Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that you should not expect a significant health benefit from this supplement based on the available data. The product label lists "Cilantro," but the only detailed ingredient information provided is for calcium, which is not the primary active in this herb [NIH ODS]. For a general audience seeking evidence-based advice, the data is insufficient to support any specific health claim for this product.
How it works
Regarding the calcium component, it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, there is no data provided on how cilantro itself works, so its mechanism of action is unknown based on the information available to us. Data not available for cilantro-specific mechanisms.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data]. For the calcium ingredient, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause side effects including constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Specific side effect report counts for this product are not available.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Because the provided data focuses on calcium rather than cilantro, and no specific health effects for this product are documented, we cannot recommend this supplement for any specific purpose based on the data provided. Talk with your healthcare provider before using this product, especially if you take medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, or levothyroxine, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
