Benefits：

Anti-oxidation

German scientists have shown that Xanthohumol can scavenge oxygen free radicals in the body. It is several times more than other antioxidants. It is more anti-oxidative than VE and 200 times more powerful than resveratrol. It is one of the strongest antioxidants known. It can effectively remove harmful free radicals in human body and delay skin aging. Test results indicate that the antioxidant properties of Xanthohumol can be enhanced when it is combined with citric acid, sodium citrate and vitamin C.

Whitening skin

Xanthohumol inhibits the expression of tyrosinase and related enzymes to stop melanin formation induced by xanthine. Thereby it can exert skin-whitening effect.

Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammation

Xanthohumol can inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, so it has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. It can kill bacteria, viruses and fungi. Studies have suggested that Xanthohumol and isoxanthohumol can fight against cytomegalovirus, herpes HSV-1 and HSV-2 viruses. And the effect of Xanthohumol is significantly stronger than that of isoxanthohumol. It can relieve skin acne problem.
