HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Watercress Sugar Free Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra
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 liquid contains one active ingredient: watercress herb extract (dried form). Watercress is a leafy green vegetable used in herbal medicine for its nutrient density.
The product also contains two inactive ingredients — glycerin and water — which serve as the liquid base and preservative.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We hold no effectiveness ratings for watercress in our data, so the evidence for its specific health claims isn't established here. Watercress is a nutritious food, but we can't speak to what this concentrated extract is meant to do based on the product facts alone.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Watercress is generally well tolerated when you eat it in normal food amounts. This product is a concentrated extract, though, and safety data for medicinal doses is limited — the facts advise sticking to food amounts and avoiding concentrated supplements.
In very high doses, watercress can irritate your stomach and bowel. Raw, wild watercress can harbor parasitic flukes that cause fascioliasis, a serious liver disease with symptoms like belly pain, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Clinical research found that a standardized watercress extract at 750 mg per kilogram of body weight daily for 5 weeks did not harm the liver. Topically, watercress can cause contact dermatitis — a skin rash, hives, itching, or swelling.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist if you take lithium, chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex), or warfarin (Coumadin). All three have Moderate interactions with watercress — lithium levels may rise, chlorzoxazone effects may strengthen, and warfarin's blood-thinning power may weaken.
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.
If you take lithium, chlorzoxazone, or warfarin, talk with your pharmacist before using this product — the interactions are real and could affect how your drugs work. For anyone else, food amounts of watercress are fine, but concentrated supplements like this one come with limited safety data.

Watercress Sugar Free Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbal Terra's Watercress Sugar Free Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient liquid extract that does interact with several medications.
The most serious concern is lithium — watercress may have mild diuretic (water-shedding) properties that could reduce how your kidneys clear lithium, potentially raising it to unsafe levels. This is a Moderate-severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Two other Moderate interactions matter here. Watercress can slow how your body breaks down chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex), a muscle relaxant; studies show a single dose of watercress increased its blood levels by about 56% and how long it stays in your body by about 53%.
Additionally, watercress contains vitamin K, which can work against warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner (anticoagulant) — eating large amounts might reduce warfarin's effectiveness.
Additionally, we could not find interaction data for several other medications. Altogether, these interactions span 6 individual medications.

Watercress Herb Extract, Dry
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.
