got me worried that high hops intake for a long time could increase Human Growth Hormone (HGH), but decrease Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1).
After more reading, I'm not too worried any more about having enough Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and too little Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). "Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is mainly secreted by the liver as a result of stimulation by growth hormone (GH)":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin-like_growth_factor
Why do we need it in NBE? "It plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults":

On the same wikipedia page, this sentence suggests cheese and protein are dietary sources: "In rat experiments the amount of IGF-1 mRNA in the liver was positively associated with dietary casein and negatively associated with a protein free diet".
There is also a sentence supporting the idea that our breasts will make IGF-1 themselves: "IGF-1 is produced primarily by the liver as an endocrine hormone as well as in target tissues in a paracrine/autocrine fashion. Production is stimulated by growth hormone (GH)..."
GorgeousBlonde looked into this idea before,

"These circumstances urged us to perform this pilot study using a non-invasive method that involved the application of 17β-estradiol as it is known that estradiol enhances expression of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) which can promote growth in breast tissue".
Since hops digests to 17β-estradiol and increases HGH, I think the hops will do for the winter months. Maybe, for more HGH, I'll add L-arginine, like our 1"-a-month duo MydreamisGcup and IdreamofD, or L-glutamine, like lled34aa.
