HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sleep & Relax by Gaia Herbs DailyWellness
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
Sleep & Relax contains 6 active ingredients. Passionflower leaf, valerian, lemon balm leaf extract, California poppy flower extract, lavender flowers essential oil, and marjoram essential oil are all combined in a proprietary blend—meaning you're getting a mix, but the exact dose of each one isn't broken out on the label.
Vegetable cellulose is an inactive ingredient used as a capsule material.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Passionflower and valerian are both rated Possibly Effective for insomnia and pre-procedural anxiety. Lemon balm is rated Possibly Effective for stress and depression, and also for cold sores.
Lavender is rated Possibly Effective for dysmenorrhea (period pain). California poppy and marjoram have insufficient evidence for their uses in this product—the science isn't established yet for anxiety, insomnia, or the conditions marjoram targets.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Passionflower, valerian, lemon balm, California poppy, and lavender are generally well tolerated short-term, though drowsiness is the main side effect across all of them. Passionflower and valerian advise against use in pregnancy due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus; they're also best avoided while breastfeeding.
Lemon balm and California poppy lack enough safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using either if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Lavender essential oil is toxic if swallowed and can irritate skin in some people; the safety notes advise caution with medicinal amounts in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Marjoram in medicinal amounts should be avoided during pregnancy; food amounts are likely fine. There are rare case reports of serious side effects with some ingredients—for example, a case of very slow heart rate and nausea with passionflower at high doses, and rare reports of liver inflammation with valerian-containing products—but these are uncommon.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, double-check if you take sedative drugs like benzodiazepines, sleep aids, or pain medications with sedative effects—valerian, passionflower, lemon balm, California poppy, and lavender all amplify those effects. If you take alprazolam (Xanax), valerian poses extra caution.
Check alcohol use too; valerian and these other sedating herbs can heighten alcohol's effects. Blood thinners like warfarin, clopidogrel, or enoxaparin need scrutiny because marjoram may increase bleeding risk.
Thyroid hormone replacement therapy can be interfered with by lemon balm. Finally, if you take anticholinergic drugs (like those for overactive bladder or Parkinson disease) or cholinergic drugs (like donepezil for Alzheimer disease), marjoram may reduce their effectiveness or cause unwanted effects.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may appeal to someone looking for a multi-herb approach to sleep or anxiety with ingredients that have some evidence behind them. But you'll need to check your medications first, especially if you take sedative drugs, blood thinners, thyroid medication, or any prescription for the brain or nervous system.
If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking it.

For each ingredient in Sleep & Relax with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Valerian
Alcohol (Ethanol)
Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with alcohol.
Valerian has sedative effects. Theoretically, valerian might have an additive sedative effect when combined with alcohol. Excessive sedation has been reported in an alcohol-abusing individual who took valerian and Gingko biloba. However, the potential interaction between valerian and alcohol has been disputed in other research. Limited evidence suggests that a combination of valerian 160 mg and lemon balm 80 mg (Euvegal) does not cause further deterioration in reaction ability and reaction rate when taken with alcohol as compared to the effects of alcohol alone.
Alprazolam (Xanax)
Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used with alprazolam. Also, valerian in high doses might modestly increase alprazolam levels, though this is not likely to be clinically significant.
Valerian has sedative effects. Theoretically, valerian might cause additive sedation when combined with alprazolam. Also, a small pharmacokinetic study shows that taking valerian extract 1000 mg daily (providing 11 mg valerenic acid) might increase alprazolam levels by about 19%. This might be due to valerian's mild inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Despite being statistically significant, this increase is not likely to be clinically significant.
Cns Depressants
Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with CNS depressant drugs.
Theoretically, concomitant use of valerian and drugs with sedative and anesthetic properties may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects.
Glucuronidated Drugs
Valerian might weakly inhibit glucuronidation and increase concentrations of drugs metabolized by UGT1A1 and UGT2B7.
In vitro research shows that methanolic valerian extract and valerenic acid might competitively inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1) and UGT2B7.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian affects CYP2D6, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian is unlikely to affect the CYP2D6 enzyme. In one PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days did not affect the metabolism of dextromethorphan, a CYP2D6 substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of debrisoquine, an accepted CYP2D6 probe-substrate.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian extract might inhibit or induce CYP3A4, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian does not have a clinically significant effect on the CYP3A4 enzyme. In one PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of midazolam, an accepted CYP3A4 probe-substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days modestly increases levels of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate, suggesting mild inhibition of CYP3A4. However, this mild inhibition is unlikely to be clinically relevant.
Passionflower leaf
Cns Depressants
Concomitant use of passion flower with sedative drugs might cause additive effects and side effects.
Research in animals and humans shows that passion flower has sedative effects which can be additive when used with sedative medications like lorazepam.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, passion flower might decrease the effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that passion flower can induce CYP3A4 enzymes, albeit to a much lower degree than rifampin, a known CYP3A4 inducer.
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)
Theoretically, passion flower might reduce the bioavailability of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the passion flower constituents apigenin and vitexin inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2. This inhibition may be dose-dependent. One specific high-flavonoid passion flower extract (Valverde) seems to inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2, while another extract with a lower flavonoid concentration (Arkocaps) shows less potent inhibition. OATPs are responsible for the uptake of drugs and other compounds into the body; however, the specific activities of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 are not well characterized.
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) essential oil
Anticholinergic Drugs
In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with anticholinergic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of marjoram or the anticholinergic agent.
Some anticholinergic drugs include atropine, benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), procyclidine (Kemadrin), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane).
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, marjoram might increase the risk of bleeding when used in medicinal amounts along with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Cholinergic Drugs
In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with cholinergic drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects.
Cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).
Lemon balm leaf freeze-dried extract and powder
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of lemon balm might have additive effects with CNS depressant drugs.
Lemon balm seems to have CNS depressant activity in animals and in humans.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, lemon balm might interfere with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
In vitro, constituents of lemon balm extract bind to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), preventing TSH receptor-binding and leading to the inhibition of TSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. In animals, lemon balm extract has been shown to decrease levels of circulating TSH and inhibit thyroid secretion.
California Poppy flower tops freeze-dried extract and powder
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking California poppy with drugs with sedative effects may increase the risk of sedative effects.
Laboratory research shows that California poppy has sedative effects.
Lavender flowers (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, lavender might potentiate the therapeutic effects and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Laboratory research suggests that lavender has sedative effects. However, clinical studies in patients taking oral lavender oil (Silexan) 160 mg for 10 weeks or taking lavender flower powder 1 gram daily for 2 months have not reported side effects of drowsiness, sedation, or sleepiness. There is still some concern that higher doses or different preparations of lavender might have additive effects with CNS depressant medications.
