HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Watercress Mint Flavor by TerraVita
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 Glycerite Liquid Extract. It's a concentrated liquid form of watercress, a leafy green vegetable traditionally used in herbal preparations.
The inactive ingredients are glycerin (the base that carries the extract) and mint flavoring.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
No effectiveness data is on file in our records for watercress. The product facts we hold don't include any ratings for what this ingredient may help with, so we can't speak to whether it works for any particular purpose.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Watercress is generally well tolerated when eaten in normal food amounts. However, because this is a concentrated liquid extract rather than whole food, the safety picture changes.
The data advises caution with medicinal or concentrated doses — there simply isn't enough reliable information about how safe high amounts are. Excessive doses can cause stomach and digestive irritation.
Raw, wild watercress can harbor parasitic flukes that cause fascioliasis, a liver infection with symptoms including abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, hives, and swelling. This product is unlikely to carry that risk (commercial extracts are processed), but it's worth knowing.
Topical contact with watercress can trigger a rash, hives, itching, or skin swelling in some people. Pregnancy safety data rates watercress as likely unsafe — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on lithium (mood stabilizer), chlorzoxazone (muscle relaxant), or warfarin (blood thinner) — all three have documented moderate-severity interactions with watercress. These aren't absolute no-gos, but your prescriber needs to know you're adding this.
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 concentrated watercress extract isn't meant for casual use — it's a medicinal supplement with sparse safety data at high doses. If you take lithium, chlorzoxazone, warfarin, or any other prescription medication, check it against your drug list before you start.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Run this one by your doctor or pharmacist first.

Watercress Mint Flavor by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita's Watercress Mint Flavor Liquid can interact with medications through its watercress content.
The most serious concerns are moderate-severity interactions with lithium (a mood stabilizer), chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxant), and warfarin (a blood thinner). With lithium, watercress's diuretic properties may reduce how your kidneys clear lithium, raising its levels in your blood.
Chlorzoxazone is affected differently — watercress slows how your body breaks it down, which can increase both the drug's effects and side effects; clinical data shows a single 50-gram dose of watercress raises chlorzoxazone levels by about 56%. Warfarin faces antagonism because watercress contains vitamin K, which can weaken the blood thinner's ability to prevent clots if you consume large amounts.

Watercress Glycerite Liquid 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.
