I was really surprised by the high weight loss of hops upon drying, so I double checked it, and it's true:

Well, for me, that's a big surprise, after almost a year on this forum
It doesn't make a difference in the comparison with other programs that use dried hops, like Eve M's, or my old formula. But it does make a difference for Karen's extract - she might as well drink the whole bottle - and for prof. Denis de Keukeleire's work. I wrote about his dose here:

I compared it with hops pellets, and I don't know what the water content of those is. But if they contain as much water as the fresh hops, the dose in de Keukeleire's cosupplementation study is only 60 mg dried hops, or 50 times lower than mine. Even if the pellets are dry, it's still 5 times lower.
I wrote previously that they may have overdosed the soy 20 times. But now it turns out that their soy dose could have been about right, and their hops dose way low. The upside is that I can take more soy without stalling, and that the dose in my first flax experiment, 30 g, was not a stalling dose either.
Never too old to learn. I mean, really learn. I should never have used a guess number for the evaporation weight loss without checking
