HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Coriander Seed Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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 powder. Coriander is a culinary spice derived from the coriander plant, traditionally used in cooking and herbal preparations.

There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 we hold on coriander for its common uses—including loss of appetite, anxiety, constipation, blood sugar control, diarrhea, and indigestion—does not establish that it works for any of these. All six purposes carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean coriander is ineffective; it means the data supporting its use for these conditions isn't established in our records.

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 in normal food amounts is generally well tolerated and considered safe for most people. If you're using medicinal doses or concentrated forms (like essential oil), the safety data is sparse — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before doing so.

Orally, coriander seems to be well tolerated overall; topically, a small number of sensitive individuals may experience contact dermatitis, itching, or a burning sensation. Rare cases of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) have been reported, primarily in people with prior exposure to coriander dust or spice powder, and occupational exposure may increase sensitization risk.

Cases of rhinitis (nasal inflammation) and asthma symptoms have also been linked to breathing in coriander dust.

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 coriander powder, double-check your blood sugar medications (antidiabetes drugs) — coriander may lower blood glucose and increase the risk of low blood sugar. Also watch your blood pressure drugs (antihypertensive medications), sedating medications (CNS depressants), and any medications that increase sun sensitivity (photosensitizing drugs).

Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist.

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 powder is a culinary spice generally well tolerated in food amounts. If you take blood sugar, blood pressure, sedating medications, or sun-sensitive drugs, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding a medicinal dose — coriander may affect how these work.

Anyone with a known spice allergy or occupational exposure history to coriander dust should be especially cautious.

Coriander Seed Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Coriander Seed Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Coriander Seed Powder 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 Powder 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 powder safe to use in normal cooking amounts?
Yes. Coriander in the amounts you'd use as a culinary spice is generally safe for most people. If you're planning to take it as a medicinal supplement in larger concentrated doses, the safety data is limited — check with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't hold safety data for coriander in pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
What are the side effects of coriander powder?
Coriander is generally well tolerated when taken orally. If applied to skin, some sensitive individuals may experience contact dermatitis, itching, or a burning sensation. Rare cases of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) have been reported, mainly in people with prior occupational exposure to coriander dust or spice.
Does coriander actually help with blood sugar, digestion, or anxiety?
The evidence we hold does not establish that coriander works for these purposes. All six common uses — appetite, anxiety, constipation, blood sugar, diarrhea, and indigestion — carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence in our data.
Can I use coriander essential oil instead of the powder?
Concentrated medicinal doses or essential oil should not be used without medical advice — the safety data for these forms is limited. Stick with normal food amounts unless your doctor or pharmacist says otherwise.
Am I at higher risk of problems with this product?
If you have a known allergy to spices or coriander, or if you've had occupational exposure to coriander dust (which can sensitize you), use caution. Anyone taking blood sugar, blood pressure, sedating, or sun-sensitive medications should also check with their pharmacist or doctor first.
