HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cilantro Metal Detox by Source Naturals

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

Cilantro Metal Detox contains 2 active ingredients: organic chlorella and organic cilantro, both in liquid form. The product also contains vegetable glycerin and purified water as inactive ingredients.

Chlorella is a freshwater algae used traditionally for whole-body wellness. Cilantro (coriander) is a culinary herb that some people use as a supplement for digestive and wellness purposes.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: natural defense against environmental toxins.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diarrhea, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Dyspepsia, Heavy metal detoxification, Toxin elimination — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Coriander is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Coriander is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The evidence for chlorella in pregnancy-related iron deficiency is rated as possibly effective — so there is some support, though it's not definitive. For the other uses listed — brain tumor, fatty liver disease, depression, and fatigue — the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate either way; that means we don't have enough information to say whether chlorella helps.

For cilantro, the evidence is similarly limited. Uses like loss of appetite, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, and indigestion all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence — so we don't have solid data showing it works for those purposes.

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 over the short term, but product quality and purity vary widely, so you need to choose a reputable brand. The most common side effects are allergic reactions, abdominal cramping, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, gas, nausea, sensitivity to sunlight, and discolored stool — many mild and transient, especially in the first two weeks.

Serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis are rare but documented. Cilantro at normal food amounts is generally safe for most people.

At concentrated medicinal doses, safety data is limited, so caution is advised. Most side effects are mild — contact dermatitis or itching with topical use, or anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals, which is rare.

The safety data during pregnancy and lactation is either insufficient or not on file for these ingredients, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

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.

Before taking Cilantro Metal Detox, check with your pharmacist if you take photosensitizing drugs (Moderate severity), warfarin or other blood thinners (Moderate), antihypertensive drugs for blood pressure (Moderate), antidiabetes medications (Moderate), or CNS depressants like sleep aids or anti-anxiety drugs (Moderate). If you're not sure which category your medications fall into, the interaction checker on this page can help.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in chlorella or cilantro for general wellness, and neither ingredient has documented interactions with most medications. However, if you take blood thinners like warfarin, any photosensitizing drugs, blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or sedating drugs, you need to check with your pharmacist first.

Product quality matters, so choose a reputable manufacturer.

Cilantro Metal Detox by Source Naturals: Common Questions

Does Cilantro Metal Detox by Source Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cilantro 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 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.
Is it safe to take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Chlorella is rated as possibly safe during pregnancy, but there isn't enough data for cilantro to know either way. Since safety data is incomplete, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate it well. The most common side effects are mild — nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, gas, and constipation, especially in the first two weeks. Skin sensitivity to sun is also possible. Serious allergic reactions are rare but have been reported.
Does this product actually remove heavy metals?
The product facts we have show effectiveness ratings only for specific uses like pregnancy-related iron deficiency (possibly effective for chlorella) and digestive conditions (insufficient evidence for cilantro). There's no effectiveness rating for heavy metal detoxification in our data.
How much variation is there in product quality?
Chlorella product quality and purity vary widely, so it matters which brand you choose. Look for reputable manufacturers, and consider asking your pharmacist for a recommendation.
Can I take this long-term?
Chlorella is noted as generally well tolerated short term, but long-term safety hasn't been well established in the data we hold. Talk with your pharmacist about safe duration of use for your situation.
Is cilantro safe at medicinal doses?
Cilantro at normal food amounts is safe for most people, but safety data at concentrated medicinal doses is limited. If you're taking this product regularly, check with your pharmacist about what's appropriate for you.
