HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cilantrol by North American Herb & Spice

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Cilantrol contains one active ingredient: coriander seed oil, derived from coriander fruit. The product has no inactive ingredients listed — it's the oil itself.

Coriander is a culinary spice traditionally used in herbal medicine, though the concentrated oil form is much more potent than the amounts you'd use in cooking.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Coriander product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Coriander's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“digestive health and detoxification support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence for coriander's effectiveness is limited. The product facts show insufficient reliable evidence to rate coriander for anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, or dyspepsia — the conditions most commonly associated with it.

That means the science hasn't yet established whether it actually works for these purposes, so we can't make a claim about its benefit.

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.

Coriander is generally well tolerated when used in normal food amounts. Concentrated medicinal doses or essential oil — like this product — lack solid safety data, so use caution and talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

The most common side effect is contact dermatitis (skin irritation) from topical use; orally, coriander is generally well tolerated, though a rare but serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis has been reported in sensitive individuals, including symptoms like hives, throat swelling, and trouble breathing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient 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?
  • 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 taking Cilantrol, double-check your medications against this list with your pharmacist or doctor. The most important concern is diabetes medication — coriander can lower blood sugar.

You should also verify blood pressure medications, sleep aids and anxiety medications, and any drugs that increase sun sensitivity (photosensitizing drugs).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may appeal to people interested in coriander's traditional uses, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established. Because it interacts with blood sugar medications, blood pressure medications, sleep aids, and drugs that increase sun sensitivity, you'll want to check your exact prescriptions before starting it.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to see whether Cilantrol fits your situation.

Cilantrol by North American Herb & Spice: Common Questions

Does Cilantrol by North American Herb & Spice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cilantrol 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?
Cilantrol 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.
What is coriander seed oil used for?
Coriander has a long history in herbal medicine and is traditionally used for digestion, anxiety, constipation, and blood sugar support. However, the evidence to prove it works for these purposes isn't established in our data, so we can't claim it's effective for any of them.
Can I take Cilantrol with my blood pressure medication?
Coriander may lower blood pressure, so combining it with blood pressure medications could increase the risk of your pressure dropping too low. Check your specific medications with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.
Is coriander seed oil safe?
Coriander is generally well tolerated in normal food amounts. Concentrated medicinal doses or essential oil — as in this product — lack solid safety data, so use caution. A rare but serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis has been reported in sensitive individuals.
Are there any side effects?
Most people tolerate coriander well when taken by mouth. The main side effect from topical use is contact dermatitis (skin irritation) in sensitive individuals. Rarely, serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis have been reported.
Can I take this if I'm on a diabetes medication?
Coriander can lower blood glucose levels, so it may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes medication. If you take a diabetes drug, talk with your doctor or pharmacist — you may need to monitor your blood sugar closely or adjust your dose.
Does Cilantrol have any fillers or inactive ingredients?
No inactive ingredients are listed for this product — it is coriander seed oil only.
