HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Skullcap Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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: skullcap herb extract, a dried plant preparation traditionally used for relaxation and support during stressful periods. The liquid also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients (carriers and preservatives for the extract).

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Anxiety, stress, and sleep support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Stress, Insomnia, Nervous tension, Relaxation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Skullcap is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Skullcap is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress.

The evidence for skullcap isn't established in our data. The product facts list six conditions — epilepsy, stress, stroke, spasticity, contact dermatitis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder — and all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence, meaning studies either haven't been done or don't yet support a clear answer about whether it works for any of them.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Skullcap

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.

Skullcap is generally well tolerated, but the data we hold is limited. The most common side effects reported orally are cognitive impairment, digestive disturbances, and sedation — a small number of trial participants at higher doses reported sedation and cognitive impairment at 200 mg and above, and mild digestive upset occurred in around 9% of participants taking 350 mg three times daily for 2 weeks.

During pregnancy, the safety data advises against use. During breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so the data advises against it as well.

If you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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 — Skullcap.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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 you start Skullcap Alcohol Free, double-check any CNS depressants you're taking — sleep aids, sedatives, anti-anxiety medications, opioid pain relievers, and similar drugs — with your doctor or pharmacist. Skullcap can amplify their drowsy or sedating effects.

Altogether, these interactions span 248 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Skullcap Alcohol Free may appeal to you if you're interested in a traditional herbal relaxation aid, but evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. The main caution is its potential to add to drowsiness if you also take sleep aids, sedatives, or other CNS depressants — check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining it with any of those.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Run your exact medications through the tool on this page to be sure.

Skullcap Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Skullcap Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Skullcap Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Skullcap Alcohol Free 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.
What does skullcap actually do?
Skullcap is a dried herb traditionally used to support relaxation and manage stress, but the evidence for whether it actually works isn't established in the data we hold. We don't have reliable studies backing its use for stress, anxiety, epilepsy, or any of the six conditions listed in the product facts.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advises against skullcap during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
What are the side effects?
The most common ones reported are cognitive impairment (fuzziness or slowness), digestive upset, and sedation — especially at higher doses. A small number of trial participants taking 200 mg or more reported sedation and cognitive impairment, and around 9% on 350 mg three times daily reported mild digestive disturbances.
Is this safe if I take sleeping pills or anxiety medication?
That's the biggest concern with this product. Skullcap can add to drowsiness and sedation from CNS depressants like sleep aids and anti-anxiety drugs. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
What's in this besides the skullcap?
It's a liquid extract, so there's glycerin and water as carriers. Those are just there to dissolve and preserve the active herb — no extra fillers.
