I'm still wondering whether I'm not taking too much flax. In the publication I linked above, the people got twice as much SDG as isoxanthohumol.
Hops pellets contain 0.62 g isoxanthohumol per 100 g:

The numbers for dried hops are not very different.
Whole flax seeds contain between 6.1 and 13.3 mg/g secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG):
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf0005871
That's between 0.61 and 1.33 g per 100 g, or on average 0.97 g.
That means my flax dose should be 2 * 0.62 / 0.97 = 1.3 times higher than my hops dose, or 1.3 * 2,500 = 3,300 mg, and not the 30,000 I'm taking now.
Eve M took 1,800 mg hops and 1,000 mg linseed and 800 mg oats. So I'll finish my current experiment with equal doses of flax and oats, and then decrease both flax and oats.
