 Benefits of hops:

Sleep Aid: Certain compounds found in hops, such as xanthohumol, have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties in laboratory studies. Inflammation is associated with various chronic diseases, and substances with anti-inflammatory effects may contribute to overall health.

Antioxidant Activity: Hops contain antioxidants, including polyphenols, which can help combat oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants play a role in protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Menopausal Symptoms: Some studies suggest that hops may have estrogenic effects and could potentially be beneficial in managing menopausal symptoms in women. However, more research is needed to establish the safety and efficacy of hops for this purpose.

Digestive Health: Hops have been traditionally used to address digestive issues. The bitter acids in hops may stimulate the production of gastric juices and aid in digestion.

Potential Anti-Cancer Properties: Some research has explored the potential anticancer properties of compounds found in hops, such as xanthohumol. These studies are still in the early stages, and more research is required to determine the extent of hops' role in cancer prevention.
