HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Parsley Extract by BulkSupplements.com

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: parsley extract. Parsley is a culinary herb used in traditional medicine for a range of purposes, from urinary tract support to skin health.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this powder.

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 Parsley product and its label doesn't state a use — see Parsley'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 parsley extract is effective for urinary tract infections, melasma (a skin pigmentation condition), osteoarthritis, nonmelanoma skin cancer, or insect bite relief. The data on file rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the research isn't robust enough yet for us to say either way.

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 as a food is generally well tolerated. At low to moderate doses as a supplement, it seems fine for most people.

At large doses, though, safety becomes a concern. The safety data advises against concentrated extracts, seeds, and essential oil in large amounts.

Serious side effects from very high doses—like 200 grams of parsley oil or 10 grams or more of its constituents apiole or myristicin—are rare but can include hemolytic anemia (damage to red blood cells), low blood pressure, kidney or liver damage, and blood clotting problems. There's also one reported case of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction with swelling) after long-term daily consumption of chopped parsley in a person who tested positive for a parsley allergy.

Because the safety data for concentrated supplements is limited, food amounts are likely fine, but avoid high-dose or long-term supplementation without your doctor's guidance.

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.

Before you start parsley extract, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of these: blood thinners like warfarin or other anticoagulants (Moderate), blood-thinning or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate), diabetes medications (Moderate), diuretics or water pills (Moderate), sedatives or barbiturates like pentobarbital (Moderate), or sirolimus after an organ transplant (Moderate). If you take aspirin and have a known parsley allergy, mention that too (Minor).

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.

Parsley extract may be worth considering if you're exploring traditional herbal options, but it's not one to start without checking in first—especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, diuretics, sedatives, or are on sirolimus after a transplant. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your medications and whether this product is right for you, and stick to moderate doses only.

Parsley extract8 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 Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Parsley Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Parsley Extract 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 Extract 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 extract safe during pregnancy?
No. The safety data rates parsley as likely unsafe in pregnancy because medicinal or large amounts may stimulate the uterus. Stick to normal food amounts only, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
What about breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data on file to say whether parsley extract is safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Are there any side effects at normal doses?
At low to moderate doses, parsley seems well tolerated. At large doses, side effects can occur—and very high doses carry the risk of serious problems like anemia, low blood pressure, and kidney or liver damage. Stay within recommended serving sizes.
What is parsley extract used for?
Parsley has been used traditionally for urinary tract infections, melasma, osteoarthritis, skin cancer, and insect bites. However, we don't have strong evidence yet that it works for any of these. The research isn't established enough to confirm effectiveness.
Can parsley extract cause an allergic reaction?
Yes, though it's rare. One case of anaphylaxis—a severe allergic reaction—was reported in someone who'd eaten chopped parsley nearly daily for years. If you've had any reaction to parsley before, avoid this supplement and mention it to your doctor.
What's the difference between parsley as a food and parsley extract?
Parsley as a seasoning or in recipes is safe for most people. Concentrated extracts, seeds, and essential oils are much more potent and carry higher safety risks, especially in large amounts. This product is a concentrated extract, so dose and duration matter.
