Methoxyisoflavone In Phyto-Testosterone

I read a study today from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (read it here: Invalid Link Removed) that concluded methoxyisoflavone had no real effect on testosterone levels, cortisol, or body fat, among other things. I know Testofen works, but why was methoxyisoflavone put in Phyto-Testosterone?

Yes, but this is just one study. The sample size (n) is pretty small as well. There have been quite a few studies that are promising. I'll post them up when I have a bit more time.

I know from what I've read in the studies that it's the cortisol modulating effect that's been the most noted effect; which could translate into improved incidence of muscle hypertrophy and/or retention.

Methoxyisoflavone is a beneficial substance, but needs a lot more scientific research put into it for sure. However, the theory behind methoxyisoflavone is that it can indirectly influence an increase in testosterone through its cortisol modulating properties, but to expect a huge increase in test from it...that is wishful thinking.

However, the part about methoxisoflavone that makes the substance worth using is that it has strong nitrogen retention properties (similar to Ecdy) and additionally it works as a strong adaptogen (think suma root or rhodiola rosea).

In essence, the substance is not bunk, but does need more scientific evidence behind it, but I would rather see the research look more into methoxyisoflavone exerts its adaptogenic and nitrogen retention properties more than anything else. Forget the whole idea of it being a test booster...there are better test boosting compounds out on the market anyway.

Anyway to answer the OP's question...the reason why I believe methoxyisoflavone was used in Phytotestosterone is simply because it serves as a great compliment to testofen. Testofen is a solid test booster, but having it combined with methoxyisoflavone it is possible that the effects of testofen are amplified due to the cortisol and adaptogenic properties of methoxisoflavone. In essence, what I am saying is Methoxyisoflavone should be used a compliment to make a proven test boosting compound stronger (which was most likely the intent behind the creation of phytotestosterone), not by itself.
