- A 2020 human pharmacokinetic study found that twice-daily dosing of a standardized hop extract over two weeks was absorbed and metabolized into abundant phase II conjugates detectable in serum, with no clinically relevant effect on major drug-metabolizing enzymes. PubMed
- A 2018 randomized crossover trial in healthy men and women found that 8-prenylnaringenin, a prenylated flavonoid from hops, reached significantly higher blood concentrations than its positional isomer after a single oral dose — suggesting the specific prenylated form of hops flavonoids may meaningfully affect how much reaches circulation.
