HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hops 200 mg by Eclectic Herb

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 11, 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.

Hops 200 mg contains one active ingredient: freeze-dried hops — a botanical with a long history in herbal medicine. The capsule also contains hypromellose, a common inactive ingredient that forms the capsule wall.

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 Hops's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports relaxation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Insomnia, Menopausal symptoms, stress, sleep quality, restlessness.
  • The closest evidence on file: Hops is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Hops is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Menopausal symptoms.

The evidence we have for hops doesn't yet support its use for any specific condition. Our data rates hops as having insufficient evidence for age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, upset stomach (dyspepsia), and insomnia.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research we hold isn't conclusive enough to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hops

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.

Hops is generally well tolerated in the short term but commonly causes drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best to avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding — safety is unknown, so skip it while nursing.

People exposed to hops dust occupationally have reported chronic respiratory symptoms, and a few cases of postmenopausal bleeding have been linked to supplements containing both hops and soy (though it's unclear which ingredient, if either alone, caused it).

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Hops

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 — Hops.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 864 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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take sedative medications or anti-anxiety drugs, or if you're on hormone replacement therapy. Also flag any medications your liver metabolizes, especially those processed by the CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 enzymes — your pharmacist can tell you if yours fall into those categories.

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.

Hops might appeal to you if you're exploring herbal options for sleep or anxiety, but the evidence isn't there yet. If you take sedative medications or hormone replacement therapy, talk to your pharmacist before adding hops — the interactions are real.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are reasons to skip it.

Hops, Freeze-Dried4 drug types · 863 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of hops with sedative drugs might cause additive sedation.
Some animal research shows that hops has sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of hops might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
In vitro research suggests that certain hops constituents can competitively bind to estrogen receptors. However, most hops extracts contain very small amounts of these constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Hops extract does not seem to affect the metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that flavonoid constituents of hops inhibit CYP1A2 enzyme activity. However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, does not affect levels of caffeine, a CYP1A2 probe substrate.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, hops extract might alter metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates; however, this effect may not be clinically significant.
Animal research suggests that specific constituents of hops, called lupulones, can induce hepatic CYP3A4 enzyme activity. However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients with normal metabolism shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, decreases the concentration of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 probe substrate, by 7.6%. This reduction is unlikely to be clinically relevant.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

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.

Yes, drowsiness is common. Animal research confirms hops has sedative effects, so don't drive or use machinery until you see how it affects you personally.
Is hops safe to take while pregnant?
No. There isn't enough safety information, so it's best to avoid hops during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it.
Can I take hops while breastfeeding?
No. Safety is unknown while breastfeeding, so avoid it. Check with your pharmacist or doctor about alternatives if you're nursing.
