HelloPharmacist Scorecard of California Poppy Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: California poppy aerial parts extract, in a liquid form with glycerin and water. California poppy has been used traditionally to support relaxation and sleep, though the scientific evidence backing these uses remains limited.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: anxiety, stress, and sleep support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Insomnia, Nocturnal enuresis, nervous tension, restlessness.
  • The closest evidence on file: California Poppy is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: California Poppy is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Nocturnal enuresis.

The evidence for California poppy isn't established yet. For anxiety, insomnia, and nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research so far hasn't been robust enough to say.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient California Poppy

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

California poppy is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though human safety data are limited. When used on its own, we don't have much information about side effects.

In combination with hawthorn and magnesium, a small number of people reported muscular stiffness, morning fatigue, and nausea, though it's unclear whether California poppy itself was responsible. Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding: there isn't enough safety data to know either way.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — California Poppy.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

California Poppy Alcohol Free may be worth considering if you're exploring herbal support for relaxation or sleep, but the scientific evidence for these uses is still limited. If you take any sedating medications — sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, opioids, or others that slow your brain — check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product, since it may boost their sedative effects.

Chat with your own healthcare provider to see if it fits your situation.

California Poppy Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does California Poppy Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, California Poppy Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
California Poppy Alcohol Free contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on a sleep medication?
Not without checking first. California poppy has sedative effects and might boost how much a sleep medication slows your brain down, raising the risk of excessive drowsiness. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your specific medication and whether this product is safe to combine with it.
Does California poppy actually work for sleep or anxiety?
The scientific evidence so far is insufficient to say either way. California poppy has been used traditionally for these purposes, but we don't have enough reliable research to rate how well it works. You'd want to talk with your doctor about whether it's worth trying for your situation.
What side effects might I experience?
We don't have much data on side effects from California poppy alone. In studies where it was combined with hawthorn and magnesium, a few people reported muscular stiffness, morning fatigue, and nausea — but it's unclear whether California poppy was the cause.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and interested in this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist to weigh the unknowns and decide what's best for you.
How long is it safe to use?
California poppy is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though human safety data overall are limited. For longer use or if you have questions about how long is right for you, check with your pharmacist or doctor.
