fields of nutritional supplements, sports nutrition, and anti-aging formulations.
What is Chrysin?
Chrysin, chemically classified as 5,7-dihydroxyflavone, belongs to the flavone subgroup of flavonoids. It has been studied for its potential role in:
- Supporting testosterone balance by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme
- Reducing oxidative stress and inflammation
- Providing neuroprotective and cardioprotective benefits
Natural dietary sources are relatively limited, which makes supplementation a convenient way to achieve consistent intake.
