HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chamomile Flower 700 mg by Nature's Way

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 12, 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: German chamomile flower at 700 mg per capsule. Chamomile is a flowering plant traditionally used to promote relaxation.

The capsule also contains hypromellose, an inactive ingredient that serves as the capsule material.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see German Chamomile's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: traditionally used to calm restlessness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Insomnia, Stress, Relaxation.
  • The closest evidence on file: German Chamomile is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: German Chamomile is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Insomnia.

The evidence we hold does not establish how well chamomile works for any of the conditions listed—hay fever, cancer-related loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, and ADHD all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the research we have isn't robust enough to say whether it's effective for these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient German Chamomile

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.

Chamomile is generally well tolerated by most adults. The main concern is allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants—severe reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported in rare cases.

Topical use can cause allergic skin reactions and eczema, and as an oral rinse some people have experienced nausea and mouth burning. During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety data, so it's best avoided unless your doctor approves.

While breastfeeding, safety data are limited—check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient German Chamomile

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 — German Chamomile.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 961 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 start, double-check with your pharmacist if you take warfarin or any blood thinner—this is the most serious concern. Also important: CNS depressants (sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, sedating pain relievers), any drug metabolized by liver enzymes CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 (a very long list), birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, or tamoxifen.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Chamomile tea or capsules appeal to many people looking for relaxation, but if you take warfarin, sedating medications, or drugs metabolized by your liver, this product needs a careful check first. Pregnant people should avoid it unless a doctor gives the go-ahead.

Run your medications through our checker, and talk to your pharmacist if you're on anything that might be affected.

Chamomile Flower 700 mg by Nature's Way: Common Questions

Does Chamomile Flower 700 mg by Nature's Way interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chamomile Flower 700 mg has a known interaction with 962 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chamomile Flower 700 mg 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.
Will chamomile make me drowsy?
Chamomile has mild sedative effects. On its own it's usually mild, but if you take sleep aids or other sedating drugs, the effects could add up. If you're sensitive or taking other medications, start cautiously and see how you respond.
Can I take this if I'm on birth control?
In theory, large amounts of chamomile might reduce how well birth control works because of its antiestrogenic activity, but this hasn't been confirmed in humans. It's still worth mentioning to your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you're relying on contraception.
I'm allergic to ragweed. Should I avoid this?
Yes. Chamomile is botanically related to ragweed, and people with ragweed sensitivity are at higher risk for allergic reactions to chamomile, including severe ones. Skip it and talk to your doctor about alternatives.
Is chamomile safe during pregnancy?
There isn't enough reliable safety data, so it's best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically approves it. Talk with your doctor before starting if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Does this actually work for anxiety?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say whether chamomile reliably helps anxiety. If you're looking to treat anxiety, discuss it with your doctor—there are treatments with clearer evidence behind them.
What if I have an allergic reaction?
Stop taking it right away. Allergic reactions to chamomile can range from mild itching and watery eyes to severe reactions like anaphylaxis. If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or severe symptoms, seek emergency care immediately.
