Many recent international studies have shown that this familiar vegetable can support the liver and kidneys thanks to its antioxidant properties and support the body's natural metabolism.
According to Dr. - nutritionist Cynthia Sass (USA), coriander contains many flavonoid compounds and vitamin C that help reduce oxidative stress, a factor that causes the liver to overwork. The plant compounds in coriander help the body reduce the metabolic burden, helping the liver maintain stable function, she said.
For the kidneys, a nutritional report published in the Journal of Food Science shows that coriander extract can help regulate renal plaque filtering levels and improve mild inflammatory responses. However, the group of experts emphasized that this is not a detoxification method, but a natural support through a healthy diet.
Nutritionist David Katz (USA) also believes that the best way to take advantage of the benefits of coriander is to add it to your daily meals: Using coriander as part of a diet rich in green vegetables, low in salt and low in saturated fat will bring sustainable benefits to the liver and kidneys. He recommends that people should eat coriander in the form of raw vegetables, add it to soups, porridge or steamed dishes, instead of using high-dose extracts.
Despite its many benefits, doctors note that people with chronic kidney disease should consult a specialist if they intend to use coriander in large quantities, because this vegetable contains oxalate, which may not be suitable for some special cases.
Experts agree that coriander does not detoxify the liver and kidneys in the sense of completely eliminating toxins, but can help support these two organs when combined with a healthy lifestyle: limit alcohol, get enough sleep and maintain daily exercise.
