HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Hops 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.

Wild Hops Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient supplement made from hops root extract — the dried form of the plant's underground part. Hops is a traditional herb with a long history of use.

The product contains two inactive ingredients: glycerin and water, which form the liquid base.

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: Sleep, anxiety and relaxation support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Insomnia, Menopausal symptoms, Psychological well-being, Restlessness, Sleep quality.
  • The closest evidence on file: Hops is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Hops is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Menopausal symptoms, Psychological well-being.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that hops works for any of the conditions it's traditionally used for — cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, indigestion, or insomnia all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean hops doesn't help; it means the data to prove it isn't solid enough yet.

If you're considering this product for one of these uses, talk with your pharmacist about what the current research actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hops

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.

Hops is generally well tolerated in the short term but may cause drowsiness — so don't drive or do anything that needs sharp focus right after taking it. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't know what happens with extended use.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. People harvesting hops have reported menstrual disturbances, and a few cases of postmenopausal bleeding have been linked to supplements combining hops and soy, though it's unclear which ingredient — or the combination — was responsible.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Hops

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Hops.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 864 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 Wild Hops Alcohol Free, double-check with your pharmacist if you take sedative medications or sleep aids (Moderate interaction), hormone replacement therapy or estrogen products (Moderate interaction), or drugs metabolized by your liver through the CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 pathways (Minor interactions). The medication checker below can help you search your exact drugs.

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.

This product is for people interested in traditional hops use who want to avoid alcohol. Because it can cause drowsiness and interacts with sedatives and hormone replacement therapy, check your medications first — especially if you take sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, or estrogen.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any prescription medication, talk with your pharmacist before starting.

Wild Hops Root Extract, Dry4 drug types · 863 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of hops with sedative drugs might cause additive sedation.
Some animal research shows that hops has sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of hops might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
In vitro research suggests that certain hops constituents can competitively bind to estrogen receptors. However, most hops extracts contain very small amounts of these constituents.

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

Hops extract does not seem to affect the metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that flavonoid constituents of hops inhibit CYP1A2 enzyme activity. However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, does not affect levels of caffeine, a CYP1A2 probe substrate.

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

Theoretically, hops extract might alter metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates; however, this effect may not be clinically significant.
Animal research suggests that specific constituents of hops, called lupulones, can induce hepatic CYP3A4 enzyme activity. However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients with normal metabolism shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, decreases the concentration of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 probe substrate, by 7.6%. This reduction is unlikely to be clinically relevant.

Wild Hops Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Wild Hops Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Hops Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 863 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wild Hops 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.
Will this make me drowsy?
Yes, drowsiness is a possible side effect. Animal research shows hops has sedative properties, so you may feel sleepy, especially if you take it in the evening. Don't drive or operate machinery right after taking it until you know how it affects you.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advises against both. There isn't enough information to know whether hops is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided in both situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
What is hops root extract and what does it do?
Hops root extract is made from the underground part of the hops plant, dried and concentrated into liquid form. It's used traditionally for various purposes — anxiety, sleep, digestion, and others — but the evidence we hold doesn't yet prove it works for any of these conditions.
Can I take this with my sleeping medication?
You shouldn't without checking first. Hops can add to the drowsiness caused by sleep aids and sedative drugs — a documented Moderate interaction. Always ask your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.
Will this interfere with my hormone replacement therapy?
Possibly. A Moderate interaction is documented. While most hops extracts contain very small amounts of the compounds that could interfere, large doses might reduce how well your estrogen therapy works. Check with your pharmacist before starting.
How long can I safely take this?
We don't have solid data on long-term safety. The product is generally well tolerated short-term, but how it behaves with extended use isn't well studied. If you plan to use it regularly, talk with your pharmacist about what to watch for.
