HelloPharmacist Scorecard of California Poppy Extract by Oregon's Wild Harvest

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.

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 has one active ingredient: California poppy, fresh. California poppy is traditionally used for relaxation and sleep support, though the evidence for those uses isn't yet established in our data.

The product also contains alcohol as an inactive ingredient, so keep that in mind if you're avoiding alcohol for any reason or taking medications affected by it.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient California Poppy product and its label doesn't state a use — see California Poppy's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for California poppy isn't established in our data for anxiety, insomnia, or nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting). That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research we have access to doesn't yet support a clear rating for those uses.

If you're considering it for one of those reasons, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence shows.

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, but human safety data are limited. When used in combination with hawthorn and magnesium, some people have reported muscular stiffness, morning fatigue, and nausea — though it's unclear whether these came from California poppy alone, the other ingredients, or the mix.

There isn't enough safety data to know whether California poppy is safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
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.

Before you take this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any CNS depressants — sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications, narcotic pain relievers, or muscle relaxers. California poppy may increase their sedative effects, which is a Moderate concern.

This product also contains alcohol, which is itself a depressant.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

California Poppy Extract may be worth considering if you're looking for support with sleep or anxiety and want to explore herbal options — just know the evidence for it isn't yet established. The main caution is if you take any sedating medications: combining them with this product could boost drowsiness.

Check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, and keep in mind this product contains alcohol.

California Poppy Extract by Oregon's Wild Harvest: Common Questions

Does California Poppy Extract by Oregon's Wild Harvest interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, California Poppy Extract 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 Extract 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 pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data aren't there yet. There isn't enough information to know if it's safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided in both cases. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
What should I know about the alcohol in this product?
This liquid extract contains alcohol as an inactive ingredient. If you're avoiding alcohol for health, religious, or personal reasons, this may not be the right choice for you. If you take sedating medications, the alcohol adds to the drowsiness risk.
Does California poppy actually help with sleep or anxiety?
The evidence in our data doesn't yet support a clear rating for either use. That doesn't prove it doesn't work — just that the research available to us isn't conclusive yet. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you more about what studies show.
What side effects has California poppy caused?
There's limited information overall. When used in a combination product with hawthorn and magnesium, some people reported muscular stiffness, morning fatigue, and nausea — but it's unclear whether those came from California poppy itself or the other ingredients in the mix.
Is this safe to use long-term?
California poppy is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but we don't have enough human safety data to say whether it's safe over the long haul. If you're thinking about using it regularly, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.
