I have been wondering the same thing! I'm unable to tolerate hops. I can't take even just one 350mg capsule without getting a migraine and very extreme tiredness within an hour. And I definitely don't need the added push toward depression, as that tends to be an issue for me naturally. I used to think it was the fenugreek that was giving me the the feeling of being overly tired and the horrible headaches but after I tried herbs this last time, I realized it was the hops. I don't know whether it's an intolerance to the herb itself or whether it does crazy things to my hormones very quickly and that causes the headaches... Either way, it's out for me. That was one thing that made me feel like individual herbs may not work for me, since I can't take hops, even in small amounts. I will watch for replies on this one! I suspect Isabelle may be giving her input here pretty soon!
