Does Soy foods Affect Chrysin?
Amount or timing may matter
The short answer
Chrysin acts as an aromatase inhibitor to reduce estrogen conversion. Soy isoflavones provide direct estrogenic stimulation, counteracting chrysin's purpose.
How to arrange timing
Avoid soy foods when taking chrysin for aromatase inhibition.
