HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Caraway Seed 1,000 by Bio Nutrition

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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.

Caraway Seed 1,000 contains one active ingredient: caraway seed powder. This supplement also includes three inactive ingredients — vegetable cellulose, vegetable stearate, and silica — which are the capsule material and binders that hold the product together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: relieve intestinal gas and bloating discomfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Flatulence, Dyspepsia, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Abdominal distension, Carminative effect, Post-prandial discomfort.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Caraway is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Caraway is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Caraway seed is possibly effective for dyspepsia (indigestion). For amenorrhea (absent periods), asthma, constipation, and flatulence, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate whether it works.

If you're considering this supplement for one of those other uses, talk with your pharmacist about what the broader research shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Caraway

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.

Caraway seed is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but concentrated supplements and caraway oil are less thoroughly studied. The safety notes in our data advise against medicinal or oil amounts during pregnancy — food quantities are likely fine, but data are limited.

While breastfeeding, food amounts are probably safe, but safety of concentrated supplements isn't well studied; discuss with your doctor or pharmacist. Side effects are uncommon.

A few cases link caraway oil combined with peppermint oil to allergic reactions (in someone with a history of asthma) and to heartburn, belching, nausea, and vomiting — though it's unclear whether caraway, peppermint, or the combination caused these.

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 — Caraway.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 413 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 starting this product, double-check if you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs), antidiabetes medications, potassium-depleting diuretics, lithium, or tuberculosis drugs like isoniazid, rifampin, or pyrazinamide. Moderate-severity interactions are possible with the first four categories, and minor interactions with the TB medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Caraway seed may help with indigestion. If you take diabetes medication, water pills, lithium, CNS depressants, or TB drugs, check this product with your pharmacist first — interactions are possible.

Avoid in pregnancy; talk with your provider before breastfeeding. It's generally safe in food amounts but less studied at supplement doses.

Caraway seed powder7 drug types · 413 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, caraway might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that caraway can reduce blood glucose levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Medication dose adjustments may be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research suggests that (S)-(+)-carvone, a major constituent of caraway seed extract, has sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, caraway might increase the risk of hypokalemia when used with diuretics that deplete potassium.
Animal research suggests that a single dose of caraway fruit extract can promote diuresis and increase the urinary excretion of sodium and potassium. However, sub-chronic use of caraway fruit extract does not seem to significantly increase potassium excretion, although urine output continues to be increased for up to 6 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, caraway might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium due to diuretic effects.
Animal research suggests that caraway fruit extract has diuretic properties.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Isoniazid

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of isoniazid.
Animal research suggests that a specific fraction of caraway seed extract (CC-1a) can increase plasma levels of isoniazid when administered concomitantly. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pyrazinamide

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of pyrazinamide.
Animal research suggests that a specific fraction of caraway seed extract (CC-1a) can increase plasma levels of pyrazinamide when administered concomitantly. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Rifampin (Rifadin)

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of rifampin.
Animal research suggests that a specific fraction of caraway seed extract (CC-1a) can increase plasma levels of rifampin when administered concomitantly. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

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.
What is caraway seed used for?
Caraway seed is possibly effective for dyspepsia — that's indigestion or stomach upset. For other uses like gas, constipation, or asthma, we don't have enough evidence yet to say whether it works.

The safety data advises against medicinal or oil amounts of caraway during pregnancy. Food amounts are probably fine, but data are limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

What are the side effects?
Side effects are uncommon. When caraway oil was used with peppermint oil in a few cases, some people had allergic reactions, heartburn, belching, nausea, or vomiting — but it's not clear whether caraway alone caused these or if peppermint or the combination was responsible.
Does this product have fillers or inactive ingredients?
Yes — it contains vegetable cellulose (the capsule), vegetable stearate, and silica as binders and flow agents. The one active ingredient is caraway seed powder.
