What is 10:1 Hop Extract?

Hop Extract (10:1) from EssentialSeries is a food supplement made from hops.

HSN's hop extract is developed from the hop flower, a climbing plant known for the use of its flowers in beer production and for their nutritional properties.

Our extract is highly concentrated and standardised to its most distinctive compounds.

High Concentration and Standardisation

What does 10:1 mean?

The numbers found on plant extracts refer to the 'extraction ratio', which indicates how concentrated the extract is compared to the raw material.

Our 10:1 hop extract means the flowers have been concentrated 10 times in the extract compared to their natural state, which is ideal, as each convenient capsule provides 100mg of extract, delivering the functional benefits of no less than 1g of native hop flower.

What are flavones and why are they important?

Hop flavones are polyphenolic compounds naturally present in its flowers.

Precise and optimal dosage

We’ve formulated our product with 100mg of highly concentrated hop extract, offering a consistent and relevant intake.

Clean Label in Plant-Based Capsules

Our hop extract has been developed following a 'Clean Label' formulation system that emphasises transparency and simplicity: our hop extract is free from unnecessary additives, such as colourings or preservatives. HSN’s commitment to simple yet effective compositions responds to a clear need for supplements with clearly identifiable ingredients and no superfluous components, just what you're looking for.

Additionally, the use of plant-based capsules ensures suitability for those following vegan or vegetarian diets, as well as for people who avoid animal-derived ingredients for personal or cultural reasons. The capsules are made with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant polymer known for its strength and easy disintegration, helping preserve the extract’s integrity without compromising on quality or adding unnecessary compounds.

Benefits of Hop Extract

Additionally, hop extract is especially interesting when it comes to women’s wellbeing. It helps maintain a calm and comfortable menopause, and supports the management of common menopausal symptoms like hot flushes, sweating, restlessness, and irritability. Thanks to its specific composition, it can be a helpful supplement for women seeking support during this natural phase of life, promoting overall balance with ease.

On the other hand, hop also offers benefits for digestive health and metabolism. It supports digestion and contributes to proper intestinal function, making it a useful ingredient for those wanting to maintain digestive comfort. It also helps maintain normal cholesterol levels, ideal for anyone looking to support their daily wellbeing through food supplements based on natural plant extracts.

Who is Hop Extract recommended for?

Hop extract is especially recommended for women going through menopause, as it may help improve this stage of life.

It is also suitable for those looking to use natural antioxidants, in particular people exposed to high oxidative stress, such as athletes.

It may also be of interest to those wanting to support their digestive function, such as workers and entrepreneurs who often eat in a rush or away from home; as well as older adults who want to look after their cholesterol levels.

Thanks to our plant-based capsule formulation, the extract is suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets.

Combinations with other HSN products

There are many possible and recommended combinations with hop extract, but the 3 most common and sensible ones are:

•  Lemon Balm Extract: Especially used in combination at night, before sleep.
•  Soy Isoflavones: Ideally used by women in menopause.
•  Magnesium: Any magnesium salt is the perfect combination for anyone, especially athletes, alongside hops.
