HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Radish and Parsley by Kroeger Herb Products Co.

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (900 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: Black Radish and Parsley, blended together in a proprietary formula. Both are plant materials traditionally used in herbal practice — parsley is a common culinary herb, and black radish is a root vegetable.

The capsule itself is made from a vegetarian source.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports the immune system and throat health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Immune function, Throat health, Respiratory health, Infection prevention.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for what this product does isn't established in the data we hold. Both parsley and black radish are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they're associated with — including urinary tract infections, skin conditions, osteoarthritis, and diabetes.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk to your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Parsley Radish

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Parsley is safe as food in normal amounts, but this product is a concentrated supplement — and concentrated parsley is a different story. In very high doses, parsley can cause serious effects like anemia, low blood pressure, or kidney problems; there's also a rare case of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) on record.

Parsley may also stimulate the uterus, so it's not recommended in pregnancy. Black radish is generally well tolerated in normal food amounts; large amounts may irritate your stomach.

A rare allergy to radish has been reported with throat tightness and hives. Because this is a concentrated supplement, the safety data is limited compared to eating these foods.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Parsley Radish

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Radish, Parsley.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 443 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 take this, double-check any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs you're on — parsley can increase bleeding risk (Moderate severity). Also flag diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), and any sedatives or barbiturates; warfarin (Coumadin) is a particular concern.

If you're on any drug your liver processes, mention this product to your pharmacist to be safe.

Parsley8 drug types · 443 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley has antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley might decrease blood glucose. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, parsley might increase serum levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
Laboratory research suggests that parsley can inhibit CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might enhance or interfere with the effects of diuretic drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley seed extract increases urine elimination. Parsley leaf and root might also interfere with diuretic therapy due their purported aquaretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, parsley might increase the duration of pentobarbital effects.
Animal research suggests that parsley juice prolongs the action of pentobarbital, perhaps by decreasing cytochrome P450 levels. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this applies to other barbiturates or sedatives.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sirolimus (Rapamune)

Theoretically, large quantities of parsley might increase sirolimus levels.
In one case report, an adult female with a history of kidney transplant presented with elevated blood sirolimus levels, approximately 4-7 times greater than previous measures, after daily consumption of a juice containing approximately 30 grams of parsley for 7 days. Sirolimus levels returned to normal a week after the parsley juice was discontinued.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, large amounts of parsley leaf and root might decrease the effects of warfarin.
Parlsey contains vitamin K.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase the severity of allergic reactions to parsley.
In one case, severe urticaria and swelling were reported after taking aspirin with parsley in an individual with a known mild parsley allergy.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Black Radish1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, radish might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that radish extract, juice, and sprouts can reduce glucose levels. Animal research also shows that radish root juice 300 mg/kg reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose in a rat model of diabetes, with effects similar to glibenclamide.

Black Radish and Parsley by Kroeger Herb Products Co.: Common Questions

Does Black Radish and Parsley by Kroeger Herb Products Co. interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Black Radish and Parsley has a known interaction with 443 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Black Radish and Parsley contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Parsley in medicinal or large amounts is not recommended in pregnancy — it may stimulate the uterus. Stick to normal food amounts only if you're pregnant. For breastfeeding, we don't have safety data on file, so talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I take this if I'm allergic to parsley or radish?
No. Both parsley and radish allergies have been documented, including anaphylaxis (a severe reaction) with parsley. Avoid this product if you know you're allergic to either ingredient.
What does this product do?
Both parsley and black radish have traditional uses, but the evidence showing they actually work for specific conditions — like urinary tract infections, diabetes, or skin problems — isn't established yet. If you're looking for help with a particular health issue, ask your pharmacist what the research really shows.
Is this just food, or is it a supplement?
It's a concentrated supplement in capsule form, not whole food. Parsley and black radish are safe to eat as food, but concentrated extracts are a different story — they're stronger and come with more risk, especially in large amounts.
Could this cause stomach problems?
Large amounts of radish may irritate your stomach or cause mild indigestion. Parsley is generally well tolerated at low to moderate doses, but very high doses can cause serious effects. Start with the label dose and watch how you feel.
