HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Hops by Herbal Terra

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: Wild Hops (Moghania fruticulosa) dried root liquid extract. Hops is traditionally used in herbal medicine, and this supplement delivers it in liquid form for easy dosing.

The inactive ingredient listed is menstruum, which is the liquid used to extract the herb's active compounds.

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 digestive wellness support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Insomnia, Dyspepsia, Menopausal symptoms, Restlessness, Nervous tension.
  • 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 Dyspepsia, Insomnia, Menopausal symptoms.

The evidence we hold does not establish that Wild Hops is effective for any of the uses it's marketed for — age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, indigestion, or insomnia all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the research available isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works or doesn't.

If you're thinking about it for a specific reason, talk it through with your pharmacist or doctor.

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. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't know what happens if you take it for months or years.

There isn't enough safety information to recommend use during pregnancy — the data advises against it. The same goes for breastfeeding; safety is unknown, so it's best avoided while nursing.

Occupational exposure to hops dust has been linked to chronic respiratory problems like cough and bronchitis, though this applies mainly to people working with the plant. Oral supplements combining hops and soy have been tied to postmenopausal bleeding in a small number of cases, and menstrual changes have been reported in female hops harvesters — it's unclear whether hops alone is 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 you start Wild Hops, double-check with a pharmacist if you take sedative medications (sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs, prescription pain relievers, or other CNS depressants) — the risk of extra drowsiness is Moderate. If you're on hormone replacement therapy or any estrogen-based medication, that's a Moderate concern too.

Medications metabolized by your liver enzymes (CYP3A4 or CYP1A2 substrates) may be affected, though the risk is Minor — the medication checker below will flag 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.

Wild Hops may be worth a try if you're looking for natural support for sleep or anxiety, but the evidence for it isn't established yet. If you take sedative medications, estrogen-based drugs, or medications metabolized by your liver, check with us first — this product could affect how they work.

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 by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Wild Hops by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Hops 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 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 Wild Hops make me drowsy?
Yes, drowsiness is a possible side effect, especially if you take it regularly. The product is generally well tolerated in the short term, but if you drive or operate machinery, be cautious. If you're already taking sedating medications, the drowsiness could be stronger.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data to recommend Wild Hops during pregnancy — the evidence advises against it. The same applies to breastfeeding — safety is unknown, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options.
Does Wild Hops actually work for insomnia or anxiety?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say. Insomnia and anxiety both carry an 'insufficient reliable evidence' rating, which means there aren't enough solid studies yet to confirm whether it helps or doesn't. You'd be experimenting, not relying on proven science.
What's in the bottle besides the hops?
The active ingredient is the hops extract. The only other ingredient listed is menstruum — a liquid used to extract the herb's compounds. There are no fillers or binders listed.
Is Wild Hops safe to take long-term?
We don't have good data on long-term safety. Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but taking it for months or years — we just don't know enough about that yet. If you're planning to use it regularly, talk with your pharmacist.
Can hops supplements cause bleeding or mess with my period?
A small number of people taking supplements that combined hops with soy reported postmenopausal bleeding. Menstrual changes have also been reported in female hops workers. It's not clear if hops alone is the cause, but it's something to watch for — mention any unusual bleeding to your doctor.
