What is xanthohumol? and who is bionovix.inc.?
Question:
Answers:
According to research published in a recent issue of Cancer Letters, a flavonoid found in beer appears to be a potent prostate cancer fighter.
Scientists at Oregon State University's Linus Pauling Institute have discovered that xanthohumol, a flavonoid derived from hops and found in beer, fights prostate cancer in several ways.
When xanthohumol is introduced into a prostate cancer cell culture, it causes a slowdown in the growth of those cancer cells. It also appears that xanthohumol triggers apoptosis, or cell death, in healthy prostate cells when it is time for them to die. (Cancerous cells usually do not undergo apoptosis, so they continue to replicate.)
Further research is needed to determine if xanthohumol works in the human body the same way as it does in a cell culture, so definitive answers are still a while away. Only then might it be possible for drug companies to develop xanthohumol as medication.
