HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hops 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection
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 supplement contains one active ingredient: hops flower extract at 450 mg per capsule. Hops has been used traditionally to support sleep and calm, though clinical evidence for most uses isn't firmly established.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that hops is effective for any of its common uses — age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, indigestion, or insomnia all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean hops doesn't work; it means the research either isn't there yet or isn't strong enough for us to rate it.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether hops makes sense for what you're hoping to treat.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Hops is generally well tolerated over short periods but may make you drowsy — don't drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't have solid data on what happens if you take it for months or years.
The data advises against hops during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety information. We also have no safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.
If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking hops if you're on sedative medications or sleep aids (Moderate severity) — the combination could cause too much drowsiness. If you're on hormone replacement therapy (Moderate), ask whether hops could interfere with it.
Minor interactions are documented with certain liver-metabolized drugs, so run your full medication list through the checker on this page.
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.
Hops may be worth trying if you're interested in a traditional sleep or calming aid and your doctor gives the go-ahead — but the clinical proof isn't solid yet. If you take sedative medications, hormone replacement therapy, or drugs metabolized by your liver, you'll want to check your exact medications with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Long-term use hasn't been well studied, so this is best treated as a short-term option until we know more.

Hops 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Hops 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection does interact with medications.
The main concern is with sedative drugs (CNS depressants) — hops has sedative effects of its own, and taking it alongside sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, or other drugs that depress the central nervous system could add together and cause excessive drowsiness.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Hops may also interfere with hormone replacement therapy (estrogens). Although most hops supplements contain only small amounts of the compounds thought to compete for estrogen receptors, large amounts taken long-term could theoretically reduce how well your hormones work.
Hops appears to have minor effects on how your liver processes certain medications metabolized through the CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 pathways, but clinical studies suggest these effects may not be strong enough to matter in practice.
Altogether, these interactions span 864 individual medications. Before you start hops, run your exact prescriptions through the checker on this page.

For each ingredient in Hops 450 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Hops
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of hops with sedative drugs might cause additive sedation.
Some animal research shows that hops has sedative effects.
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.
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.
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.
