I started taking Methoxyisoflavone a couple weeks ago. I'm 19, and I was wondering how this new supplement might work. I just wanted your general comments on the product. Thanks a lot. Glad you asked, this is one of the most mysterious supplements on the market, the companies say it works but offer little or no explanation.
Lets start with the history of methoxyisoflavone.
It has been around since the mid 70's for the intention of increasing lean muscle mass in livestock, anabolic steroids showed greater increases in lean mass so methoxyisoflavone was kicked to the side. When the USDA passed a strict anti-hormone ruling, anabolic steroids were no longer allowed in the farming of livestock. Methoxyisoflavone was shown not to effect the endocrine function and therefore was judged not to be hormonal. The way methoxyisoflavone works is by increasing protein utilization and raising the levels of calcium phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen retention. It also partially suppresses the catabolic effects of cortisone.
