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 traditionally used as a nutritional supplement.
The powder also contains dextrin, an inactive ingredient used as a carrier or filler.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The product facts we hold do not include effectiveness ratings for watercress extract, so we don't have established evidence data on what it may or may not do for any particular health goal.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Watercress is generally well tolerated when you eat it in normal food amounts. However, the safety data available is limited for concentrated supplements like this powder, so the facts advise against relying on medicinal or concentrated doses without more research.
When taken in excessive amounts, watercress can cause stomach and digestive irritation. Raw, wild watercress — especially from untreated water — can carry parasitic flukes that cause a liver infection called fascioliasis, with symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash.
A clinical study found that a standardized extract at 750 mg per kilogram of body weight daily for five weeks did not harm liver function, which is reassuring, but overall safety data for concentrated supplements remains limited. Topically, watercress can cause contact dermatitis (an itchy rash or swelling).
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications if you take lithium, chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex), or warfarin (Coumadin) before using this product. All three have documented Moderate-severity interactions with watercress.
No other medication interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient.
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 is a single-ingredient extract that may appeal to people looking for watercress in concentrated form. If you take lithium, a muscle relaxer like chlorzoxazone, or the blood thinner warfarin, you'll need to talk with your pharmacist before starting.
The safety data on medicinal doses is thin, so ask your pharmacist whether food amounts make sense for you.

Watercress Extract Powder 900 mg by BulkSupplements.com Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Watercress Extract Powder by BulkSupplements.com does interact with several medications.
The most serious concern is with lithium — watercress's diuretic properties may reduce how your body gets rid of lithium and raise its levels to potentially harmful amounts.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to watch for interactions with muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex). Watercress can slow down how your body breaks down this drug, raising its concentration in your blood by as much as 56% and extending how long it stays active — meaning stronger effects and more side effects.
Additionally, if you take the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin), watercress contains vitamin K, which can work against warfarin's ability to thin your blood, especially if you consume large amounts.
Additionally, this ingredient has no other documented interactions in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 6 individual medications.

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.
