What are phytohormones?

Phytohormones are organic compounds that regulate the growth and function of plant tissues. In medicine and the broader health literature, the term also refers to plant-based compounds that play a similar role to hormones in the human body. They are primarily responsible for stimulating the anabolic processes of protein molecules in our system, leading to their growth and impact on muscle strength and mass. These include phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, fatty acids, lignans, steroids, stilbenes, and triterpenoids.

How do plant hormones work?

Before we delve into the precise function of plant hormones, let's talk about the action of our anabolic steroid hormones. These are the compounds with which our plant hormones most often collaborate. Our anabolic steroid hormones can penetrate from the bloodstream through the membrane of a muscle cell into its interior. There, there are characteristic receptors in the form of proteins whose function is to bind to hormones and convert them into a factor called the transcription factor. This is the factor responsible for the initiation of anabolic processes.
