HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chlorofresh 100 mg by Nature's Way

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.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Chlorofresh 100 mg contains 3 active ingredients: sodium, copper, and chlorophyllin. Sodium is an electrolyte essential for nerve and muscle function, but this product delivers it as a supplement rather than from food.

Copper is a trace mineral needed for iron metabolism and bone strength. Chlorophyllin is a semi-synthetic green derivative of chlorophyll, the pigment that makes plants green.

The softgel capsule also contains inactive ingredients—soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, yellow beeswax, purified water, and soy lecithin—which help hold and deliver the actives.

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: Skin health and body detoxification support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Acne, Body odor, Fecal odor, Urinary odor, Wound healing, Wrinkled skin — and 4 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 Acne, Wound healing, Wrinkled skin, Body odor, and more.

Sodium is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for amphotericin B nephrotoxicity (kidney damage from a medication). Evidence is insufficient to say whether it works for bipolar disorder or congestive heart failure.

Copper is likely effective for copper deficiency and possibly ineffective for Alzheimer's disease. Evidence is insufficient for acne, chemotherapy-related anemia, or brain tumors.

Chlorophyllin is possibly ineffective for urinary odor. Evidence is insufficient for acne, cancer, constipation, flatulence, and low white blood cell count.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sodium is well tolerated at normal dietary amounts but carries real risks in high doses or with supplementation. Too much sodium raises blood pressure, stresses the heart, and can harm the kidneys.

In rare cases, very high intake can worsen existing cardiovascular or kidney disease. Copper is generally safe in food and standard supplement amounts, but excess is toxic.

A small number of people have developed skin reactions to copper contact. Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data are limited.

The safety notes advise against use in pregnancy because reliable data are lacking. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoidance is the safer choice.

Chlorophyll has been linked to photosensitization and a rare condition called pseudoporphyria in case reports.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is a sodium supplement paired with copper and chlorophyllin. It's meant for specific conditions like cystic fibrosis or copper deficiency, not as a general multivitamin.

If you take blood pressure medication, lithium, corticosteroids, or any sodium-containing drugs, talk to your pharmacist before starting—sodium supplementation can interfere with how these work. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid it.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Chlorofresh 100 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

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

Sodium7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Sodium full monograph & interactions

Copper2 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.

Chlorofresh 100 mg by Nature's Way: Common Questions

Does Chlorofresh 100 mg by Nature's Way interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chlorofresh 100 mg has a known interaction with 497 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chlorofresh 100 mg 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 Chlorofresh if I'm on a blood pressure medication?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Sodium in this product can reduce how well blood pressure drugs work, and the combination might raise your sodium to unsafe levels. Your pharmacist can review your specific medication and advise you.
Is this safe to take during pregnancy?
Pregnancy safety data for chlorophyllin are not reliable enough—the facts advise against use during pregnancy. Copper is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy as well. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What is chlorophyllin and why is it in here?
Chlorophyllin is a man-made green compound derived from chlorophyll, the pigment in plants. It's included for its antioxidant properties, though evidence of effectiveness is limited. The facts show it's possibly ineffective for urinary odor and insufficient evidence exists for most other uses.
Can I take this if I'm on an oral contraceptive?
Possibly, but with caution. Oral contraceptives can raise copper levels in your blood, and this product adds more copper. Have your pharmacist check whether the total copper burden is safe for you.
Does this product have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes—it contains soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, yellow beeswax, purified water, and soy lecithin as inactive ingredients to form the softgel capsule.
Should I worry about sun sensitivity from this product?
Possibly. Chlorophyllin can cause photosensitization, and the facts note a risk of rare blistering (pseudoporphyria) with oral chlorophyll consumption in some people. If you're taking photosensitizing drugs, tell your pharmacist before starting.
