Parsley Extract
Parsley extract is a botanical supplement with antioxidant, diuretic, and anti-inflammatory properties, most often used to support kidney and urinary health.
Parsley extract is derived from the leaves, seeds, or roots of the Petroselinum crispum plant. It contains bioactive flavonoids, volatile oils, vitamins, and minerals, and is traditionally used for urinary support, antioxidant effects, and as a mild anti-inflammatory agent.
Evidence from animal and in vitro studies supports antioxidant and diuretic benefits; human research is limited but suggests similar activities.
Antioxidant Support

Diuretic and Kidney Health
LimitedParsley extract may promote urine production, supporting kidney function and potentially aiding in fluid balance. Traditional use and animal research suggest benefit in minor edema and urinary tract comfort.
Anti-Inflammatory Activity
LimitedThe flavonoids and oils in parsley extract may help reduce inflammation markers, potentially providing relief for mild inflammatory conditions.
