Sapporo beer said to ease hay fever symptoms
Tuesday, September 12

TOKYO — Sapporo Breweries Ltd and Sapporo Beverages Co Ltd said Monday that Sapporo beer is effective in mitigating hay fever symptoms. Hop flavonol glycoside extracted from the beer prevents histamine, an allergy-inducing substance, the company said.

Sapporo Group conducted a clinical trial of 20 patients with hay fever symptoms and found that 60% them noted less sneezing and 55% noted less runny nose with significant improvements on their symptom-medication scores. Sapporo has filed a patent application based on the effect of beer on hay fever symptoms. Sapporo said it will explore the effect of beer on atopy and allergy symptoms related to house dust.
