HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pump It Up by Happy Healthy Hippie

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
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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Pump It Up contains four active ingredients: fennel, raspberry leaf extract, motherwort, and chamomile flower extract. Three inactive ingredients — hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate — are fillers and binders that make up the capsule.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: increase milk supply and postpartum support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, galactorrhea, hypogalactia, engorgement.
  • The closest evidence on file: Fennel is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The facts we hold show fennel is possibly effective for period pain (dysmenorrhea). For the other ingredients in this product, the evidence isn't established enough to rate: raspberry leaf extract cannot be checked in our data, and motherwort and chamomile show insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they've been studied for, including anxiety, asthma, and bleeding.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Fennel Motherwort 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 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, motherwort, and chamomile are generally well tolerated when used orally in normal amounts. Fennel may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, photosensitivity (sun sensitivity), or allergic reactions — and in rare cases, seizures.

Motherwort's most common side effects are diarrhea and stomach irritation. Chamomile can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants, and may cause nausea or burning in the mouth.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: fennel is rated possibly unsafe during both pregnancy and breastfeeding because of its hormone-like effects and limited safety data. Motherwort is likely unsafe in pregnancy due to its traditional use to stimulate the uterus, and there's insufficient data for breastfeeding.

Chamomile is best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor approves, and check with your pharmacist before using while breastfeeding. There is no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file for raspberry leaf extract.

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 — Motherwort, Fennel, German Chamomile.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 1,020 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 Pump It Up, double-check your medications with your pharmacist, especially blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) — fennel and chamomile may increase bleeding risk. Also review hormonal birth control, estrogen replacement therapy, sedating medications (CNS depressants), antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, cancer drugs such as tamoxifen, and any medication your liver processes (your pharmacist can tell you if yours qualifies).

Fennel, motherwort, and chamomile all have Moderate-severity interactions with several of these 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.

Pump It Up may appeal to anyone looking into traditional herbal support, but if you take blood thinners, hormonal birth control, estrogen therapy, certain antibiotics, cancer medications, or drugs that make you drowsy, this product warrants a close look. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — bring your full medication list so they can flag any overlaps.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with them first as well.

Pump It Up by Happy Healthy Hippie: Common Questions

Does Pump It Up by Happy Healthy Hippie interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pump It Up has a known interaction with 1,019 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pump It Up contains 4 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.
Will this help with period pain?
Fennel, one of the main ingredients, is rated possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (period pain). The evidence for the other ingredients isn't strong enough to say whether they help — that data hasn't been established in our records.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. Fennel is rated possibly unsafe during pregnancy and breastfeeding because it has hormone-like effects and limited safety data. Motherwort is likely unsafe during pregnancy because it traditionally stimulates the uterus. Chamomile is best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor approves. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation — they can give you personalized advice.
What side effects might I notice?
Fennel may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, sun sensitivity, or allergic reactions. Motherwort commonly causes diarrhea and stomach upset. Chamomile can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and plants like it. Seizures with fennel and anaphylaxis with chamomile are rare but serious.
Will this make me sleepy?
Both motherwort and chamomile have mild sedative effects and can increase drowsiness, especially if you're already taking medications that make you sleepy. If you combine this product with sedating drugs, the effect could be stronger.
What is motherwort for?
Motherwort is rated possibly effective for bleeding. It's been used traditionally for anxiety and hormone-related issues, but the evidence for those uses isn't strong enough to rate them reliably.
Can I take this with birth control?
Both fennel and chamomile have estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity that theoretically might reduce how well hormonal birth control works. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them — they can advise whether it's safe for your situation.
