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.

Cubeb Alcohol Free contains one active ingredient: cubeb fruit extract in dry form. This liquid supplement delivers that extract in a base of glycerin and water — no added alcohol, as the name suggests.

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 Cubebs product and its label doesn't state a use — see Cubebs'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.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for cubeb fruit extract. The evidence for how well it works isn't established in our data.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Cubeb is probably fine in small amounts as a culinary spice, but the safety of medicinal doses and cubeb essential oil isn't well studied. Because there isn't enough safety data, the safety information advises against using medicinal amounts during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant or nursing and thinking about this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

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

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Cubeb Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient supplement, but it may affect how your liver handles certain medications and could reduce the effectiveness of stomach acid–lowering drugs. If you take any prescription medication — especially cholesterol drugs, antibiotics, heart meds, or acid reducers — check with us or your pharmacist before starting.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip this unless your provider says it's okay.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Several compounds isolated from cubebs can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in vitro. So far, this effect has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, cubebs might increase the effects and side effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. These include lovastatin (Mevacor), clarithromycin (Biaxin), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), diltiazem (Cardizem), estrogens, indinavir (Crixivan), triazolam (Halcion), and numerous others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antacids

Theoretically, due to reports that cubebs increases stomach acid, cubebs might decrease the effectiveness of antacids.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
H2-Blockers

Theoretically, due to reports that cubebs increases stomach acid, cubebs might decrease the effectiveness of H2-blockers. The H2 blockers include cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), nizatidine (Axid), and famotidine (Pepcid).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)

Theoretically, due to reports that cubebs increases stomach acid, cubebs might decrease the effectiveness of PPIs. PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix), and esomeprazole (Nexium).
