The Claim
Daily oral consumption of hop-derived supplements containing 2.04 mg xanthohumol, 1.20 mg isoxanthohumol, and 0.1 mg 8-prenylnaringenin for 5 days results in measurable accumulation of these prenylflavonoids in human breast tissue at concentrations ranging from 0.26-5.14 pmol/g for xanthohumol and 1.16-83.67 pmol/g for isoxanthohumol, demonstrating oral bioavailability and tissue accumulation in both adipose and glandular breast tissue.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When women took hop supplements every day for 5 days, the natural compounds in the hops were found in their breast tissue at measurable amounts, showing that these compounds can be absorbed by the body and stored in breast tissue.
See the scientific wording
In women taking hop-derived supplements containing 2.04 mg xanthohumol, 1.20 mg isoxanthohumol, and 0.1 mg 8-prenylnaringenin daily for 5 days, these prenylflavonoids reach breast tissue at measurable concentrations ranging from 0.26-5.14 pmol/g for xanthohumol and 1.16-83.67 pmol/g for isoxanthohumol, demonstrating that orally ingested hop compounds are bioavailable and accumulate in both adipose and glandular breast tissue.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Disposition of hop prenylflavonoids in human breast tissue.
This study gave women hop supplements with the same compounds (xanthohumol, isoxanthohumol, 8-prenylnaringenin) at the same doses for 5 days, then measured what reached their breast tissue during breast reduction surgery. They found measurable amounts of these compounds in the breast tissue - exactly what the claim says would happen.
