HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hops Flower 10:1 Extract Powder 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.

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: Hops Flower Extract in a 10:1 powder form, meaning it's a concentrated version of the dried hops flower. There are no other active ingredients listed, and no inactive fillers or binders are present in this formulation.

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

The evidence we hold doesn't support or refute hops extract for the uses listed on typical product labels — anxiety, insomnia, age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, ADHD, or digestive upset (dyspepsia). All of these are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to establish whether it works.

If you're considering hops for one of these, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current research actually shows and whether it might fit your situation.

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 may cause drowsiness — don't drive or operate machinery if it makes you sleepy. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied.

Safety data during pregnancy is inadequate; the data advises against use. Breastfeeding safety is unknown, so avoid use while nursing.

Occupational exposure to hops dust is linked to chronic respiratory symptoms like dry cough and bronchitis, though this typically occurs in harvesting workers. Orally, a few cases of postmenopausal bleeding have been reported with combined hops-and-soy supplements, though it's unclear which ingredient was responsible.

Allergic skin reactions (contact dermatitis) are possible after contact with fresh hops plant or pollen.

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 doctor or pharmacist before using this if you take sedative drugs (including sleep aids, anxiety medications, or narcotic pain relievers) — hops may increase drowsiness. Hormone replacement therapy (estrogens) is a moderate concern due to potential receptor competition.

Medications metabolized by your liver through the enzymes CYP3A4 or CYP1A2 are documented in our data, though the practical effect is likely minor.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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 extract might help some people with sleep or anxiety, but the evidence is incomplete. It's a concern if you take sedatives, hormone therapy, or medications metabolized through the liver.

Drowsiness is the main short-term risk; long-term effects aren't well documented. Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your routine, especially if you're on medications.

Hops Flower Extract, Powder4 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.

Hops Flower 10:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Hops Flower 10:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Hops Flower 10:1 Extract Powder has a known interaction with 863 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Hops Flower 10:1 Extract Powder 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 hops make me drowsy?
It may — some animal research shows hops has sedative effects, and drowsiness is noted as a possible short-term side effect. If you do feel sleepy, don't drive or operate machinery. Long-term drowsiness risk isn't well studied.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No to both. There isn't enough safety information during pregnancy, so it's best avoided. Breastfeeding safety is unknown, so you should avoid it then too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and interested in hops.
What is hops flower extract used for?
Hops is often promoted for anxiety, insomnia, cognitive decline, sexual function, ADHD, and digestive upset. However, the evidence we hold rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence — meaning we don't yet know if it actually works for these purposes.
Can I take this with my hormone replacement therapy?
Theoretically hops might interfere with it by competing for estrogen receptors, though most hops extracts contain only small amounts of the active constituents. It's a moderate concern worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
Are there any other side effects besides drowsiness?
Occupational exposure to hops dust (common in harvest workers) is linked to chronic respiratory symptoms like cough and bronchitis. A few cases of postmenopausal bleeding have been reported when hops was combined with soy, though it's unclear which caused it. Allergic skin reactions are possible if you're sensitive to the pollen.
How long is it safe to take this?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you plan to take it regularly, check in with your doctor or pharmacist about how long is appropriate for you.
