At least one study has found that coriander can significantly reduce total serum testosterone. Is this a concern with ND’s supercritical extract?

That's an Iraqi study that bought coriander leaves from a local market in Baghdad, seemingly not lab tested, then put through a basic extraction before being given to albino mice. Shitty study design notwithstanding, those are the leaves of coriander, more commonly known here as cilantro. Our supercritical extract is made from the SEEDS of coriander, not the leaves. The study wouldn't be applicable because of that, on top of it being a shitty study in general. They even mention the difference/limitation in the study.
Al-Suhaimi [28] reported that C. sativum did not appear to exert negative effect on testosterone levels and reproductive functions after treated rabbits with C. sativum seed extract for 7 days. One reason for this discrepancy in the studies that coriander leaves and seeds did not contain the same active compounds. The phytochemicals of seed and leaves are completely different [13].
