Is anyone taking it? Has hops worked for any of you gals? How many do you take? I am currently doing one in the morning and just added one at night... just curious if 2 is the most that should be taken of hops?

What size hops are you taking and is it whole hops or an extract? If it's whole hops you could take a lot more than 2 capsules a day I'm sure.

Hi Zu Che,
Thanks for responding =o) I am taking Nature Ways Hops flowers 310mg for 1 capsule and 620 mg for 2 capsules. Hope that is what you were asking for, when you said "whole hops"...

Yes that's whole hops flower. You could easily take more than 2 capsules a day if you wanted to.

Zu Che, how many could be taken a day? I would think no more than 4 right?

I think it depends on the mg on the bottle. Usually you would start with a total of 1000-1500 mg of hops supplement daily. Also I would advise taking only 1 cap for two days and then increasing 1 every two days just to monitor its effects on you as its a bit of a sedative.
I'm personally not taking hops yet because its quite strong and the red clover is working on me (I think). Hope that helped

I upped it to 3 today. I hope that is ok. What kind of sedative? What does it do? I haven't experienced it yet...

Hops is used by herbalists for sleep problems as it's long been said to calm you and help you sleep. Regarding the quantity, I would say the maximum dose is 4-6 a day, depending on what's suitable for the individual.
