HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lullaby by Herb Stop

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Lullaby contains three active ingredients: fennel seed extract, German chamomile flower extract, and spearmint leaf extract—each chosen for relaxation and sleep support. These are delivered in a liquid form with glycerin and orange blossom hydrosol as inactive ingredients (the carriers and stabilizers that make up the rest of the product).

Does it work?

Moderate 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Dysmenorrhea — rated "Possibly Effective" (Fennel) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for these ingredients as a sleep aid is not established in the data we hold. Fennel seed extract is rated possibly effective for period pain (dysmenorrhea), but evidence for anxiety and other conditions is insufficient.

German chamomile and spearmint leaf extract both lack reliable evidence for the conditions listed in our data—including anxiety, cognitive function, and others—so we cannot say whether this combination will help you sleep.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Fennel German Chamomile Spearmint

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Fennel seed extract is generally well tolerated as a food, though concentrated supplements need more caution; the most common side effects are stomach discomfort, sun sensitivity, and allergic reactions, and rarely, seizures have been reported. German chamomile is also generally well tolerated but can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants, and severe reactions including anaphylaxis have occurred in rare cases.

Spearmint leaf extract is well tolerated orally, though allergic skin reactions and swelling in the mouth have been reported in sensitive individuals. During pregnancy, fennel is rated possibly unsafe due to its hormone-like effects and limited safety data; German chamomile and spearmint have insufficient safety data in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

While breastfeeding, the safety data for all three ingredients is limited—fennel and German chamomile are not well studied at medicinal doses, and spearmint data is sparse, so check with your doctor or pharmacist.

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Fennel, Spearmint, German Chamomile.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 1,171 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 Lullaby, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs)—German chamomile has a documented case of increased bleeding with warfarin, and fennel may raise bleeding risk too. Also check if you're on birth control or hormone replacement therapy, as both fennel and German chamomile may reduce their effectiveness.

If you take the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (Cipro), the cancer drug tamoxifen, or any drugs metabolized by your liver (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 substrates), or sedating drugs, run those through the medication checker below before adding this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lullaby is a liquid blend of three herbal extracts that may appeal to you if you're looking for a natural sleep aid, but the evidence for effectiveness is not established in our data. Because all three ingredients interact with multiple medications—including blood thinners, birth control, liver-metabolized drugs, and others—you'll want to check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any prescription drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)

Theoretically, fennel might decrease the levels and clinical effects of ciprofloxacin.

Animal research shows that fennel reduces ciprofloxacin bioavailability by nearly 50%, possibly due to the metal cations such as calcium, iron, and magnesium contained in fennel. This study also found that fennel increased tissue distribution and slowed elimination of ciprofloxacin.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might decrease the effects of contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.

Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Fennel Seed Extract full monograph & interactions

Spearmint leaf extract2 drug types · 579 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, spearmint might alter the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research suggests that (-)-carvone, a major constituent of spearmint, has sedative effects. However, in humans, chewing spearmint-flavored gum induced arousal effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, high doses of spearmint might increase the risk of liver damage when taken with hepatotoxic drugs.
Animal research suggests that drinking spearmint tea for 30 days can increase markers of liver damage, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and cause liver degeneration and necrosis, in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Lullaby by Herb Stop: Common Questions

Does Lullaby by Herb Stop interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lullaby has a known interaction with 1,170 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lullaby contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Is fennel seed extract safe to take while I'm pregnant?
No—fennel is rated possibly unsafe during pregnancy due to limited safety data and hormone-like effects. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I use Lullaby while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to know either way. All three ingredients—fennel, German chamomile, and spearmint—have limited or sparse safety information for breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does German chamomile really help with sleep or anxiety?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for anxiety or sleep. German chamomile is generally well tolerated and has mild sedative effects in theory, but reliable evidence for these uses is insufficient.
Could I be allergic to this product?
Yes. All three ingredients can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people—especially those with ragweed sensitivity (for German chamomile) or people who react to related plants. Reactions range from mild (itching, rash) to severe (swelling, breathing trouble, anaphylaxis in rare cases). If you've had allergies to chamomile, fennel, or spearmint before, talk with your pharmacist.
What are the most common side effects I might notice?
Fennel commonly causes stomach discomfort, sun sensitivity, and allergic reactions. German chamomile may cause allergic reactions and rarely nausea or mouth burning. Spearmint is usually well tolerated but can cause allergic skin reactions. All side effects are more likely with concentrated supplements than food amounts.
Will Lullaby work if I take it with my blood pressure medication or other drugs?
That depends on your specific medications—this product interacts with quite a few drug types. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions, and then talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
