Honey

[Gym rat]

Early today while I was looking at the form on BB.com and RX muscle I notice that a few members on there use honey which made me think I might use honey while I am bulking during the off season.I would be keen to hear your thoughts on the use of honey while bulking.

Dunno about honey but BBQ sauce is anabolic as fuark. Make sure to drown everything you eat in the stuff

Is canned pineapple trendy now? Fantastic! I must be so cool now!

Cottage cheese + vanilla whey protein + pineapple = Awesomeness. It tastes like the traditional cheesecake.

 

As for the honey... I like manuka honey, although I can only afford the cheap stuff. Man, some of those brands are ridiculously expensive!

And, apparently, some of our manuka honey may not actually be manuka?
The land of bad milk and fake honey

Way to go, NZ... *dash1*

Honey naturally contains high levels of chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone), which is a naturally occurring flavonoid. It is believed to inhibit aromatase enzymes which convert androgens into estrogen in the bloodstream. Therefore resulting in higher levels of androgens like testosterone and lower levels of estrogen.

Research has failed to prove that chrysin inhibits aromatase activity and current medical opinion is that it has no effect on testosterone and estrogen levels.

Chrysin is a popular ingredient in many natural test boosters.

I'm not sure if the members of RX muscle and bb.com eat a lot of honey due to this fact or not but that's what I found while researching supplements. Reminded me of this thread so thought I would post it here.

Interesting. When you say honey "is believed to inhibit aromatase enzymes", are you saying that although current medical opinion says no, bodybuilders still think it's effective?

There's a shortage of honey... The Chinese are smuggling it all back to china...
