Calming & Sleep‑Friendly
Hops have a long history of use for relaxation and sleep support. This formulation is designed to showcase that gentle, wind‑down profile without next‑day heaviness.
Self‑Nanoemulsifying Delivery (SNEDDS)
Humulus lupulus — Advanced Hop Extract
A modern SNEDDS formulation of Humulus lupulus (Common Hops) engineered for consistent dispersion and efficient uptake. Designed to highlight hops’ traditional calming profile while supporting broader antioxidant and wellness applications.
Botanical: Hop cones
Standardized extract
Solubilization-first design
No artificial colors
SNEDDS Technology
Self‑nanoemulsifying systems form fine droplets when mixed with GI fluids, helping fat‑soluble hop constituents disperse consistently across varied meal states.
Broad Botanical Spectrum
Delivers a standardized hop extract featuring known constituents (e.g., xanthohumol, humulone/lupulone, 8‑prenylnaringenin) alongside supportive terpenes and polyphenols.
Science Snapshot
Emerging research explores hops across several domains: sedative/anxiolytic and sleep‑promoting properties; antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory activity; metabolic and microbial pathways; enzyme interactions (e.g., acetylcholinesterase, α‑amylase, urease); and phytoestrogenic modulation. Evidence quality and human relevance vary by endpoint. Claims below are descriptive, not diagnostic or curative.

Ingredient Architecture
Core Extract
- Hops (Humulus lupulus) standardized cone extract
- Constituent focus: prenylated flavonoids (e.g., xanthohumol), bitter acids (humulone/lupulone)
- Botanical ID and quality confirmed via supplier CoA
SNEDDS System
- Self‑emulsifies upon contact with GI fluids
- Supports consistent dispersion independent of fed/fasted state
- Built from food‑grade oil and surfactant components
How to Use
Suggested Protocol
- Begin with the lowest effective serving in the evening.
- Take with water; food is optional.
- Allow 45–60 minutes to assess relaxation effects before bedtime.
Individual response varies. Do not combine with alcohol or sedatives.

FAQ
What is SNEDDS?
SNEDDS stands for Self‑Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System. It is a blend of oil and surfactant components that spontaneously forms a fine emulsion in the gastrointestinal tract, helping disperse lipophilic compounds more consistently.
Will it make me sleepy?
Many people use hops in the evening for wind‑down and sleep support. Sensitivity varies; start low and assess personal response. Do not combine with alcohol or sedatives.
Is this estrogenic?
Hops contain prenylated flavonoids (e.g., 8‑prenylnaringenin) with phytoestrogenic activity. Effects depend on dose, metabolism, and context. Consult a clinician if you have hormone‑sensitive conditions.
Vegan or allergen‑free?
The base formulation uses plant‑derived excipients and contains no major allergens intentionally added. Always verify the current lot specification and softgel material (if applicable).
