You're welcome, Jean.
And good morning, Susan,
Thank you for the research file. I found the entry about hair, and it's the first time I read hops helps against hair loss, and accelerates regrowth. My experience with hops and minoxidil together is good too, but it's good to know I'm not the only one.
I don't know for sure if hops inhibits 5α-reductase type 1 or type 2, but I think it's type 1. Type 1 causes acne:

Hops helps against acne, so it must inhibit type 1. Type 2 is active in the prostate, and I never read hops is particularly effective in prostate health.
