HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Watercress Strawberry 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 made by extracting watercress — a leafy green vegetable — into a liquid form with glycerin as the carrier.
The liquid also includes strawberry flavoring. Glycerin and strawberry flavor are inactive ingredients (excipients) that help with taste and texture.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The product facts provided don't include effectiveness ratings for watercress, so we don't have evidence established in our data about what this product is intended to do or how well it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Watercress is generally well tolerated when you eat it in normal food amounts. Because this is a concentrated liquid extract — not just food — the caution is to avoid medicinal or concentrated doses due to limited safety data.
At very high doses, watercress can irritate your stomach and intestines. Raw, wild watercress can sometimes carry parasitic flukes that cause a liver infection called fascioliasis, though cultivated watercress used in supplements is typically safe from this risk.
If you apply watercress topically, it can cause contact dermatitis — rash, itching, hives, or swelling.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist right away if you take lithium, chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex), or warfarin (Coumadin). All three have moderate-severity interactions with watercress and your dosing or medication may need adjustment.
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 might appeal to you if you're looking for a vegetable-based supplement, but it's not for anyone taking lithium, chlorzoxazone, warfarin, or similar medications without a pharmacist's okay. Talk to us before you start, especially if you're on any blood thinners or mood stabilizers.

Watercress Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Watercress Glycerite Liquid Extract by TerraVita does interact with several medications, so you'll want to check your prescriptions before starting it.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The biggest concern is with lithium, a mood-stabilizing medication. Watercress appears to have diuretic properties — meaning it may increase urine output — and this could reduce how much lithium your body clears, raising its levels in your blood.
That's a moderate-severity interaction.
You should also be cautious if you take chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxant sold as Parafon Forte or Paraflex) or warfarin (a blood thinner). Watercress may slow how your liver breaks down chlorzoxazone, increasing how much of the drug stays in your system and boosting its effects and side effects — clinical data shows a single large dose of watercress raised chlorzoxazone levels by about 56%.
Warfarin is affected because watercress contains vitamin K, which can work against warfarin's blood-thinning action if you consume large amounts.
Altogether, these interactions span 6 individual medications. If you're on any of these drugs or anything else by prescription, use the interaction checker below with your exact medication names before you add this product.

For each ingredient in Watercress Strawberry Flavor 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 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.
