there is literature that supports the use of hops to help balance hormone levels. It has been reported to help to convert testosterone to estrogen. This may be helpful in PCOS and in adolescent acne. I have personally seen it work well in helping to balance hormone levels. I would suggest taking indole 3 carbinol and or broccoli in conjunction with hops to help keep the estrogen of the healthier type.
