Dose or timing may matter

Chrysin acts as an aromatase inhibitor reducing estrogen conversion, while Dong Quai has estrogenic properties. These opposing hormonal actions may cancel each other's intended effects.
How to arrange timing
These supplements have opposing hormonal mechanisms; consider choosing one based on your health goals.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
