HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chlorophyllin 100 mg by Life Extension

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

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.

Life Extension's Chlorophyllin 100 mg contains one active ingredient: chlorophyllin, a lab-made form of chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants. The capsule also includes microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose, silica, and stearate as inactive ingredients (binding and flow agents).

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 Chlorophyllin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chlorophyllin'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 chlorophyllin is mixed and limited. The data we have rates it as possibly ineffective for urinary odor.

For acne, cancer prevention, constipation, flatulence, and low white blood cell count (leukopenia), we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 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.

Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated in the short term, but quality evidence and long-term safety data are limited. The main concern is photosensitization — the drug can make your skin more reactive to sunlight — and rare case reports link it to pseudoporphyria (a skin condition that mimics porphyria) after oral use.

Topical chlorophyll creams have also caused dermatitis in some people. There isn't enough reliable safety data to use chlorophyllin during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it.

Safety while breastfeeding is also unknown; the safer choice is to skip it if you're nursing.

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 — Chlorophyllin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 335 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 whether you take any photosensitizing drugs before starting this supplement. These include certain antibiotics, some blood pressure medications, and NSAIDs.

Your pharmacist can tell you if any of your medications fall into this category.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Chlorophyllin may be worth considering only if you've talked with your pharmacist about your specific medications first — especially if you're on drugs that increase sun sensitivity. If you're pregnant, nursing, or spend a lot of time in the sun, this isn't the right pick for you.

Ask your pharmacist whether it makes sense for your situation.

Chlorophyllin 100 mg by Life Extension: Common Questions

Does Chlorophyllin 100 mg by Life Extension interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chlorophyllin 100 mg has a known interaction with 335 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chlorophyllin 100 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.
Can I take chlorophyllin if I'm pregnant?
No, there isn't enough reliable safety data. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoidance is the safer choice. If you're nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
Does chlorophyllin really reduce urinary odor?
The evidence doesn't support that claim — it's rated as possibly ineffective for urinary odor in the data we hold.
What are the side effects?
Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated short-term, but it can cause photosensitization (increased sun sensitivity of your skin). Rare case reports also link oral chlorophyll to a skin condition called pseudoporphyria, and topical chlorophyll creams have caused dermatitis in some people.
Does chlorophyllin work for acne or cancer?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say. For both acne and cancer prevention, there's insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.
