HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Coriander Seed by Banyan Botanicals

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: coriander. We hold no information on how this single ingredient functions or what dose is present in the powder form.

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 — see Coriander's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive support and kidney urinary tract health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastric comfort, heat reduction — 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 coriander as a treatment is insufficient in the data we hold. It has been studied for anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, and indigestion, but the research doesn't yet support a reliable rating for any of these uses.

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 taken by mouth or applied to skin. At normal food amounts, it's considered safe for most people.

When used in concentrated medicinal doses or as an essential oil, safety data is limited, so caution is advised without medical guidance. Rare but serious side effects include anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) in sensitive individuals, particularly those with occupational exposure to coriander dust.

More commonly, topical use may cause contact dermatitis, itching, or a burning sensation in sensitive skin. If you have a known spice allergy or are prone to severe allergic reactions, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

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 this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use any CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications), blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or photosensitizing drugs. Coriander may intensify the effects of these medication types and require dose adjustments or closer monitoring.

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.

Coriander Seed Powder from Banyan Botanicals is generally well tolerated at food amounts, but evidence for its effectiveness as a treatment isn't established in our data. If you take medications for blood pressure, blood sugar, or sleep — or if you use photosensitizing drugs — you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

Anyone with a history of spice allergies should also discuss it first.

Formula

(Coriandrum sativum) Organic ayurvedic herbs

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is one of the best herbs for supporting digestion without aggravating pitta. It enkindles the digestive fire while simultaneously cooling and soothing the GI tract. It removes excess heat in the body making it useful in cooling pitta-related imbalances associated with menopause. It also supports proper function of the kidneys and healthy urination. The seeds combine well with cumin and fennel to make an excellent digestive tea.

Coriander Seed by Banyan Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Coriander Seed by Banyan Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Coriander Seed 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?
Coriander Seed 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 exactly is coriander seed?
Coriander is a spice derived from the fruit of the Coriandrum sativum plant. This product is the whole seed ground into powder form. In food amounts it's been part of cooking for centuries, though medicinal doses are a different story.
Can I take this if I have diabetes or take blood sugar medication?
Animal research suggests coriander might lower blood glucose, so there's a theoretical risk it could cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes medications. You'd need to monitor your blood sugar closely and talk with your doctor about whether it's right for you and whether your dose needs adjustment.
Is it safe to use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for coriander during pregnancy or lactation. Since medicinal doses lack safety information, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is appropriate for you during these periods.
Does coriander actually work for digestive issues?
The evidence in our data is insufficient to reliably rate coriander for indigestion or other digestive complaints. While it's a traditional digestive spice, clinical evidence doesn't yet support a confident recommendation.
What side effects should I watch for?
At normal food amounts, coriander is well tolerated with no common side effects. At medicinal doses, we don't have good safety data. Rare but serious reactions include anaphylaxis in people with spice allergies, and topical use can occasionally cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
