HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bowel Detox Formula Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This formula contains 3 active ingredients. Chlorophyll powder is the green pigment from plants.

The other two—kelp powder and psyllium fiber—are included for their roles in digestive health, though we don't have interaction data on file for them. There are no inactive fillers or other excipients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Chlorophyll's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: bowel detoxification and digestive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Colostomy odor, Halitosis, intestinal health, bowel regularity.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Colostomy odor (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Halitosis.

The evidence for chlorophyll itself is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for genital herpes, wound healing, shingles, nonmelanoma skin cancer, or pancreatitis.

For the other ingredients in this blend—kelp and psyllium—effectiveness ratings are not included in the product facts we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyll

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but high-quality safety data are limited. The most common side effect when taken by mouth is photosensitization—increased sensitivity of your skin to sunlight.

Rarely, oral chlorophyll has been reported to cause pseudoporphyria, a condition with blistering on the hands. The safety notes advise against use during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable information, and breastfeeding safety is unknown, so it should be avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyll

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Chlorophyll.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 337 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before taking if you use methotrexate (Moderate interaction) or any photosensitizing drugs that increase skin sensitivity to sunlight (Moderate interaction). The two other ingredients—kelp and psyllium—have no interaction data we could check, so confirm those with your pharmacist as well.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take methotrexate or any drug that makes you photosensitive, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk it over with your healthcare provider first.

For most people, chlorophyll appears generally well tolerated, but the evidence for this formula's specific uses isn't well established.

For each ingredient in Bowel Detox Formula Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Chlorophyll powder2 drug types · 337 drugs

Methotrexate (Trexall, Others)

Theoretically, chlorophyll may reduce the clearance of methotrexate.
In one case report, a 54-year-old male developed delayed clearance of intravenous high-dose methotrexate with concomitant use of chlorophyll. When chlorophyll was stopped 2 days prior to methotrexate treatment, methotrexate clearance was unaffected.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chlorophyll with photosensitizing drugs may have additive effects.
Chlorophyll has been reported to cause photosensitization. In two case reports, pseudoporphyria developed after oral intake of chlorophyll. Theoretically, concomitant use with other photosensitizing drugs may exacerbate this effect.

Bowel Detox Formula Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Bowel Detox Formula Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bowel Detox Formula Powder has a known interaction with 337 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bowel Detox Formula Powder contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advise against chlorophyll during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it—they can help you decide whether this product is right for you.
What's chlorophyll, and why is it in this detox formula?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants. It's included in detox and cleansing formulas, though the evidence for its effectiveness in those uses is limited. We rate the evidence as insufficient for the conditions studied.
Could this make my skin more sensitive to the sun?
Yes. Photosensitization—increased sensitivity to sunlight—is the most common side effect of oral chlorophyll reported. If you're already taking a medication that causes photosensitivity, this product may make it worse.
What if I'm taking methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis or cancer?
Check with your doctor or pharmacist first. One case report showed chlorophyll delayed how the body clears methotrexate, which could raise the drug to unsafe levels. Your prescriber will want to know.
Are there any fillers or inactive ingredients?
No inactive fillers are listed on this product.
