HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chlorophyll by L.A. Naturals

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 16, 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 1 active ingredient.

L.A. Naturals Chlorophyll Liquid contains one active ingredient: chlorophyll, a natural green pigment extracted from plants.

The liquid also contains vegetable glycerin, deionized water, and peppermint oil as inactive ingredients that give it flavor and consistency.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Chlorophyll product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chlorophyll's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for chlorophyll's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for genital herpes, wound healing, herpes zoster (shingles), nonmelanoma skin cancer, or pancreatitis — the conditions listed in our monograph.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.

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 is photosensitization — increased sensitivity to sunlight that can cause a rash or burning.

Rarely, it has triggered pseudoporphyria, a blistering condition in a few people who took chlorophyll drinks. The safety data advise against chlorophyll during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable information.

Safety during breastfeeding is also unknown, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.

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.

Before taking L.A. Naturals Chlorophyll, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take methotrexate (Trexall) or any photosensitizing drugs — medications that increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight.

Chlorophyll may slow methotrexate clearance and add to sun sensitivity from other drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Chlorophyll is one to check before you start, especially if you take methotrexate or drugs that make you sun-sensitive. The evidence for what it actually works for isn't clear in the data we have.

If you're interested in trying it, bring your medication list to your doctor or pharmacist and review it together.

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.

Chlorophyll by L.A. Naturals: Common Questions

Does Chlorophyll by L.A. Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chlorophyll 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?
Chlorophyll contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
What does chlorophyll do?
Chlorophyll is a green pigment from plants. We have insufficient reliable evidence to say it's effective for the conditions we've reviewed — herpes, wound healing, shingles, skin cancer, and pancreatitis. If you're considering it for a specific reason, ask your doctor what the evidence actually shows for your goal.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against chlorophyll during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe. Safety during breastfeeding is also unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor says otherwise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effect is photosensitization — your skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight and can burn or rash more easily. Rarely, it has caused pseudoporphyria, a blistering condition. Significant side effects haven't been widely reported, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done either.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but high-quality safety data for longer-term use are limited. If you're thinking about taking it regularly, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how long is appropriate for you.
Does it interact with methotrexate?
Yes — in one case report, chlorophyll slowed how a patient's body cleared methotrexate, which could let it build up. Stopping chlorophyll a couple of days before the methotrexate dose prevented the problem. If you take methotrexate, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
What happens if I'm on a drug that makes me sun-sensitive?
Chlorophyll itself can cause sun sensitivity, and taking it alongside other sun-sensitizing drugs may add to that effect. Check your medication list with your doctor or pharmacist to see if any of your drugs fall into this category before you start.
