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.

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: 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
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.

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.

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—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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Watercress Extract Powder 900 mg 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 Whole Herb Extract3 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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
