HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cilantrogen by Genestra Brands

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

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.

Cilantrogen contains one active ingredient: cilantro (the common cooking herb, listed here by its scientific name, coriander). The capsule also holds several inactive ingredients — hypromellose, cellulose, hyprolose, silica, and ascorbyl palmitate — which are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.

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 evidence on cilantro for the conditions listed here — anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyspepsia (indigestion) — is insufficient to rate. We don't have reliable data showing it works for any of these purposes.

If you're considering it for a specific health reason, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see if there's better-studied support for what you're looking for.

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 in normal food amounts is generally well tolerated. At higher medicinal doses in capsule form, safety data is limited, so caution is warranted.

Topically it can cause contact dermatitis, itching, or burning in sensitive skin. Orally, it's well tolerated overall, though a rare case of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) has been reported in someone with prior occupational exposure to coriander dust and spice.

If you have a known allergy to coriander or related spices, avoid this product.

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 Cilantrogen, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood sugar medications (antidiabetes drugs) — cilantro may lower glucose too much. Also flag any blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), sedating medications (CNS depressants), or drugs that increase sun sensitivity (photosensitizing drugs).

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 single-ingredient cilantro supplement is most relevant if you're interested in the herb for general wellness, though we don't have strong evidence it works for the conditions listed. If you take blood sugar, blood pressure, or sedating medications, or photosensitizing drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — cilantro's effects on these drugs need to be managed.

People with spice or coriander allergies should skip it.

Cilantrogen by Genestra Brands: Common Questions

Does Cilantrogen by Genestra Brands interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cilantrogen 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?
Cilantrogen 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 cilantro safe to take every day?
Cilantro in food amounts is generally safe, but medicinal doses lack solid safety data. If you want to take this capsule daily, check with your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you're on any medications.
Can I take this if I have a cilantro or spice allergy?
No. Avoid this product if you're allergic to cilantro, coriander, or related spices. A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) has been reported in someone with prior exposure.
What does cilantro actually do in this supplement?
We don't have reliable evidence that cilantro works for the conditions listed on this product — anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, or indigestion. It's marketed as a general wellness herb, but the evidence isn't established in our data.
Will this lower my blood sugar if I'm diabetic?
Animal research suggests cilantro may lower blood glucose levels. If you take diabetes medication, this combination could drop your sugar too low. You must talk with your doctor before starting, as dose adjustments might be needed.
Can cilantro affect my blood pressure medication?
Yes, cilantro may lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with blood pressure medication could cause your pressure to drop too much. Check with your doctor before taking this product alongside blood pressure drugs.
