HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Watercress Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 24, 2026

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: watercress herb extract, a concentrated form of the leafy green vegetable. Watercress has been used traditionally as a nutritious food and herbal supplement.

The liquid is made with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Watercress product and its label doesn't state a use — see Watercress'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.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for watercress in the data available to us. That means the strength of evidence for its use as a supplement isn't established in our records.

If you're interested in what research shows about watercress for a specific health purpose, that's a good question for your doctor or pharmacist.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Watercress

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.

Watercress is generally well tolerated when you eat it in normal food amounts. However, concentrated supplements like this one come with caution flags: safety data is limited for medicinal doses.

Excessive doses can cause stomach upset. Raw, wild watercress can carry parasitic flukes that cause liver disease, though the extract used here hasn't shown liver damage in trials.

Pregnancy is a concern: the safety data rates watercress as likely unsafe during pregnancy. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data on file to say either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing or planning to.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Watercress

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 — Watercress.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; lithium.
  • For scale: 6 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.

Check before taking this if you use lithium (a mood stabilizer), chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer), or warfarin (a blood thinner). All three interact with watercress, with the strongest concern being lithium, where watercress may raise blood levels dangerously.

Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether it's safe for you in your situation.

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.

This product is best suited to adults looking for watercress in supplement form who don't take lithium, chlorzoxazone, or warfarin. Pregnant people should avoid it.

Before you start — whether or not you think your medications are affected — check the names of any prescription drugs you take with the tool on this page, or sit down with your own pharmacist to review them.

For each ingredient in Watercress Alcohol Free with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Watercress Herb Extract, Dry3 drug types · 6 drugs

Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)

Watercress might reduce the metabolism of chlorzoxazone and increase its effects and side effects. Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that a single ingestion of watercress 50 grams increases the chlorzoxazone plasma concentration-time curve by about 56% and increases its half-life by about 53%.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Lithium

Watercress is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, watercress might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Watercress contains vitamin K. Consuming large amounts of watercress might antagonize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
