WHAT IS METHOXY ISOFLAVONE?
Methoxy is a powerful flavone that was issued a patent back in the 70's an
an anabolic agent. A Hungarian company filed the main patent as an animal feed
additive. When 5-Methy-7-Methoxyisoflavone was approved for animal, this new
product became a favourite among livestock producers, especially during the
80's.
In human studies Methoxy Isoflavone showed positive results also - with
demonstrated increases in protein utilization, after a few weeks of use a 4.4 -
6.6lb increase of lean muscle have been reported. Furthermore these anabolic
effects also increased calcium, phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen retention
toa significant degree. While other experiments showed the highly catabolic
stress hormone, cortisone's effects were suppressed. Neatly summed up in
scientific literature - anabolic steroids of a similar dose did not exert
anabolic effects any stronger than methoxyisoflavone.
5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone is suitable for anyone wanting to gain
muscle size and strength without adversely affecting their hormone levels
or health. Strength and power athletes (such as rugby players or
sprinters), bodybuilders, or those interested in improving their physical
appearance will likely benefit from supplementation with
5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone.
HOW DOES METHOXY WORK?
During the search for new anabolics in the 1970's, researchers strived
to develop an anabolic without steroid status. In 1977 a Hungarian company
filed a patent for a new and revolutionary flavone called
5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone. It works by increasing protein synthesis
and nitrogen retention in much the same way steroids do, but without the
androgenic side-effects. Patented by pharmaceutical experts Chinoin (US
Patent # 4,163,746), 5-methyl-7-methoxyisoflavone is designed to promote
muscle growth while at the same time increasing fat loss.
For various commercial reasons nothing was ever done with this compound
when it was first developed. However, after 20 years, patent protection is
lost and anyone can copy the product using the exact methods detailed in
the patent (patents have to list exact manufacturing technique).
Once the patent expired, Methoxy quickly became popular with many
livestock producers and still is now. It packed on massive amounts of lean
muscle in animals in a short time, allowing farmers to enjoy record
profits. With livestock, after just 30 days on Methoxy, gains in weight
average 8-15% in calfs, 7-10% in cattle, 8-20% in poultry and 10-20% in
rabbits. All gains were mostly lean muscle tissue. Experts now consider
Methoxy as one of the most effective anabolic agents currently available.
What's more, the patent shows that it's free from "androgenic or
liver-damaging side effects".
Recent university research, published in the prestigious journal Medicine
and Science in Sports and Exercise, shows that combining Methoxy with
a proper diet and regular training program will help you build muscle
while simultaneously shedding fat. Using a sophisticated technique for
measuring body composition known as DEXA, results showed that the Methoxy
group added muscle more than three times faster than the control group.
Subjects using the placebo put on almost 2 pounds of fat, while those
using the Methoxy lost almost three pounds of fat. Although there is much
research still to be done, the data so far indicates that
5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone is a highly effective and promising
supplement.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM METHOXY USE?
Methoxy, unlike steroids, does not alter human endocrine function in any way
and does not exhibit androgenic or liver damaging effects. Methoxy should be a
very safe supplement for both men and women to use.
HOW MUCH AND WHEN?
Methoxy tends to be taken in doses from 500mg to 1000mg a day for effective
dose - often used in the morning and after a workout in a divided dose. 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone is a powerful compound, and
should not be taken continuously. Instead, most supplement experts
recommend that you take it for 4 weeks, leave 1 week of rest, and then
start again.
