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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Wild Hops Alcohol Free contains one active ingredient: hops root extract in dry form. Hops is a plant whose root has been used traditionally to support relaxation and sleep, though the evidence for these uses isn't well established in the data we hold.
The liquid also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Not established
The data we hold does not establish reliable evidence that hops root extract works for any of the conditions it's marketed for — age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, indigestion (dyspepsia), and insomnia all fall into insufficient evidence categories. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research backing these uses isn't solid enough to rate them yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Hops is generally well tolerated for short-term use but may cause drowsiness — avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't know what happens with extended use.
Not enough safety data exists for pregnancy, so the data advises against use during pregnancy. Safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best to avoid it then as well.
Occupational exposure to hops dust (usually mixed with other substances) can cause chronic respiratory symptoms like dry cough, shortness of breath, and chronic bronchitis. Oral supplements combining hops and soy have been linked to postmenopausal bleeding in a small number of cases — it's unclear whether hops, soy, or the combination caused it.
Allergic skin reactions have occurred after contact with fresh hops plant material or dust.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take sedative or anti-anxiety medications — hops may strengthen their drowsiness effect. Also confirm it's safe if you're on estrogen-based medications like hormone replacement therapy or birth control, or if you take medications metabolized by CYP3A4 (a common liver enzyme pathway).
No interactions are documented for CYP1A2 substrates based on human evidence, though animal studies raised a theoretical concern.
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.
Wild Hops Alcohol Free may be worth considering if you're looking to support relaxation or sleep and have no contraindications — but the evidence backing those uses isn't strong. Be cautious if you take sedative medications, hormone replacement therapy, birth control, or drugs that depend on CYP3A4 metabolism.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any prescription medications.

Wild Hops Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Wild Hops Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm, which contains hops root extract, does interact with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications) — hops may add to their sedating effects and cause extra drowsiness.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Hops may also interfere with estrogens, including hormone replacement therapy and birth control pills. The concern is theoretical based on how hops constituents bind to estrogen receptors, though most hops extracts contain only small amounts of these active parts.
Additionally, hops extract might alter how your body metabolizes certain medications processed through the CYP3A4 pathway, though this effect may not be significant in practice. Minor interactions are also possible with drugs metabolized by CYP1A2, though a human study suggests this risk is low.
Altogether, these interactions span 864 individual medications. To see if any of your prescriptions are affected, run them through the interaction checker below.

For each ingredient in Wild Hops Alcohol Free with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Wild Hops Root Extract, Dry
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of hops with sedative drugs might cause additive sedation.
Some animal research shows that hops has sedative effects.
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.
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.
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.
