Hops

Supports hormonal balance, healthy inflammation response, and may ease digestive and menopausal discomfort.

While most widely known as a key ingredient in beer, hops flowers offer a wide range of health benefits beyond brewing. Rich in bioactive compounds such as isohumulones, 8-prenylnaringenin, and xanthohumol, hops has shown promise in supporting hormonal health, inflammation balance, and even cognitive function.

Digestive & Metabolic Support

Emerging research suggests that hops may act as a gentle antispasmodic, which could help regulate bowel movements and ease digestive tension. Additionally, its active compounds may support:

• Healthy insulin response

• Normal cholesterol levels

• Weight regulation

Hormonal & Menopausal Relief

Hops is particularly helpful for women navigating hormonal changes. Studies show that its natural phytoestrogens may:

• Reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes

• Help maintain hormonal balance during menopause

• Support mood and emotional stability

Note: Due to its estrogen-like properties, hops is not recommended for individuals with estrogen-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer or endometriosis.

Nervous System & Sleep

Hops may also promote mental calm and restfulness by increasing GABA—a neurotransmitter that helps regulate the body’s stress response and supports normal sleep patterns. Preliminary research even suggests potential neuroprotective effects, with possible applications in conditions involving neuroinflammation like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.
