Coriandrum sativum Supercritical CO2 Extract (Coriander Fruit)

Also known as: coriander extract, coriander fruit extract, supercritical CO2 coriander, coriander seed extract

C
Evidence

Coriandrum sativum (coriander) supercritical CO2 extract is a concentrated form of coriander fruit enriched in linalool, a monoterpene with potential anxiolytic and mild nootropic properties. Limited clinical evidence exists for cognitive or mood benefits in humans.

Primary uses

  • Stress and anxiety support
  • Cognitive function
  • Mood regulation
  • Sleep quality

How it works

  • Linalool may act as a GABAergic modulator with anxiolytic properties
  • Potential antioxidant effects from volatile compounds
  • May have mild sedative properties via terpene profiles

Dosage

Typical range
100-500 mg daily extract (or as directed on label)
Timing
Can be taken with meals or between meals; some prefer evening for stress/sleep support
With food
No specific requirement; taking with food may reduce any potential GI sensitivity
Duration
Typical use is ongoing for chronic stress support; effects may take 2-4 weeks to manifest
Special populations
Pregnant/nursing women should consult a healthcare provider before use

Forms

  • Liquid extract solution· 70/100
  • Supercritical CO2 extract· 70/100

Safety

Common side effects

  • Generally well-tolerated
  • Rare: mild GI upset
  • Rare: allergic reactions in people sensitive to Apiaceae family plants

Contraindications

  • Known allergy to coriander or other Apiaceae family plants (carrot, celery, parsnip, fennel)
  • Pregnancy and nursing (insufficient safety data)

Evidence notes

Coriander fruit and linalool have been studied in traditional contexts and in vitro, with some animal studies showing anxiolytic potential. Human clinical trials are very limited. Supercritical CO2 extraction is a high-quality extraction method but does not independently strengthen the evidence base. Grade reflects preliminary human evidence.

Grade C: Mostly observational or small trials; mechanism is plausible but unproven at scale.
