Bodybuilders and athletes have been searching for a supplement (or drug) that would dramatically increase protein synthesis but not exhibit androgenic side effects, like male-pattern baldness, enlarged prostate, acne, gynocomastia, and liver damage. For the most part, with the exception of maybe creatine, this quest has been like chasing the windthat is, until now. The name of this potent anabolic compound is 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone (Methoxy-7). It was originally designed to increase lean mass on animals and humans, without the negatives associated with steroids. Not only was the flavone found to be powerfully anabolicoften producing several kilos of lean mass in just a few weeksbut it significantly reduces body fat, lowers cholesterol, and improves the body's ability to utilize oxygen. In other words, it's not only anabolic, it's healthy!
