Hops Extract (Humulus lupulus)
Hydroalcoholic extract from hop cones. Made in a specialised laboratory in Italy with a 1:1 extraction ratio.
What is hops extract
An extract obtained from the cones (strobili) of the common hop (Humulus lupulus L.), a climbing plant with a long tradition in both brewing and European herbalism. The extraction uses a hydroalcoholic method at a 1:1 ratio, preserving the full active compound profile of the cones.
Made in a specialised laboratory in Italy. Alcohol content: 30% vol.
The plant: Common Hops (Humulus lupulus)
The common hop is a perennial climbing plant from the Cannabaceae family, found across Europe, Western Asia and North America. It can climb up to 6-8 metres, twining around trees and supports with its vigorous shoots. The cones – the female inflorescences – are the part used, recognisable by their green-golden cone shape and characteristic slightly bitter aroma.
Hops are known worldwide for their essential role in beer brewing, giving beer its distinctive bitter taste. But their history in herbalism is equally ancient. The name lupulus derives from the Latin lupus (wolf), because hops climb over surrounding plants and overwhelm them – like a wolf among sheep.
The cones are harvested between late summer and early autumn, when the active compound content is at its peak.
How to use
Dosage: 5-10 drops in a glass of water or tea, twice daily, preferably in the evening.
Tip: Shake well before use. Regular use is recommended for best results.

Where does the name "lupulus" come from?
The name derives from the Latin lupus (wolf). Hops climb over surrounding plants and overwhelm them – a behaviour that was likened to a wolf among sheep.
What are "hop cones"?
