HelloPharmacist Scorecard of HerbalNutrition Chamomile by The Professional Series

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: German chamomile herbal extract. Chamomile is a flowering plant traditionally used for relaxation and sleep support.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—gelatin, rice protein, cellulose, and vegetable stearate—which help form and stabilize the capsule.

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: Stress, anxiety, and relaxation support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Insomnia, Stress, Sleep quality, Nervous tension.
  • 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 doesn't establish that German chamomile works for anxiety, hay fever, sexual dysfunction, ADHD, or loss of appetite from cancer. All of these uses are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

If you're considering this product for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the science 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.

German chamomile is generally well tolerated in most adults, but allergic reactions are possible—especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants. Reactions have ranged from mild (itching, sneezing, watery eyes) to severe (anaphylaxis).

Topically, it may cause skin irritation or burning in the mouth. Because there isn't enough reliable safety data, German chamomile should be avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor approves, and you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it while breastfeeding.

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 taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you take warfarin (or other blood thinners), CNS depressants (sedatives, some pain relievers), oral contraceptives, estrogen replacement therapy, or tamoxifen. Also verify any drugs your liver breaks down, since German chamomile may raise their levels.

Use the medication checker on this page to be sure.

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.

This product may be worth considering if you're looking for traditional chamomile support and have no drug interactions. However, because it interacts with blood thinners, sedatives, birth control, hormone therapy, and cancer drugs—plus potentially many others processed by your liver—check your medications with the tool on this page first.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor before starting.

HerbalNutrition Chamomile by The Professional Series: Common Questions

Does HerbalNutrition Chamomile by The Professional Series interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, HerbalNutrition Chamomile has a known interaction with 960 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
HerbalNutrition Chamomile 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 allergic to ragweed?
You should be cautious. German chamomile can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants, sometimes severely. If you have a ragweed allergy, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Is chamomile safe during pregnancy?
There isn't enough reliable safety data, so it's best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically approves. Talk to your doctor or midwife if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I use this while breastfeeding?
Limited safety data exist for breastfeeding, so check with your doctor or pharmacist first. They can help you weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
What side effects might I notice?
Allergic reactions are the main concern, ranging from itching and watery eyes to severe reactions in rare cases. If taken as a tea, some people report nausea or a burning sensation in the mouth. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop and contact your pharmacist.
Does this product actually work for anxiety or sleep?
The evidence we hold isn't strong enough to confirm that chamomile works for anxiety or other uses listed here. We have insufficient reliable evidence for all of them, so talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense for your needs.
