Every time I calculate a dose for another phyto-estrogen from my hops dose, I end up with an impossibly low dose. I use Table 2 on the left:

But I keep forgetting that the amount of 8-prenylnaringenin in hops is very low. The amount of xanthohumol is up to ten times higher, and digestion makes more 8-prenylnaringenin from the xanthohumol. Only, this extra 8-prenylnaringenin is probably not included in the above table, because xanthohumol itself is only a very weak phyto-estrogen.
I'll keep this in mind when I evaluate my flax dose.
