Key Findings
- Researchers at the Naval Medical University found that Xanthohumol (XAN) from hops can reduce joint swelling and inflammation in gouty arthritis
- XAN improved bone health by promoting bone formation and reducing bone resorption in rats with gouty arthritis
- The study suggests XAN could be a safer and effective treatment for gout, especially for patients with other chronic conditions
