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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
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
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.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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
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 by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Wild Hops by Herbal Terra contains one active ingredient—hops root extract—and it does interact with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with sedative drugs (CNS depressants). Animal research suggests hops has sedative effects, so taking it alongside sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, or other sedatives could add up to extra drowsiness.
Hops may also interfere with estrogen-containing medications, including hormone replacement therapy, because some constituents in hops can compete for the same receptor sites your body uses for estrogen—though most hops extracts contain only small amounts of these compounds. Additionally, hops theoretically might alter how your body breaks down certain medications metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP3A4, though this effect may not be clinically important.
Minor interactions are also documented with drugs processed by the CYP1A2 enzyme, though a pharmacokinetic study suggests this effect may not occur in practice.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Although we document interactions with a large number of individual medications across these categories, the ones that matter most to you are the sedatives, estrogen products, and any drugs your doctor or pharmacist has flagged as sensitive to liver metabolism changes. Use the medication checker below to search your exact prescriptions before you start.

For each ingredient in Wild Hops 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.
