HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chamomile Extract by BulkSupplements.com
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
This product contains one active ingredient: German chamomile extract. That's it — no other actives added.
Chamomile has been used traditionally to promote relaxation and calm, though the evidence for most uses isn't yet established in our data.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for what chamomile extract actually does isn't established yet in the data we hold. Effectiveness ratings are insufficient for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), anxiety, ADHD, sexual dysfunction, and cancer-related anorexia — meaning there isn't enough reliable research to say whether it works for these purposes.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
German chamomile is generally well tolerated by most adults, but allergic reactions are a real concern for people sensitive to ragweed and related plants. Reactions can range from mild (sneezing, itchy eyes) to severe, including anaphylaxis in rare cases.
Topically, it may cause allergic skin reactions and eczema. As an oral rinse, it has caused nausea and mouth burning in some people.
During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety data — the safety information advises against it unless your doctor approves. While breastfeeding, the safety data is limited, so check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check warfarin (blood thinner) or any CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, tranquilizers) you take with your doctor or pharmacist. Also mention oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, liver enzyme substrates, or tamoxifen.
No interactions are documented in our data for ingredients we could not check, because this product has only one ingredient, which we have checked.
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.
If you take warfarin, sedative medications, or medications metabolized by your liver, you need to clear this with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. If you're allergic to ragweed or related plants, steer clear.
For most other healthy adults with no drug interactions, chamomile is generally well tolerated — just be aware that the evidence for what it actually does isn't established yet.
Educational only — not medical advice; always confirm with your pharmacist. Our editorial policy · How we use AI
Assessment coverage: 1 of 1 active ingredient matched to our full ingredient reviews (monographs). Based on the product label dated Aug 23, 2021.
This Scorecard evaluates available label information, ingredient evidence, and known medication-safety considerations. It does not independently verify product identity, purity, potency, contamination, or manufacturing quality. How these ratings are computed

Chamomile Extract by BulkSupplements.com Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Chamomile Extract by BulkSupplements.com contains German chamomile, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with warfarin (a blood thinner used to prevent clots): one case report describes a patient who developed serious bleeding after drinking chamomile tea while taking warfarin, with a very high clotting time result.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
German chamomile may also have additive effects with CNS depressants (medications like sedatives, sleep aids, and tranquilizers) because it has mild sedative properties itself. Additionally, it may slow how your body breaks down certain drugs: in lab studies, chamomile has inhibited three liver enzymes (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4) that clear many common medications, which could theoretically raise their levels in your bloodstream — though this hasn't been confirmed in actual patients yet.
Large amounts of German chamomile may also reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy (estrogen), and it may interfere with tamoxifen (a cancer drug). Altogether, these interactions span 961 individual medications.

In vitro, German chamomile has demonstrated antiestrogenic activity. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of German chamomile might interfere with contraceptive drugs through competition for estrogen receptors.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP2C9 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro evidence shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 in patients taking German chamomile.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP2D6 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro evidence shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP2D6. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 in patients taking German chamomile.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP3A4 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro evidence shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP3A4. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 in patients taking German chamomile.
Estrogens
Theoretically, large amounts of German chamomile might reduce the effectiveness of estrogens.
In vitro, German chamomile has demonstrated antiestrogenic activity. Theoretically, large amounts of German chamomile might interfere with hormone replacement therapy through competition for estrogen receptors.
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)
Theoretically, large amounts of German chamomile might interfere with the activity of tamoxifen.
In vitro, German chamomile has demonstrated antiestrogenic activity.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
German chamomile might increase the effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding.
In one case, a 70-year-old female taking warfarin developed retroperitoneal hematoma and bilateral recti muscle bleeding along with an INR of 7.9 following ingestion of German chamomile tea 4-5 cups daily and use of a topical chamomile-based lotion applied 4-5 times daily.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP1A2 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro and animal research shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking German chamomile.
