HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chlorodex by DNA Dynamic Nutritional Associates

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 2 active ingredients.

Chlorodex is a liquid supplement with two active ingredients: chlorophyllin (a semi-synthetic derivative of the green pigment in plants) and copper sodium chlorophyll. No inactive fillers or binders are listed.

Chlorophyllin has traditionally been used for odor control and general wellness, while copper is an essential mineral your body needs for various functions including nerve and connective-tissue health.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Detoxification and blood purification.
  • We looked for evidence on: Body odor, Copper deficiency, Fecal odor, Urinary odor, Wound healing, Internal cleansing — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Copper is rated "Likely Effective" for Copper deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chlorophyllin is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary odor.
  • Also on file: Chlorophyllin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing, Body odor, Fecal odor.

Chlorophyllin's evidence is mixed. It's rated possibly ineffective for urinary odor—the main reason people historically use it—and there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for acne, cancer, constipation, flatulence, or low white blood cell count (leukopenia).

Copper is rated likely effective for treating actual copper deficiency, but possibly ineffective for Alzheimer's disease. For acne, chemotherapy-related anemia, and brain tumors, the evidence is insufficient to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyllin Copper

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated in the short term, but we don't have robust long-term safety data. It's not recommended in pregnancy because we don't have enough reliable safety information, and the same goes for breastfeeding.

Orally, chlorophyll can cause sun sensitivity (photosensitization) and in case reports has been linked to pseudoporphyria—a condition that causes blisters, especially on hands, after sun exposure or trauma. Copper is safe in food and standard supplement amounts, but excess copper is toxic.

It's needed during pregnancy, so stay within recommended doses and don't use high-dose supplements without medical guidance. The same caution applies while breastfeeding.

A small number of people have reported contact dermatitis from copper, and very rarely, topical copper sulfate caused superficial burns in young children.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyllin Copper

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Chlorophyllin, Copper.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 366 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.

Before you take Chlorodex, check if you're on photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase sun sensitivity)—chlorophyllin may intensify that effect. If you take penicillamine (an older chelation or rheumatoid arthritis medication), separate this supplement by at least 2 hours to avoid blocking its absorption.

Oral contraceptive users should also mention this product, since it may raise copper levels. Use the search tool below with your full medication list.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Chlorodex may interest people looking for general chlorophyll supplementation, but the evidence for its traditional uses (like odor control) is weak. If you take photosensitizing drugs, penicillamine, or oral contraceptives, check with us first.

Chlorophyllin1 drug type · 335 drugs

Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chlorophyllin with photosensitizing drugs may have additive effects.
Chlorophyllin is a semi-synthetic derivative of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been reported to cause photosensitization. Orally, chlorophyll has also been associated with the development of pseudoporphyria in multiple case reports.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Chlorophyllin full monograph & interactions

Copper Sodium Chlorophyll2 drug types · 31 drugs

Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen)

Theoretically, taking copper with penicillamine might decrease the absorption of penicillamine; separate dosing by at least 2 hours.
Copper chelates penicillamine, which decreases its absorption and may reduce its clinical effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, taking copper with contraceptive drugs might increase the levels and toxic effects of copper.
A meta-analysis of clinical studies suggests that chronic use of oral contraceptives increases serum copper levels by a mean of 57 mcg/dL. In most people, this resulted in levels above the normal reference range for copper.

Chlorodex by DNA Dynamic Nutritional Associates: Common Questions

Does Chlorodex by DNA Dynamic Nutritional Associates interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chlorodex has a known interaction with 366 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chlorodex contains 2 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 or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it in pregnancy—we don't have enough reliable information. The same goes for breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does chlorophyllin actually reduce body odor?
It's rated possibly ineffective for urinary odor, which is the main reason people use it. The evidence doesn't support that use.
What's copper sodium chlorophyll and why is it in here?
It's a form of the mineral copper bound to chlorophyll. Copper is an essential nutrient your body needs, and it's rated likely effective for treating copper deficiency specifically.
Can this make me more sensitive to the sun?
Chlorophyllin is reported to cause photosensitization (sun sensitivity). If you're already taking medications that do this, the effect may be worse. Protect your skin or talk to us first.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Chlorophyllin has been linked to pseudoporphyria—blisters that develop on hands after sun exposure or minor trauma—in case reports. Contact dermatitis from copper is rare but reported. Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety data are limited.
