HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Coriander Powder 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 seed powder. Coriander (also called cilantro when the leaves are used) has a long history in cooking and traditional medicine across many cultures.

The powder itself contains no added fillers or inactive ingredients.

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 doesn't establish that coriander powder works for any of the conditions it's sometimes used for — including loss of appetite, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, or indigestion. All six uses carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence, meaning the science so far doesn't support a clear benefit.

That doesn't mean it's ineffective, only that we don't have solid data yet.

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 the amounts you'd eat as a spice. In medicinal doses — especially concentrated forms or essential oil — safety data is thin, so caution is warranted.

Very rarely, people with a coriander allergy can have serious reactions: a documented case involved anaphylaxis (a severe whole-body allergic response) in someone occupationally exposed to coriander dust and powder. Workers handling coriander spice have also reported asthma symptoms and rhinitis.

Topically, it can cause contact dermatitis, itching, or burning in sensitive skin.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're on blood sugar–lowering drugs (antidiabetes medications), sedating medications or CNS depressants, blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), or photosensitizing drugs — all carry Moderate interaction risk with coriander.

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.

If you use coriander powder as a culinary spice in normal food amounts, safety isn't a major concern. If you're taking it as a medicinal supplement — especially at higher doses — you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first, particularly if you're on blood sugar medication, blood pressure pills, sedatives, or sun-sensitizing drugs.

The evidence for health benefits isn't established yet.

Organic Coriander Powder by Banyan Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Organic Coriander Powder by Banyan Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Coriander 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?
Organic Coriander 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 eat as a spice?
Yes, coriander is generally well tolerated in normal food amounts. It's safe for most people at the levels you'd use in cooking.
What if I'm allergic to coriander?
Coriander allergy is rare, but it can cause serious reactions. A documented case involved anaphylaxis — a severe allergic response. If you have any history of spice allergies, mention coriander to your doctor or pharmacist before taking a medicinal dose.
Can I take coriander if I have diabetes and take blood sugar medication?
That's a conversation to have with your doctor or pharmacist. Animal evidence suggests coriander can lower blood sugar, so combining it with diabetes medication could raise the risk of low blood sugar. They'll help you decide if it's right for you and whether monitoring is needed.
Does coriander powder actually work for digestive problems?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works for indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation. All those uses are rated insufficient reliable evidence — meaning the science isn't there yet to confirm a benefit.
Is there anything else in this powder besides coriander?
No — this product is 100% coriander seed powder with no added fillers or inactive ingredients.
