HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Watercress Extract Powder 900 mg 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: watercress whole herb extract at 900 mg per serving. Watercress is a leafy green vegetable—you might recognize it from salads—and the extract concentrates its nutrients.
The powder also contains dextrin, an inactive ingredient used as a filler.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The product facts we hold don't include effectiveness ratings for watercress extract, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows it does or doesn't do. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, it's worth asking your pharmacist or doctor what research exists for that particular use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Watercress is generally well tolerated when you eat it in normal food amounts—the salad-sized portions you'd find in a grocery store. Because this is a concentrated extract powder, though, the safety data is limited.
Excessive doses can cause stomach upset. Raw wild watercress, if contaminated, carries a risk of parasitic fluke infection (fascioliasis), which causes liver disease with symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting—though a clinical trial of a standardized extract at high doses showed no increase in liver function markers.
If applied to skin, watercress can cause contact dermatitis, with hives, rash, itching, or swelling.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications before starting if you take lithium (a mood stabilizer), chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer), or warfarin (a blood thinner). Watercress may raise lithium levels, boost chlorzoxazone effects, and reduce warfarin's blood-thinning power.
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.
Watercress extract is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but this powder is concentrated and the long-term safety data is thin. If you take lithium, chlorzoxazone, or warfarin—or any other regular medication—check with your pharmacist before starting.
Food amounts of watercress are fine; concentrated supplements are the caution.

Watercress Extract Powder 900 mg by BulkSupplements.com Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Watercress Extract Powder by BulkSupplements.com does interact with several medications, and there are a few important ones to flag before you start.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The most serious concern is with lithium, a mood stabilizer used for bipolar disorder. Watercress has diuretic properties—meaning it may increase urination—and that could theoretically reduce how your body clears lithium and raise its levels in your blood.
Lithium has a narrow therapeutic window, so even a small shift matters.
You'll also want to check if you take chlorzoxazone, a muscle relaxer, or warfarin, a blood thinner. Watercress may slow how your body breaks down chlorzoxazone and boost its levels and side effects—clinical research shows a single large dose of watercress raised chlorzoxazone levels by roughly 56% and extended how long it stays in your system.
Warfarin's effectiveness could be reduced because watercress contains vitamin K, which the body uses to clot blood and can work against blood thinners.
Altogether, these interactions span 6 individual medications. Run your exact prescriptions through the medication checker on this page before you add this supplement.

Watercress Whole Herb Extract
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%.
Lithium
Watercress is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, watercress might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Watercress contains vitamin K. Consuming large amounts of watercress might antagonize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
