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 Root Extract in dried form. The extract is suspended in a liquid base made with alcohol, water, and glycerin.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Hops product and its label doesn't state a use — see Hops's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for hops isn't established for any of the uses our data covers—age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, indigestion (dyspepsia), and insomnia all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means there's not enough solid data yet to say whether hops actually works for these conditions.

If you're considering this for a specific concern, talk with your pharmacist about what the current science supports.

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, and long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe.

Occupational exposure to hops dust (usually mixed with other dusts) is linked to chronic respiratory symptoms like dry cough and chronic bronchitis; oral supplements are a different exposure, but this history is worth knowing. A few cases of postmenopausal bleeding have been reported with supplements containing both hops and soy, though it's unclear which ingredient—or the combination—was responsible.

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.

Check your medications if you take sedative drugs or sleep aids (CNS depressants)—hops may add to drowsiness. Also flag estrogen-containing medications like hormone replacement therapy.

If you're on any drug metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 or CYP1A2, mention this product to your pharmacist so they can assess the theoretical risk for your specific prescriptions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Wild Hops might be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. If you take sedatives, hormone replacement therapy, or medications sensitive to liver metabolism, you'll want to check your exact drugs with the tool on this page before starting.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether this product fits your situation.

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 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 hops make me drowsy?
It may. Hops is generally well tolerated in the short term but can cause drowsiness, especially if you combine it with sedative medications. If you try it, avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you personally.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Does hops actually work for sleep or anxiety?
Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate hops for insomnia, anxiety, or ADHD. The evidence just isn't established yet. If you want to try it, discuss your goals with your pharmacist so they can suggest options with stronger data if that matters to you.
Can I take this with my hormone replacement therapy?
Theoretically, hops might interfere with hormone replacement therapy because some constituents in the extract can compete for estrogen receptors—though most hops extracts contain only small amounts of these compounds. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.
What's in this liquid besides hops?
The extract is suspended in alcohol, water, and glycerin. If you need to avoid alcohol, this form may not be right for you—ask your pharmacist about alternatives.
