HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chlorophyll Concentrate 200 mg by We Like Vitamins

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

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Chlorophyll Concentrate 200 mg contains one active ingredient: chlorophyll concentrate at 200 mg per capsule. Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that captures light for photosynthesis.

The capsule also contains two inactive ingredients — gelatin and rice powder — which are fillers and binders.

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: immune system and natural energy support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Colostomy odor, Halitosis, Wound healing, detoxification, antioxidant support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Colostomy odor, Wound healing, Halitosis.

The evidence for chlorophyll concentrate isn't established in the data we hold. It's been studied for genital herpes, wound healing, shingles, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and pancreatitis, but in each case the reliable evidence is insufficient to rate whether it actually works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means we don't have solid proof yet.

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 information is limited. The most common side effect from taking it by mouth is photosensitization — increased sensitivity to sunlight, which can lead to sunburn or skin reactions more easily than usual.

Rarely, oral chlorophyll has been associated with pseudoporphyria, a condition that causes blisters on hands that are easily traumatized. There isn't enough reliable safety data to use this supplement during pregnancy, so it's best avoided.

Safety during breastfeeding is also unknown, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

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 this product, double-check whether you're on any photosensitizing drugs — those that increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Also check if you take methotrexate (Trexall or generics).

Altogether, these interactions span 336 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Chlorophyll concentrate might appeal to you if you're interested in plant-based supplements and don't take photosensitizing drugs or methotrexate. If you do take either of those, or any other medications, check them against the drug interaction tool on this page first.

The safety data is limited, and it's not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice. Chat with your pharmacist before starting.

Chlorophyll concentrate2 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.

Chlorophyll Concentrate 200 mg by We Like Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Chlorophyll Concentrate 200 mg by We Like Vitamins interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chlorophyll Concentrate 200 mg 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 Concentrate 200 mg 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 exactly is chlorophyll, and why is it in this supplement?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment plants use to capture sunlight during photosynthesis. It's included in supplements based on the idea that it may help with conditions like herpes, wound healing, and skin cancer, but we don't have solid evidence yet that it actually does.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough reliable safety data for pregnancy, so it's best avoided. Safety during breastfeeding is also unknown. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it.
What's photosensitization, and why should I care if I'm taking this?
Photosensitization means your skin becomes unusually sensitive to sunlight, so you burn or react more easily. Chlorophyll can cause this on its own, and if you're also taking a medication that does the same thing, the effect could get worse. If you're on any photosensitizing drug, check with us first.
What are the most common side effects?
The main one reported is photosensitization — increased sun sensitivity. Rarely, people have developed pseudoporphyria (blistering on the hands) after taking chlorophyll by mouth. Overall, significant side effects haven't been reported in most people, but safety data is limited.
Does this product have any fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes — it contains gelatin and rice powder as inactive ingredients. These are binders and fillers that help form the capsule.
