HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic 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, the seed of the coriander plant. It comes as a tea bag or similar herbal form.

There are no inactive ingredients on file for this product.

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 for coriander's effectiveness for the uses listed here — including appetite, anxiety, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, and indigestion — is insufficient to make a reliable rating. While people have used coriander in cooking and traditional medicine for these purposes, the data we hold does not establish that it works for any of them.

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. For most people, it appears safe orally and topically with minimal side effects.

However, concentrated medicinal doses or coriander essential oil lack solid safety data, so use caution and avoid them without medical guidance. Rare but serious side effects can occur in sensitive individuals.

Anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) has been reported, as well as contact dermatitis, itching, and burning when applied to skin. People with occupational or known coriander sensitivity face higher risk.

Pregnancy and lactation safety data are not on file — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (including insulin and oral diabetes medications) — coriander may lower blood sugar and require dose changes. Also verify any CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs), antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), or photosensitizing drugs (certain antibiotics or pain relievers).

No interactions are documented beyond these categories for the ingredients we checked.

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 enjoy coriander as a cooking spice in normal amounts, this product is generally well tolerated. However, if you take medications for blood sugar, blood pressure, sleep, anxiety, or photosensitivity, you'll need to check your exact drugs with your doctor or pharmacist before adding a concentrated medicinal dose.

Anyone with a known allergy to coriander should avoid it entirely.

Organic Coriander Seed by Banyan Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Organic Coriander Seed by Banyan Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic 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?
Organic 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.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure medication?
Not without checking first with your doctor or pharmacist. Coriander may lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with blood pressure drugs could cause your pressure to drop too far. Your healthcare provider can advise whether it's safe for you.
Is this safe if I have diabetes and take medication for it?
You'll need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it. Coriander can reduce blood glucose levels, and when combined with diabetes medications, it might cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your dose might need adjustment, or you might need to skip this product altogether.
What's inside this product?
Just organic coriander seed — the active ingredient. There are no other fillers or inactive ingredients listed.
Does coriander actually work for indigestion or other digestive issues?
The evidence we hold is not strong enough to say. While coriander has a long history in cooking and traditional use for digestive complaints, we don't have reliable data showing it works for indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, or loss of appetite.
Can I use coriander essential oil instead of this tea?
The safety data for concentrated coriander essential oil or medicinal doses is limited. Stick to normal food amounts or this product form, and avoid essential oil without medical advice.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Pregnancy and lactation safety data for coriander are not on file. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is appropriate for you during pregnancy or nursing.
