Can You Take Caffeine and Hops Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Caffeine's stimulating effects may counteract hops' sedative properties, reducing the benefits of both.

How to arrange timing

Separate by several hours; use caffeine in the morning and hops at night.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
