Fitness and well-being are often correlated with effort and sacrifice. Health, some seem to argue, comes at a personal cost. While there is no denying that positive lifestyle choices can only improve our chances of a long and productive existence, we should not forget nature’s bounty.
One of these treasures is xanthohumol, a flavonoid from hops which has a range of biological attributes of remarkable therapeutic utility. For many years, however, its innate goodness was not accessible.
Only recently, scientists in Germany have developed a natural process to harness xanthohumol’s health enhancing properties by admixing roast malt –XAN Extract.
A regular consumption of XAN Extract shields us from the undesirable effects of modern living at each stage of our lifecycle.
Xanthohumol – a new all-rounder ?
The various and quite diverse effects of xanthohumol make the presentation of its biological activities … and potential health-promoting effects … particularly interesting.
Effects of XAN Hops Extract on DNA stability
The results show that the DNA damage of lymphocytes is reduced after the consumption of a beverage containing XAN.
Impact of xanthohumol on DNA stability
Taken together, our data indicate that low doses of XN protect humans against oxidative DNA damage.
Prevention of oxidative DNA damage by xanthohumol
In the present study, Xanthohumol (XN) given to human subjects at a dose of 12 mg/day … provided protection against damage to DNA. The DNA-protective effect of XN has potentially important implications to human health since a number of human diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders are associated with damage to DNA.
I was fascinated by the stunning results of Dr. Frank (DKFZ) xanthohumol research on animals. This inspired me to frame my vision of xanthohumol’s contribution to world health – preventing the major ailments of our times - and to commit significant investments to bring this about. We remain dedicated to delivering further scientific proof on XAN’s positive health impact.
