If you do use hops plants, it is only the cones (strobiles) from the female plants that have the chemical you want. The male plants aren't of any use to NBE. 8-prenylnaringin is the active chemical that is the phyto-estrogen.
That's important of course if you use the plants. I take them as pills or pressed together and assume I have the right female 'version'. At least my breast is growing so it should come from something...
How does one identify the female plant and the cones (strobiles) please?
The female plants have breasts and soft curves
