HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cilantro by Herb Pharm

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: cilantro leaf extract. It's supplied as a liquid in a base of cane alcohol and distilled water.

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: cleanse and detoxify.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that cilantro is effective for any of the conditions it's traditionally used for — anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, or indigestion. The ratings are all insufficient reliable evidence, which means there's not enough solid research to say whether it works or doesn't.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Coriander

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.

Cilantro is generally well tolerated. At normal food amounts, it's generally safe for most people.

When taken as a concentrated medicinal dose — like this liquid extract — safety data is limited, so use caution and avoid the essential oil without medical advice. Topically, it may cause contact dermatitis, itching, or a burning sensation in sensitive individuals.

Rarely, allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported, particularly in people with occupational exposure to coriander dust or spice. Respiratory symptoms like rhinitis and asthma have also been documented in sensitive individuals.

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 — Coriander.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 717 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 product, check with us if you're on diabetes medications (blood sugar risk), CNS depressants like sedatives or anti-anxiety drugs (drowsiness risk), blood pressure medication (low blood pressure risk), or photosensitizing drugs (increased sun sensitivity risk).

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 is a single-ingredient cilantro extract in a small liquid form. If you take medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep, or photosensitivity, check with us first — cilantro may affect how they work.

It's generally well tolerated at food doses, but medicinal extracts have limited safety data, so talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Does Cilantro by Herb Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cilantro has a known interaction with 717 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cilantro 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.
Does cilantro have any serious side effects?
Cilantro is well tolerated by most people. Topically, it may cause itching or a burning feeling in sensitive skin. Rarely — mostly in people with occupational exposure to coriander dust — allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have occurred. If you've ever had a reaction to coriander or related spices, let us know before taking this.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data on file doesn't cover pregnancy or lactation. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this extract.
Is cilantro effective for digestion or other digestive issues?
The evidence we hold isn't strong enough to say whether cilantro works for indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, or related conditions. The ratings are insufficient, so more research is needed.
How much alcohol is in this liquid extract?
This product is a liquid made with cane alcohol and distilled water. The exact alcohol percentage isn't specified in the product facts we have. If alcohol content matters for your health or medications, ask us for details or check the label.
Should I avoid this if I'm taking blood pressure medication?
Cilantro may add to the blood pressure-lowering effect of your medication, which could cause dizziness or other problems. Check with us or your doctor before starting — your dose may need adjusting.
