Beer is a source of many compounds not only for human nutrition but also for human health [3]. The polyphenols in beer due to their antioxidative features could contribute together with other dietary sources of polyphenols to protection from degenerative changes in the human body and so protect from diseases by moderate beer consummation. They have anticarcinogenic and antifungicide activities [3]. There is also a group of isofl avonoids in beers whose phytoestrogenic effects are now studied [4, 5].<ref name=keljur>Kellner V, Jurková M, Čulík J, Horák T, Čejka P.

Many biological effects and health benefits have been associated with flavonoid consumption, although these effects may be related to their ability to modulate cell-signaling rather than their antioxidant activity (Williams, Spencer, & Rice-Evans, 2004).<ref name=quival>Quifer-Rada P, Vallverdú-Queralt A, Martínez-Huélamo M, Chiva-Blanch G, Jáuregui O, Estruch R, Lamuela-Raventós R.
