Verfasser: yogesh on Thursday, 6 December 2018The curative powers of botanicals have been a subject of constant study given the growing number of critical issues plaguing human health coupled with the need for safe and effective treatment options. A recent study throws light on the restorative powers of hops extract in addressing women’s health issues – more specifically in the alleviation of symptoms pertaining to menopause including hot flashes, anxiety, and night sweats. While traditional hormone replacement therapy is currently the most preferred treatment option for reducing menopause symptoms, women are moving towards botanical alternatives such as hops extract as a natural cure. While hops extract is known to lessen the symptoms of menopause in women based on anecdotal evidence, newer studies suggest hops extract could have potential cancer fighting properties.
Hops extract comprises a multitude of bioactive compounds with biological targets such as xanthohumol that induces detoxification enzyme synthesis, protecting women from cancerous growths resulting from an over-exposure to estrogen; and 8-prenylnaringenin that inhibits the enzyme aromatase – a target in several U.S FDA approved drugs prescribed for breast cancer. Xanthohumol present in hops extract is a potential cancer prevention compound and is known to be good for both pre- and post-menopausal health in women. With its estrogenic effect, 8-prenylnaringenin provides relief from the symptoms of menopause to women in the post-menopausal phase.
