Hi Big Dave,
Thank you for the link.
Black pepper enhances the bioavailability of curcumin

and of other phytochemicals by blocking two metabolic enzymes in the liver and the intestines, aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and UDP-glucuronyl transferase:

I'm a bit cautious. I need enzymes to metabolize xanthohumol to 8-prenylnaringenin. I'll check if those two enzymes take part in that conversion.
