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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 16, 2026

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 seed extract, a dried form of the plant traditionally used for relaxation and sleep support. The rest is glycerin and water, which serve as the liquid base for the extract.

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 and sleep support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Insomnia, nervous tension, stress.
  • 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.

The evidence for California poppy is not yet well established. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works for anxiety, insomnia, or nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the studies we have aren't solid enough to confirm it one way or the other.

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 considered mild for short-term use, though human safety data are limited. Side effects reported when it was combined with hawthorn and magnesium include muscular stiffness, morning fatigue, and nausea—though it's unclear whether California poppy alone caused these or whether they came from the other ingredients or the mix.

Not enough safety data exist to recommend it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist if either applies to you.

Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — California Poppy.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take any CNS depressants—sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, certain pain relievers, or any drug with sedative effects—check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding California poppy. Combining them may increase drowsiness and sedation.

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 may appeal to you if you're exploring herbal options for sleep or anxiety, but the evidence for how well it works isn't clear yet. The biggest concern is mixing it with medications that make you drowsy—that combination could be too sedating.

Check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.

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.
What does California poppy actually do?
California poppy has been used traditionally to support relaxation and sleep, and lab research shows it does have sedative effects. However, we don't yet have strong enough evidence to confirm it works for anxiety, insomnia, or bedwetting in humans.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. The safety information advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What side effects has California poppy caused?
Very little side-effect data exist for California poppy alone. When combined with hawthorn and magnesium in one study, some people reported muscular stiffness, morning fatigue, and nausea—but it's unclear whether California poppy caused these or the other ingredients did.
Is this safe to take with sleep medications?
No—that's the main concern. California poppy has sedative effects, and mixing it with sleep aids or any medication that makes you drowsy could increase sedation more than either would alone. Check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Does this product contain alcohol?
No, it's alcohol-free. The base is glycerin and water.
