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.

Dr. Clark Store's Parsley 500 mg is a single-ingredient supplement: 500 mg of freeze-dried parsley per capsule.

The capsule itself contains tapioca as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Parsley product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Parsley's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Supports detoxification”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish how well parsley works for any of its proposed uses. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence for urinary tract infections, melasma, osteoarthritis, and nonmelanoma skin cancer, meaning studies are limited or inconclusive.

If you're considering this for a specific condition, it's worth a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist.

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 eaten as food is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. However, parsley concentrates—including supplements, seeds, and essential oils—may not be safe in large doses.

Very high intakes (200 grams of parsley oil or 10 grams or more of the constituent apiole or myristicin) are associated with rare but serious effects like hemolytic anemia, low blood platelet counts (thrombocytopenia purpura), low blood pressure, liver or kidney damage, and paralysis. A case of severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis with facial swelling and loss of consciousness) was reported in a woman who consumed about one cup of chopped parsley daily for years; she tested positive for parsley allergy on skin testing.

There is not enough safety data on medicinal or large amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this if you're pregnant or nursing.

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.

Before taking this parsley supplement, double-check these medication types with your pharmacist: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (including warfarin and aspirin), diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), and sedatives like pentobarbital. If you take sirolimus for transplant, mention this supplement as well.

The interactions are Moderate severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Parsley supplement may interest you if you're exploring herbal options, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. It has moderate interactions with blood thinners, diabetes drugs, diuretics, and several others—so check your exact medications before starting.

Stick with food amounts unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Parsley, Freeze-Dried8 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 500 mg by Dr. Clark Store: Common Questions

Does Parsley 500 mg by Dr. Clark Store interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Parsley 500 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 500 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 to take every day?
At food amounts, yes. As a supplement at higher doses, the safety data isn't solid. The concern is rare but serious effects at very high intakes—so stick with normal food amounts unless your doctor or pharmacist says otherwise.
Can I take this with my blood thinner?
No, not without checking with your pharmacist first. Parsley can theoretically increase bleeding risk with drugs like warfarin or aspirin, and it contains vitamin K, which interferes with warfarin. Your pharmacist needs to review your specific medication.
Will this help my blood sugar?
Animal research suggests parsley might lower blood sugar, but the evidence for how well it works in humans isn't established in the data we hold. If you take diabetes medication, parsley could theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar—so talk with your doctor before using it.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for concentrated supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Parsley as food is fine, but medicinal amounts haven't been studied well enough. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What's the difference between parsley supplement and eating parsley?
This is 500 mg of freeze-dried parsley per capsule—a concentrated form. Food amounts of fresh parsley are generally well tolerated. The interactions and safety concerns we see mostly apply to supplements and large or concentrated doses.
Does this interact with my water pill?
Possibly. Animal research suggests parsley might enhance or interfere with diuretics. Check with your pharmacist before combining them, especially since both can affect your fluid balance.
