You’ve probably eaten foods with coriander in it at some point in your life, perhaps you have even cooked with the little coriander seeds yourself, but we are willing to bet you’ve never considered that it possesses some very powerful compounds! Neither did we when we first came across this unique supercritical CO2 extract of coriander, but when we entered it into our beta-testing program, we were all blown away by the effects!* Within 15-30 minutes after dosing the coriander extract, we started to feel a warm relaxing wave come over us, our muscles relaxed and the stress of the day rapidly faded away.* These effects kept increasing, sending us into a deeper, and deeper state of serene relaxation.* We were sold, and yet, still surprised by these modest little seeds, from which cilantro grows!
Coriander is very high in linalool, a compound also often found in lavender, hops and hemp. Within these plants, the linalool content also plays a major role in the relaxing effects. However, the linalool that is in coriander, is a special form, the (S)-(+) enantiomer, while lavender, hops and hemp contain the (R)-(−) enantiomer. This has a significant effect on the aroma of linalool, with the (S)-(+) enantiomer being much fruitier in aroma. In terms of effects however, there is not a lot of research on the different enantiomers, but anecdotally, when compared to lavender derived linalool we found the coriander derived linalool to be superior in its calming properties. So, if you are looking for a seriously relaxing supplement, our supercritical CO2 coriander extract is for you!*
Coriander comes from Coriandrum sativum, which is an aromatic plant with small white flowers. Coriandrum sativum seeds are known as coriander while the leaves are commonly referred to as cilantro! It is also a part of the Apiaceae family and is grown throughout Asia, Europe and Africa. Coriander has seen extensive use throughout history, in fact, a large amount of coriander was even found in the tomb of king Tutankhamun!
The coriander seeds are very high in the fruity smelling enantiomer of the terpene linalool, (S)-(+) linalool. This is in direct contrast to another very popular linalool source, lavender, which contains the (R)-(−) enantiomer. To get this special linalool enantiomer out of the coriander seeds, we decided to go with a very unique extraction method called supercritical CO2. CO2 can exist in multiple different states, most commonly as a gas, but under special circumstances CO2 can also exist as a solid (dry ice) and as a supercritical liquid. To get CO2 into the supercritical liquid state, very specific temperatures and pressures must be used. Once the supercritical state has been reached, CO2 can act like a solvent. The supercritical CO2 liquid is then forced through coriander seeds, and at the end of the extraction, we are left with the cleanest and most potent possible coriander oil with a whopping 15% linalool content!*
Linalool has very pronounced effects on the GABAergic system, and because our supercritical CO2 coriander extract is very high in linalool, this means it possesses prominent GABAergic effects. This is where the majority of the mental and physical relaxation effects come from. These effects are further potentiated by linalools ability to block NMDA receptors and the serotonin transporter, while also interacting with glycinergic, adrenergic and adenosinergic signaling. By hitting these targets, our coriander extract produces a wonderful and powerful relaxing effect that has quickly become a favorite around the office!
Not only do these neurological mechanisms aid in relaxation, they also help enhance sleep quality. Several studies found that coriander supplementation can help to increase sleep times and even help to regulate stress levels, which makes sense, given linalools ability to lower cortisol levels! Anecdotally, taking our coriander extract before bed made it much easier to fall asleep, while also making it easier to stay asleep.*
The neurological effects also have a significant effect on neurological pain processing. This can be felt fairly acutely, by the prominent physical relaxation effects. Given that pain can also seriously get in the way of sleep, this makes our coriander extract an ideal pre-bedtime supplement when you are experiencing pain!*
One of our favorite uses for the coriander supercritical CO2 extract has been as a pleasant relaxation agent after the work day is over.* Take some coriander extract, put some nice music on, a great movie, a binge worthy TV show or a fantastic book, and float away into the ether!
The Relaxation Stack: Supercritical CO2 Coriander + Lemon Balm Tablets
Lemon Balm is well known for its relaxation benefits that pair perfectly with Supercritical CO2 Coriander! By blocking an enzyme called GABA transaminase, which breaks down GABA, lemon balm is able to enhance GABA levels. This pairs perfectly with the GABAergic effects of the coriander extract, making for a powerful relaxation stack.*
Night Cap Stack: Supercritical CO2 Coriander + Red Reishi Mushroom Ultra Concentrated Extract Capsules
Our new ultra-concentrated red reishi extract has a wonderful effect on sleep, yet it is quite subtle when it comes to sleep induction. However, by boosting the sleep induction effect with our coriander extract, we end up with a highly effective sleep stack!*
Healthy Stress Levels Stack: Supercritical CO2 Coriander + Schisandra Capsules
As another amazing herb, Schisandra has been used for its stress management effects! When combined with Supercritical CO2 Coriander, this combination creates the perfect stack for all things stress management!*
As a dietary supplement, take one 250mg capsule of Supercritical CO2 Coriander daily

Nootropics Depot offers 30ct. or 60ct. jars of high-quality Supercritical CO2 Coriander. Nootropics Depot’s Supercritical CO2 Coriander has been lab-tested and verified for both product purity and identity.
Attention: These capsules are made of gelatin, unlike all our other capsules made of vegetable cellulose. The coriander extract was causing instability in the veggie capsules, so we had to move it to gelatin to keep the capsules from breaking down. As such, this product is not vegan like our other capsules.

Finally a solution to my insomnia! I was on nightly Klonopin for 14 years and also quit cannabis after years of nightly use. I feel so much better that I'm no longer suppressing REM sleep. But the insomnia has been brutal, waking 5+ times a night. Tried everything. Finally I tried Coriander stacked with Lemon Balm & Tryptophan and a cup of Chamomile tea. Next I plan to add in Sleep Support. Took this stack within 30 minutes of going to bed.
Relaxing without sedation. Great for productivity when stressed.
Helps my stress-related insomnia. 1 before bed helps me fall asleep faster and seems to produce deeper sleep. Just wish there was a time release version, as it wears off after 4-5 hrs and taking a second dose in the middle of the night leaves me feeling too groggy in the morning.
Seems definitely calm inducing and can help with sleep, especially in combination with other such compounds. BUT never take this supercritical stuff when your stomach is unwell. You'll be throwing up super-critical-coriander-stomach-acid all through the night, and when coriander tastes like soap to you, it's even worse...
It’s a nice addition to any sleep stack, but it’s not necessarily anything profound. I’m not certain how it is on its own but I take it with Magnesium L-Threonate and the effects are negligible.
