HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cilantro Heavy Metal Detox by Planetary Herbals

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 12, 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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This liquid contains two active ingredients: organic chlorella (a type of green algae) and organic cilantro (the herb also known as coriander). The product also contains vegetable glycerin and purified water as inactive ingredients to preserve and deliver the actives.

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: bind to heavy metals and clear from body.
  • We looked for evidence on: Heavy metal toxicity, Lead exposure, Mercury exposure, Arsenic exposure.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

For chlorella, the evidence is mixed and limited. It's rated possibly effective for pregnancy-related iron deficiency, but for other uses like brain tumors, fatty liver disease, depression, and fatigue, we don't have reliable evidence to say whether it works.

For cilantro, we also lack established evidence — it's rated insufficient for conditions like anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, and indigestion. Neither ingredient has proven benefit for 'heavy metal detox' specifically; that claim isn't covered in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorella 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 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.

Chlorella is generally well tolerated short term, though product quality and purity vary widely — that matters for safety and potency. During the first two weeks, you might experience stomach cramping, diarrhea, nausea, or gas; a small number of trial participants reported these.

Photosensitivity and allergic reactions (including rare anaphylaxis) have been reported. Safety data is limited, so it shouldn't be used without your doctor's approval.

Cilantro seems well tolerated in food amounts; concentrated medicinal doses lack safety data. Rare allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in sensitive individuals, particularly those exposed occupationally.

For pregnancy, chlorella is rated possibly safe, but cilantro has insufficient safety data — talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using either during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chlorella Coriander

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 — Coriander, Chlorella.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 719 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.

Double-check this product against photosensitizing drugs (Moderate), blood thinners like warfarin (Moderate), CNS depressants or sedatives (Moderate), antihypertensive or blood-pressure-lowering drugs (Moderate), and diabetes or blood-sugar-lowering medications (Moderate).

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 product is a two-ingredient herbal blend with limited evidence for its advertised detox purpose and several drug interactions worth checking first. If you take a blood thinner, diabetes medication, blood pressure medication, sedative, or anything that makes you light-sensitive, run it through our checker before starting.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether this is a fit for you.

Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, chlorella might have additive effects with photosensitizing drugs.
Chlorella has been reported to cause photosensitization. In five case reports, patients who had ingested chlorella exhibited swelling followed by erythematopurpuric lesions on sun-exposed areas of the body. Theoretically, concomitant use with photosensitizing drugs may exacerbate effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, chlorella might reduce the clinical effects of warfarin.
Chlorella contains significant amounts of vitamin K. There is at least one case report of warfarin therapy becoming sub-therapeutic after initiation of chlorella supplements.

Cilantro Heavy Metal Detox by Planetary Herbals: Common Questions

Does Cilantro Heavy Metal Detox by Planetary Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cilantro Heavy Metal Detox has a known interaction with 719 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cilantro Heavy Metal Detox 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.
Will this help me with heavy metals?
The data we hold doesn't establish that either chlorella or cilantro removes heavy metals from your body. Both ingredients have limited evidence for their uses overall, so we can't say this product does what it claims.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Chlorella is rated possibly safe in pregnancy, but cilantro doesn't have enough safety data either way. Because this product has two ingredients with different safety profiles and your situation is individual, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding.
What side effects might I have?
Most people tolerate it okay, but especially in the first two weeks you might get stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, or gas. Photosensitivity (a skin reaction to sun exposure) and allergic reactions, including rare anaphylaxis, have been reported.
Does the quality of this product matter?
Yes. Chlorella products vary a lot in purity and quality, which affects both how well it works and how safe it is. That's worth keeping in mind.
Can I take this with my blood thinner?
Chlorella contains vitamin K, which can make warfarin and other blood thinners less effective. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this product if you take any blood thinner.
