HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Parsley 400 mg by Signature Supplements

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.

Parsley 400 mg contains one active ingredient: parsley leaf. You also get cellulose and diatomaceous earth as inactive ingredients to hold the capsule together.

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 Parsley's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports whole body health.
  • We looked for evidence on: digestive support, urinary health, antioxidant support, vitamin supplementation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Parsley is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that parsley works for urinary tract infections, melasma, osteoarthritis, insect bites, or skin cancer. All of these conditions show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its usefulness.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Parsley

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.

Parsley from food is generally well tolerated in normal eating amounts. But this is a concentrated supplement—at 400 mg per capsule, large doses may not be safe.

The serious concerns come at very high intakes (like 10 grams or more of parsley's toxic compounds apiole or myristicin, or 200 grams of parsley oil), which can cause hallucinations, low red blood cell counts (hemolytic anemia), low blood pressure, liver or kidney damage, and rare clotting disorders. Pregnancy is a caution: medicinal or large amounts may stimulate the uterus, so stick to food amounts only if you're pregnant or planning to be.

Breastfeeding safety data isn't on file for this supplement—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Parsley

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 — Parsley.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 443 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.

Double-check this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), sedatives, or the transplant drug sirolimus before you start. If you take a blood thinner like warfarin or a drug that your liver processes through CYP1A2, that's especially important.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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.

This product is fine as occasional supplemental parsley if you don't take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, sedatives, diuretics, or the transplant drug sirolimus. If you do take any of those, check with us first.

Anyone with a parsley allergy should avoid it. Talk to your pharmacist about whether parsley makes sense for what you're trying to do.

Parsley8 drug types · 443 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley has antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley might decrease blood glucose. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, parsley might increase serum levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
Laboratory research suggests that parsley can inhibit CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might enhance or interfere with the effects of diuretic drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley seed extract increases urine elimination. Parsley leaf and root might also interfere with diuretic therapy due their purported aquaretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, parsley might increase the duration of pentobarbital effects.
Animal research suggests that parsley juice prolongs the action of pentobarbital, perhaps by decreasing cytochrome P450 levels. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this applies to other barbiturates or sedatives.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sirolimus (Rapamune)

Theoretically, large quantities of parsley might increase sirolimus levels.
In one case report, an adult female with a history of kidney transplant presented with elevated blood sirolimus levels, approximately 4-7 times greater than previous measures, after daily consumption of a juice containing approximately 30 grams of parsley for 7 days. Sirolimus levels returned to normal a week after the parsley juice was discontinued.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, large amounts of parsley leaf and root might decrease the effects of warfarin.
Parlsey contains vitamin K.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase the severity of allergic reactions to parsley.
In one case, severe urticaria and swelling were reported after taking aspirin with parsley in an individual with a known mild parsley allergy.

Parsley 400 mg by Signature Supplements: Common Questions

Does Parsley 400 mg by Signature Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Parsley 400 mg has a known interaction with 443 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Parsley 400 mg 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 parsley safe in pregnancy?
Medicinal or large amounts of parsley may stimulate the uterus, so you should stick to normal food amounts only if you're pregnant. If you're thinking about taking this supplement while pregnant or trying to conceive, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What are the side effects?
At normal doses, parsley is generally well tolerated. Very high doses may cause serious effects like hallucinations, low blood counts, kidney or liver problems, and clotting disorders—but those come from extreme amounts (10+ grams of parsley's toxic compounds or 200 grams of parsley oil). Rare cases of severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis have been reported.
Can parsley help with urinary tract infections?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish whether parsley works for UTIs—there isn't enough reliable data to rate it one way or the other.
What is parsley actually used for in this supplement?
The product contains parsley leaf at 400 mg per capsule. We don't have evidence it's effective for the common uses (UTIs, skin conditions, joint pain), but parsley is traditionally used as a diuretic and for its nutritional compounds.
Is this safe if I have a parsley allergy?
No—avoid this supplement. If you have a known parsley allergy and take aspirin, the combination may worsen allergic reactions. Severe cases of anaphylaxis have been reported with parsley.
