HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raw Hempanol by North American Herb & Spice

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

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Raw Hempanol contains 2 active ingredients: raw, organic, CO2-extracted oregano and raw, CO2 extract from high beta caryophyllene hemp stalk. The oregano provides a concentrated form of the herb traditionally used in cooking; the hemp extract is derived from the plant stalk.

There are no inactive ingredients (fillers, binders, or other excipients) in this liquid product.

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: supports healthy neurological system.
  • We looked for evidence on: Multiple sclerosis (MS), Psychological well-being, Neuropathy, Neuroinflammation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Hemp is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Multiple sclerosis (MS) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Hemp is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Psychological well-being.

The evidence on oregano for acne, bronchitis, asthma, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections is insufficient — we don't have reliable data showing it works for those uses. Similarly, hemp extract has insufficient evidence to rate for constipation or atopic dermatitis (eczema), and for familial hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol in families with genetic predisposition).

The facts we hold don't establish effectiveness for any of the conditions listed.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Oregano Hemp

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oregano is well tolerated in food amounts, but concentrated supplements like this are less studied and carry more risk. The most common side effect when taken orally in larger amounts is gastrointestinal upset; rarely, systemic allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported in people sensitive to oregano or the Lamiaceae plant family.

Topically, oregano can cause dermatitis or irritation in sensitive individuals or in concentrations above 1%. Hemp seed foods are generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts (like this one) are less studied.

Allergic reactions to hemp seed are uncommon but have occurred, including anaphylaxis, facial swelling, and breathing trouble. A rare case of liver injury and elevated enzymes was reported in a young child given very high-dose hemp extract for seizures.

During pregnancy, medicinal oregano amounts should be avoided, though food amounts are likely fine; for hemp, concentrated extracts should be avoided due to limited safety data. While breastfeeding, oregano supplement safety isn't established — stick to food amounts — and hemp extracts are not well studied, so caution is advised.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Oregano Hemp

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Oregano, Hemp.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,019 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 Raw Hempanol, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — oregano and hemp both carry interaction risks here, with oregano at Moderate severity. If you have diabetes and take blood sugar medications, oregano may lower blood sugar further.

If you take blood pressure drugs or ACE inhibitors, hemp may add to their effect. If you take estrogen therapy, hemp may interfere with it.

Finally, if you take medications your liver processes heavily — including some statins, immunosuppressants, or antiarrhythmics — hemp may reduce their levels and effectiveness.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Raw Hempanol may be worth considering if you're interested in oregano and hemp extract for general wellness, but it's not proven effective for the specific conditions listed in our data. The two main cautions: if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, or medications processed heavily by your liver, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interactions are real and could affect how your medications work.

Also, while food-form oregano and hemp are generally safe, concentrated supplements like this are less studied, so it's not a decision to make lightly.

raw, CO2 extract from high beta Caryophyllene Hemp stalk6 drug types · 938 drugs

Estrogens

Theoretically, hemp might interfere with hormone therapy due to its estrogenic effects.
In an ovariectomized animal model, a diet containing hemp seed 1%, 2%, or 10% resulted in normalized plasma levels of 17-beta-estradiol. The mechanism of action for this effect is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Theoretically, consuming hemp seed protein isolate with ACE inhibitors might have additive effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
Hemp seed protein hydrolysate has shown ACE inhibitor-like effects in a hypertensive animal model. However, hempseed oil consumption does not seem to reduce blood pressure in humans. Until more is known, monitor blood pressure and potassium levels.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hemp seed might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
In animal research, hemp seed at 5% of the diet inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro. However, in human research, taking hemp seed oil 2 grams daily for 12 weeks does not inhibit the aggregation of platelets in vitro.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, hemp seed protein may have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
In a hypertensive animal model, hemp seed protein hydrolysate reduced systolic blood pressure by a mechanism possibly involving the inhibition of renin and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities. However, there was no effect of hemp seed protein on blood pressure in normotensive animals. Furthermore, hempseed oil consumption does not seem to reduce blood pressure in humans.

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

Theoretically, hemp might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that hemp induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

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

Theoretically, hemp might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that hemp induces CYP3A4 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, oregano might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aristolochic acid isolated from oregano leaves has antithrombin activity. It has also been reported that oregano oil inhibits arachidonic acid-induced, and ADP-induced, platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oregano might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
In vitro and animal research shows that oregano extracts might lower blood glucose levels.

Raw Hempanol by North American Herb & Spice: Common Questions

Does Raw Hempanol by North American Herb & Spice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raw Hempanol has a known interaction with 1,018 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Raw Hempanol contains 2 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 oregano in this product the same as what I cook with?
This product contains a concentrated, CO2-extracted form of oregano — much stronger than the dried herb you'd use in the kitchen. Food amounts of oregano are well tolerated, but concentrated supplements are less studied and carry more risk of side effects and interactions.
What is the hemp extract in Raw Hempanol — will it make me high?
The hemp extract is made from the plant stalk and is a CO2 extract selected for beta caryophyllene content. The facts we hold don't specify whether it contains THC or CBD or describe psychoactive effects, so we can't answer that directly. Ask the manufacturer or a pharmacist for details on its cannabinoid profile.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
Medicinal or supplement amounts of oregano should be avoided during pregnancy; food amounts are likely fine. For hemp extract, concentrated extracts should be avoided due to limited safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Raw Hempanol if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety of oregano supplements while breastfeeding isn't established — stick to normal food amounts if you can. Hemp seed foods are likely okay in normal amounts, but supplements and extracts like this one aren't well studied, so caution is advised. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common side effect is gastrointestinal upset. Rarely, allergic reactions — including rash, swelling, breathing trouble, or severe anaphylaxis — have been reported with oregano or hemp. If you have a known allergy to oregano or hemp seed, or to plants in the mint family, use caution or avoid it.
How do I know if Raw Hempanol is working?
The evidence supporting oregano and hemp extract for the conditions listed — acne, bronchitis, asthma, headache, upper respiratory infections, constipation, eczema, or cholesterol — is insufficient. We don't have reliable data showing these ingredients work for those uses, so it's unclear what benefit to expect.
