HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Coriander Seed by TerraVita

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: Coriander Seed Glycerite Liquid Extract, a concentrated liquid form of coriander fruit. The extract is prepared using glycerin as a carrier (an inactive ingredient).

Coriander is a culinary spice that's been used in traditional medicine, and this liquid extract allows you to consume a more concentrated dose than you'd get from food amounts alone.

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 supporting coriander for specific health concerns is not established in the data we hold. The product's monograph lists six conditions — anorexia, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyspepsia — but rates all of them as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That means the current research doesn't yet support a clear claim that coriander works for any of these. If you're considering this for a particular reason, it's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist what the broader research landscape looks like.

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 at normal food amounts. At medicinal doses — like you'd get in a concentrated liquid extract — the safety data is sparse, so use caution and don't exceed recommended doses without medical guidance.

Avoid the essential oil without professional advice. Side effects are typically mild when they occur: topically, some people experience contact dermatitis, itching, or burning.

Orally, coriander seems well tolerated in most people. Rarely, individuals with coriander sensitivity — particularly those with occupational exposure to the spice — have reported anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction), rhinitis, or asthma symptoms.

If you've ever reacted to coriander or related spices, check with your doctor before taking this.

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 this product, check your current medications against these types: blood sugar medications (antidiabetes drugs) — risk of low blood sugar; sedating medications (CNS depressants); blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs); and photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase sun sensitivity). All are rated Moderate concern.

Your own doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether it's safe to combine any of them with this extract.

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.

Coriander Seed Liquid Extract is one to run through your medication list before you start. Because it can lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and sedation levels, and may increase sun sensitivity, anyone on medications for those conditions should verify it's okay with their doctor or pharmacist first.

If you don't take medications from those categories and you tolerate coriander well, it's generally recognized as safe — just stick to the recommended dose.

Coriander Seed by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Coriander Seed by TerraVita 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.
Is coriander safe to take if I have a spice allergy?
Most people tolerate coriander well, but if you've had an allergic reaction to coriander or related spices before — especially if you work with dried spices — talk with your doctor first. Anaphylaxis and asthma-like symptoms have been reported in sensitive individuals, particularly those with occupational exposure to coriander dust.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data we hold doesn't include pregnancy or breastfeeding information for coriander. You'll want to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it during pregnancy or while nursing, since the dose in a liquid extract is much higher than you'd get from food.
What does this product actually do?
Coriander has been used traditionally for digestive and other concerns, but the current research we have doesn't establish that it works reliably for the conditions listed on the label — including anxiety, constipation, diarrhea, and blood sugar. If you're considering it for a specific reason, talk it over with your doctor.
Will this make me drowsy?
Animal research suggests coriander has sedative effects. If you take sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medications, or other sedating drugs, coriander might add to that drowsiness. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
How much should I take?
Follow the dosing instructions on the label. The safety data for medicinal doses is limited, so don't exceed the recommended amount without guidance from your doctor or pharmacist.
Can this affect my blood pressure?
Animal research shows coriander can lower blood pressure. If you already take blood pressure medication, combining this extract could lower your pressure further, so check with your doctor before starting.
