HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Parsley Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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 powder. Parsley is an herb used in cooking and traditional medicine, and this powder form lets you add it to foods or drinks.

There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 for parsley powder's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. Studies suggest it may help with urinary tract infections, melasma (a skin pigmentation condition), osteoarthritis, insect bites, and nonmelanoma skin cancer, but the research is too limited or unreliable to rate it confidently for any of these uses.

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 is generally well tolerated as food in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplements, seeds, and essential oils may not be safe in large doses — very high amounts (200 grams of parsley oil or 10 grams or more of the compounds apiole or myristicin) can cause serious effects including hemolytic anemia, kidney or liver impairment, low blood pressure, and bleeding disorders.

Rare cases of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) have been reported. During pregnancy, medicinal or large amounts of parsley may stimulate the uterus; stick to normal food amounts only.

There isn't enough safety data for concentrated supplements in pregnancy. For breastfeeding, safety data isn't on file — 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.

Before taking parsley powder, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — parsley contains vitamin K and may interfere with their effects or increase bleeding risk. Also check if you're on diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), immunosuppressants like sirolimus, sedatives like pentobarbital, or medications broken down by your liver's CYP1A2 enzyme — parsley may alter how these work.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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 leaf powder might appeal to you if you're interested in culinary herbs with traditional uses, but the evidence for specific health benefits isn't strong enough to rate. If you take blood thinners, diabetes meds, water pills, or certain other medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this powder — parsley has documented interactions with several drug types.

Pregnant women should avoid medicinal amounts. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you start.

Parsley powder8 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 Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Parsley Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Parsley Leaf Powder 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 Leaf 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.
Can I take parsley powder if I'm pregnant?
Safety data advises against medicinal or large amounts of parsley during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus. Normal food amounts are likely fine, but if you're pregnant or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking a supplement.
Is parsley powder safe to use every day?
Parsley is generally well tolerated in low to moderate doses. Large doses may be unsafe, and very high amounts (especially concentrated forms) can cause serious side effects including anemia, kidney problems, and bleeding disorders. Use normal amounts, and talk with your pharmacist if you're thinking of taking it daily long-term.
I'm allergic to parsley — should I avoid this powder?
Yes, if you have a known parsley allergy, avoid this powder. There are rare but serious cases of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) reported with parsley. Also, if you take aspirin and have a mild parsley allergy, the combination may worsen allergic symptoms.
Does parsley powder actually work for UTIs or arthritis?
The evidence for parsley's effectiveness in treating urinary tract infections, arthritis, or other conditions is too limited or unreliable to rate it confidently. Traditional use suggests possible benefits, but research-backed proof isn't there yet.
What's in this powder besides parsley?
This product contains only parsley powder — there are no other inactive ingredients like fillers or binders added.
Can parsley powder lower my blood sugar?
Animal research suggests parsley may decrease blood glucose. If you take diabetes medications, parsley could increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this powder and watch your glucose levels closely.
