Hi Susan,
I don't know if melatonin is good or bad for NBE. The 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol in hops binds to the melatonin receptor, which is why hops makes you sleepy, but I don't know if activating the receptor helps or slows NBE.
A lot of herbs increase HGH, hops too. That is because high HGH is a consequence of high estrogens or testosterone. Whenever sex hormones decide something's gotta grow, they will increases HGH. In turn, high IGF-1 is a consequence of high HGH. IGF-1 is short for Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1. That means it is like insulin in some way, but I don't know if that means that high insulin is either good or bad for growth.
