HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Xanthohumol 150 mg by SuperSmart

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: hops flower extract, standardized to deliver 150 mg of xanthohumol per capsule. Xanthohumol is a flavonoid compound found naturally in hops that researchers have studied for various health effects.

The capsules also contain acacia gum and white rice flour as inactive ingredients.

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 we hold on hops for the conditions this product may be marketed for — age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, indigestion, and insomnia — does not establish that it works. All of those uses are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That doesn't mean hops won't help you; it means the research to back those claims isn't solid enough yet.

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 drowsiness can occur — so be cautious if you drive or operate machinery. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't know what happens if you take this for months or years.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient information. Occupational exposure to hops dust is linked to chronic respiratory symptoms like cough and bronchitis in workers; supplements taken by mouth carry a different exposure profile, but it's worth noting.

In a small number of reported cases, supplements combining hops and soy have been tied to postmenopausal bleeding, though it's unclear whether hops, soy, or the combination 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.

Check with your pharmacist before using this if you take any sedative drugs, anti-anxiety medications, or sleep aids (Moderate-severity interaction — additive drowsiness is possible). Also double-check if you're on estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy or any medications broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 or CYP1A2 pathways (Minor-severity interactions).

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.

This product might be worth considering if you're exploring herbal options for sleep or anxiety — but the evidence isn't strong yet. If you take sedatives, sleep aids, or hormone replacement therapy, talk with your pharmacist first.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Check your exact medications with the tool on this page before you start.

Hops Flower Extract4 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.

Xanthohumol 150 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does Xanthohumol 150 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Xanthohumol 150 mg 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?
Xanthohumol 150 mg 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?
Hops has sedative properties, so drowsiness is possible — especially if you're also taking sleeping pills or sedatives. The data shows it's generally well tolerated short-term, but if you do feel drowsy, don't drive or operate machinery.
Can I take this if I'm on hormone replacement therapy?
You need to check with your pharmacist first. Hops might theoretically interfere with how your hormone therapy works, though most hops extracts contain only small amounts of the constituents involved. This isn't a blanket 'no,' but it needs a conversation with your healthcare provider.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking of taking it for months, that's a conversation to have with your pharmacist or doctor.
Does this actually work for sleep or anxiety?
The evidence we hold rates hops as having insufficient reliable evidence for insomnia and anxiety. That means research hasn't established that it works — not that it definitely won't help you, just that we don't have solid proof yet.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information, so it's best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor if you're in either situation.
What is xanthohumol?
Xanthohumol is a flavonoid compound naturally found in hops. It's the main active ingredient researchers have studied, and this product is standardized to deliver 150 mg of it per capsule.
