HelloPharmacist Scorecard of ChlorOxygen Chlorophyll Concentrate Alcohol Free by Herbs Etc.

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Chlorophyll” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (50 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This 2-ingredient liquid concentrate contains chlorophyll (the plant pigment itself) and two semi-synthetic chlorophyll derivatives — sodium chlorophyllin and copper chlorophyllin. These are the active components.

The product also contains purified water, vegetable glycerine, and maltodextrin as inactive ingredients to keep it liquid and stable.

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 Chlorophyllin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: builds red blood cells and increases cellular oxygen.
  • We looked for evidence on: Leukopenia, Anemia, Oxygen availability, Erythropoiesis.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chlorophyllin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Leukopenia (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for what chlorophyllin actually does is mixed. For urinary odor — one of the more common claims — the data says it's possibly ineffective.

For acne, cancer prevention, constipation, gas, and low white blood cell counts, there simply isn't reliable evidence to say whether it works or not. If you're considering this for one of those uses, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyll 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 the quality of long-term safety data is limited — we don't have a lot of real-world information about what happens if you take it for months or years. The main concern is photosensitivity: oral chlorophyll can make you more prone to sun damage, and case reports have documented blistering and skin issues after sun exposure or minor trauma.

If you're pregnant, the safety data isn't solid enough to recommend it — avoidance is the safer choice. Breastfeeding safety is also unknown, so the same advice applies.

Known Interaction Concern · database check

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.

If you take any photosensitizing drugs — medications that increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight — check them with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. The chlorophyll derivatives here may add to that effect.

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.

This product is a chlorophyll concentrate that's generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data are sparse. The biggest caution is if you take medications that sensitize you to sunlight — those need to be checked first.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the data advises against it. Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist to see if this fits your situation and what to watch for.

Chlorophyll2 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.

ChlorOxygen Chlorophyll Concentrate Alcohol Free by Herbs Etc.: Common Questions

Does ChlorOxygen Chlorophyll Concentrate Alcohol Free by Herbs Etc. interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, ChlorOxygen Chlorophyll Concentrate Alcohol Free 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?
ChlorOxygen Chlorophyll Concentrate Alcohol Free 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.
Does chlorophyll actually help with urinary odor?
The data rates it as possibly ineffective — meaning there isn't strong evidence it does. If smell control is why you're considering this, talk with your doctor about what might actually help.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
No, the safety data aren't solid enough to recommend it during pregnancy. Avoidance is the safer choice. Talk with your obstetrician or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What's the difference between chlorophyll and chlorophyllin?
Chlorophyll is the natural plant pigment. Chlorophyllin is a semi-synthetic version made in the lab — it's derived from chlorophyll but chemically altered. This product contains both the natural form and two chlorophyllin varieties.
Is there anything in here besides the active ingredients?
Yes — the product also has purified water, vegetable glycerine, and maltodextrin to keep it liquid and stable. These are inactive ingredients (excipients), not active compounds.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
The main concern is photosensitivity — increased sensitivity to sunlight that can cause blistering and skin damage. Topical chlorophyll cream has caused dermatitis in some cases. Long-term safety data are limited, so unusual skin changes should be reported to your doctor.
