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.

ChlorOxygen has 3 active ingredients: copper, sodium, and chlorophyll. Copper supports normal body function and is used to treat copper deficiency.

Sodium is an essential mineral that helps maintain fluid balance and nerve signaling. Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants; it's used in this supplement form, though evidence for its health claims is limited.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — purified water, glycerin, and maltodextrin — which are fillers and preservatives that help deliver the active ingredients.

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: Traditionally used for blood support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Copper deficiency, Chemotherapy-induced anemia, Iron deficiency anemia, Hematopoiesis.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Copper is rated "Likely Effective" for Copper deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Copper is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-induced anemia.

The evidence for this product's ingredients is mixed. Copper is likely effective for treating copper deficiency, but evidence suggests it may actually be ineffective for Alzheimer's disease.

For acne, chemotherapy-related anemia, and brain tumors, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate copper. Sodium is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for nephrotoxicity from the drug amphotericin B.

Chlorophyll has insufficient reliable evidence for any of its claimed uses — genital herpes, wound healing, shingles, skin cancer, and pancreatitis — so we don't know yet whether it actually works for these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Copper Sodium 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 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.

Copper is generally well tolerated at normal supplement levels, but excess copper can be toxic — contact dermatitis from copper exposure has been reported rarely. Copper is needed in pregnancy, but stick to recommended amounts and avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor advises it.

People with diabetes have been found to have higher blood copper levels, though it's unclear whether elevated copper contributes to diabetes itself. Sodium is well tolerated at normal dietary amounts, but too much is linked to high blood pressure, heart strain, and kidney disease.

Avoid sodium supplements or very high intake without medical advice. Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but robust safety data are limited.

Photosensitization is the most common side effect when taken by mouth, and rare cases of pseudoporphyria (a blistering condition mimicking porphyria) have been reported. The product is not recommended in pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data — and safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in ChlorOxygen Chlorophyll Concentrate Alcohol Free 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.

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Chlorophyll 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.

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 499 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 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.
Is copper in this supplement safe if I'm on birth control?
Birth control can raise your copper levels by an average of 57 micrograms per deciliter, pushing most people above the normal range. This is a minor interaction — it's not usually dangerous, but it's worth mentioning to your pharmacist or doctor, especially if you take this supplement long-term.
What is chlorophyll and what's it supposed to do?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment that plants use for photosynthesis. In this product, it's used for conditions like wound healing, herpes, and skin cancer, but we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to know if it actually works for any of these.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Copper and sodium are needed in pregnancy, so small amounts are fine — but avoid high-dose supplements without your doctor's guidance. Chlorophyll is best avoided in pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data. Safety during breastfeeding is unknown for chlorophyll, so skip it unless your doctor says it's okay.
What side effects might I get from this product?
Chlorophyll can cause photosensitization — increased sun sensitivity — as the most common side effect. Rarely, it has caused pseudoporphyria, a blistering condition that mimics porphyria. Copper rarely causes contact dermatitis from skin exposure. Overall, significant side effects haven't been widely reported, but long-term safety data are limited.
Is there sodium in this product, and should I worry about it?
Yes, sodium is one of the three active ingredients. If you take blood pressure medications, lithium, or certain other drugs, the sodium content could be a problem — high sodium can interfere with these medications or cause electrolyte imbalances. Your pharmacist can tell you whether it's safe for your situation.
Why does this product have 496 medication interactions listed?
That number includes all the individual medications affected across the three active ingredients combined. Each ingredient can interact with multiple drugs — for example, sodium alone interacts with many blood pressure and heart drugs, corticosteroids, and lithium. That's why it's important to check your specific prescriptions before you start.
