HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cilantro by Herbal Terra

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.

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: certified organic cilantro leaf liquid extract (from Coriandrum sativum). The extract is made using menstruum, which is the liquid used to prepare herbal extracts — that's an inactive ingredient.

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 Coriander product and its label doesn't state a use — see Coriander'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 effectiveness evidence for cilantro leaf isn't established in the data we hold. The monograph lists six common uses — anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyspepsia — but all are rated insufficient reliable evidence.

That means the research isn't there yet to confirm whether it works for any of them.

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 food amounts, and orally it seems to be well tolerated overall. At normal culinary doses you're unlikely to run into problems.

The caution is with concentrated medicinal doses or essential oil — the safety data isn't robust enough to recommend those without medical advice. Topically, it can cause contact dermatitis, itching, or a burning sensation in sensitive people.

Rarely, people with coriander sensitivity (sometimes from workplace exposure) have had serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, hives, facial swelling, and trouble breathing — if you've ever reacted to cilantro or related spices, don't use this without checking with your doctor.

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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications), antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), CNS depressants (sleep aids or anxiety medications), or photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase sun sensitivity). All are documented Moderate-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.

Cilantro leaf extract is generally well tolerated at food amounts, but this medicinal liquid form — especially if you take blood sugar, blood pressure, sedating, or sun-sensitizing medications — needs a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first. The effectiveness for the conditions listed isn't proven yet in the research we have.

If you have a history of spice allergies, check before starting.

Cilantro by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Cilantro by Herbal Terra 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.
Is this safe if I take blood pressure or diabetes medication?
The data shows Moderate-level interactions with both. Cilantro may lower blood pressure and blood sugar further, so you'll need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it — they may want to monitor you more closely or adjust your dose.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There's no safety data on file for cilantro in pregnancy or lactation. Because the evidence isn't established either way, you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist to get personalized advice for your situation.
Does this actually work for anxiety, diarrhea, or digestion?
The evidence isn't there yet to say yes. All the common uses listed — including anxiety, diarrhea, and digestion problems — are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence, so we can't confirm it works for any of them.
What are the side effects?
Orally, cilantro is generally well tolerated with few side effects. Rarely, people with a sensitivity or allergy to cilantro (especially from workplace exposure to coriander spice) have had serious allergic reactions. If you've ever reacted to cilantro or related spices, check with your doctor before using this.
Is this the same as eating cilantro in food?
Not quite. This is a concentrated liquid extract, while food amounts of cilantro are generally safe. The safety data for medicinal doses of the extract isn't as robust, so the caution is higher — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure whether it's right for you.
