From Ben:

 

Lastly I dove into one of the antimicrobial studies with Matured Hops Bitter Acids and wanted to provide some additional notes as I didn't have a clear answer for you on the show:

 

Antimicrobial Properties of Trans-Isohumulones (Trans-Ishoumulones are a specific type of isomerized alpha acids, modified further to enhance stability and are part of the Isohumulone complex in Iso-Alpha)

Research indicates that trans-isohumulones, compounds derived from hops, exhibit significant antibacterial activity. These compounds work by:

• Inhibiting Harmful Bacteria: Trans-isohumulones are particularly effective against bacteria like Lactobacillus brevis.
• Enhancing Gut Health: By reducing harmful bacteria, they help maintain a balanced gut microbiome, which is crucial for digestion and overall health.

Mechanism of Action

The effectiveness of trans-isohumulones is influenced by environmental factors such as pH levels and the presence of specific ions:

• pH Levels: Their antibacterial activity increases in lower pH environments, where they remain undissociated and most effective.
• Ions: The presence of monovalent cations (like potassium and sodium) enhances their activity, while divalent cations (like magnesium) can reduce it.

Takeaways:

• ISO Alpha is a brain health supplement made from an extract of hops called isohumulones.
• The product activates the vagus nerve and modulates dopamine release, leading to improved mood, focus, and mental clarity.
• ISO Alpha increases TTR protein levels, which help remove amyloid betas and plaque buildup in the brain, potentially reducing the risk of Alzheimer's.
• The benefits of ISO Alpha may be noticed after 60-90 days of use, and it offers a subtle and calming effect. Iso-Alpha is a natural compound derived from hops that has neuroprotective effects and reduces insulin resistance.
• It stimulates the vagus nerve and has potential benefits for cognitive function, weight management, and gut health.
• While there are no specific studies on its effects on conditions like autism or ADHD, Iso-Alpha may have positive effects in these areas.
• More research is needed to fully understand the potential of Iso-Alpha, but it shows promise as a natural and effective supplement.
