In the past few years, many reports on potential positive health effects of the hop compound xanthohumol have been published. It exhibits an exceptionally broad spectrum of inhibition mechanisms at all stages of carcinogenesis (2), but other interesting biological activities have been observed as well in vitro [anti-infective (3), anti-oxidative (4), anti-atherogenic (5)] and in vivo [anti-diabetic (6)].

Hopsteiner offers several different products containing Xanthohumol. These are described in our product data sheets, available on this homepage. In case you need additional information, please contact one of our offices!
