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.

This product contains 3 active ingredients: copper (a mineral needed for healthy nerves and connective tissue), sodium (an electrolyte your body requires in small amounts for fluid balance and nerve function), and chlorophyll (the pigment that makes plants green, used in supplements for its antioxidant properties). The liquid also includes water, glycerin, and maltodextrin as inactive ingredients to deliver and preserve the formula.

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: blood support and energy.
  • We looked for evidence on: Copper deficiency, Wound healing, anemia, fatigue.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Copper is rated "Likely Effective" for Copper deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing.
  • Also on file: Copper is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-induced anemia, Wound healing.

The evidence we hold is limited. Copper is rated Likely Effective for copper deficiency — if your blood levels are low, it can help restore them.

For other uses listed in our data, the evidence doesn't yet support clear benefit: copper is Possibly Ineffective for Alzheimer disease, and for acne, brain tumors, and chemotherapy-related anemia, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it. Sodium's effectiveness is rated for a few medical conditions (Cystic fibrosis is Likely Effective; Amphotericin B nephrotoxicity is Possibly Effective), but for other uses our data shows Insufficient Evidence.

For chlorophyll, we hold no effectiveness ratings — the evidence for genital herpes, wound healing, shingles, skin cancer, and pancreatitis is Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate.

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 safe in food and standard supplement amounts, but excess can become toxic; stay within recommended doses and avoid high-dose copper supplements unless a doctor advises it. Copper is needed in pregnancy, but only in recommended amounts — don't take high-dose supplements without medical guidance.

Sodium is essential but must be in moderation; too much raises blood pressure and strains your heart. Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited.

A small number of people have reported photosensitization (skin reactions to sunlight) and, rarely, pseudoporphyria (blistering that mimics a rare blood disorder) with oral chlorophyll. Topical chlorophyll can cause dermatitis.

Chlorophyll safety in pregnancy is not established — the data advises against use. Safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Copper Sodium Chlorophyll

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Chlorophyll, Copper, Sodium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 499 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 you take this, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on penicillamine (a Moderate interaction), antihypertensive drugs, corticosteroids, lithium, didanosine, sodium phosphates, tolvaptan, other sodium-containing drugs, photosensitizing medications, or methotrexate (all Moderate). Also mention birth control pills (Minor).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

ChlorOxygen is appropriate if you're looking to supplement copper for a diagnosed deficiency or want chlorophyll's antioxidant profile. However, if you take blood pressure medications, lithium, methotrexate, birth control, corticosteroids, or photosensitizing drugs, talk with your pharmacist before starting — sodium and copper can meaningfully alter how these work.

Formula

European sourced fescue

ChlorOxygen Chlorophyll Concentrate is made with blood-supporting sodium copper chlorophyllin. Our red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from our lungs to our whole body. Oxygen provides us with energy. Chlorophyll, the green pigment produced by plants, provides plants with the energy they need through photosynthesis. Hemoglobin's structure is strikingly similar to chlorophyll. The sodium copper chlorophyllin in ChlorOxygen is derived from farm-cultivated European Fescue leaf chlorophyll. Over 90 percent of the world's dietary supplement chlorophyll originates from Asia, which makes ChlorOxygen's European sourcing distinctive. Fescue is a rich source of chlorophyll. The leaf contains four times the amount of chlorophyll found in white mulberry leaf or alfalfa herb. ChlorOxygen is highly concentrated. This 1 ounce bottle equals up to 32 ounces of liquid chlorophyll. That's two 15 ounce bottles.

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.
Will this interact with my blood pressure medication?
Yes — possibly. Sodium in this product can reduce how well blood pressure medications work. The more sodium you take from supplements and food, the harder it is for these drugs to control your pressure. Talk to your pharmacist about your total sodium intake before starting.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant?
Not based on the data we have. Chlorophyll safety in pregnancy isn't established, and the data advises against use. Copper is needed in pregnancy but only in recommended amounts — don't supplement without your doctor's approval. Talk to your OB/GYN before starting.
What does chlorophyll do in this product?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment from plants that acts as an antioxidant. We don't have solid evidence that it works for the conditions it's marketed for — wound healing, herpes, shingles, or skin cancer — but it's generally well tolerated in the short term.
Could this make my skin more sensitive to sun?
Yes. Chlorophyll can cause photosensitization — a reaction where your skin gets irritated or burns more easily in sunlight. If you're already taking a medication that does this, combining them may make it worse.
Is there too much sodium in this?
The product facts don't specify the exact amount of sodium per dose, so check the label. However, if you take medications for blood pressure, heart failure, or kidney disease, or if you're on a low-sodium diet, even a small amount adds up — ask your pharmacist whether it fits your situation.
Can I take this if I'm on methotrexate for my autoimmune condition?
Not without checking first. In one case, chlorophyll slowed how quickly the body cleared methotrexate, which could raise its levels and side effects. Talk to your rheumatologist or pharmacist before adding this product.
