Isoxanthohumol is a prenylflavonoid, and it is a phytoestrogen. It is abbreviated as IX or IXN.
8-prenylnaringenin can be produced from isoxanthohumol by flora in the human intestine,[1] and by fungus in cell cultures.[2]
Prenylflavonoids are phytoestogens. This prenylflavonoid is found in hops and beer. At the concentration found in beer, it is unlikely to have an estrogenic effect in breast tissue.[3]
