HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cleansing Drink Mix by Nature's Sunshine

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (6.30 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This 6-ingredient powder contains sodium copper chlorophyllin (a plant-derived compound), potassium, psyllium (a soluble fiber), aloe vera, and two other components we don't hold interaction data for. The product also includes inactive ingredients — natural Wild Berry flavoring, malic acid, carotene extract, silicon dioxide, and stevia leaf extract — which are binders and flavorings.

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: support intestinal regularity and detoxifying processes.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Body odor, Fecal odor — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Blond Psyllium is rated "Effective" for Constipation.
  • Also on file: Aloe is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation.

Psyllium in this blend is effective for constipation and likely effective for high cholesterol and heart disease prevention. Aloe vera is possibly effective for constipation, acne, burns, and skin conditions like psoriasis, and possibly effective for weight and blood sugar.

Chlorophyllin's evidence is insufficient to rate it for most uses, though it's rated possibly ineffective for urinary odor. The evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for the product as a whole 'cleansing' supplement.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Psyllium Chlorophyllin Blond Psyllium Aloe Potassium

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Psyllium and potassium from food are generally well tolerated. However, potassium supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels — especially in people with kidney disease — and you should only take them under medical guidance.

Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data are limited; it may cause photosensitization (increased sun sensitivity) and in rare cases has been linked to blistering conditions. Oral aloe latex can cause abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, and serious potassium loss.

Avoid aloe latex by mouth during pregnancy because it can stimulate the uterus and act as a strong laxative; safety while breastfeeding is unknown. Potassium from a normal diet is fine in pregnancy, but use supplements only under medical guidance; dietary potassium is appropriate while breastfeeding, but check with your doctor before using supplements.

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 5 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Black Psyllium, Aloe, Chlorophyllin, Potassium, Blond Psyllium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,098 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 with your pharmacist if you take digoxin or other heart medications, warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants), potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors or ARBs for blood pressure, diabetes medications, lithium, carbamazepine, olanzapine, or metformin. The Major-severity digoxin interaction and potassium-related risks are the top priorities.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood pressure or heart medications, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or lithium, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using this product — the interactions are real and can affect how your medications work or raise serious safety risks. Even if you don't take prescriptions, the potassium content means you should know your kidney function.

This product isn't established as a safe 'cleanse' for healthy people.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Cleansing Drink Mix 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.

Dietary Fiber7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Metformin (Glucophage)

Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Ethinyl Estradiol

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Psyllium7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, blond psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Blond psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption and serum levels. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking blond psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.

Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Conversely, case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin.

Aloe Vera7 drug types · 461 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with cardiac glycosides.
Overuse of aloe latex can increase the risk of adverse effects from cardiac glycoside drugs, such as digoxin, due to potassium depletion. Overuse of aloe, along with cardiac glycoside drugs, can increase the risk of toxicity.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, aloe gel might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aloe gel can inhibit platelet aggregation. This inhibition was greater than that seen with celecoxib, but less than that seen with aspirin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Aloe might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests aloe gel might lower blood glucose levels and have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretic drugs.
Overuse of aloe latex might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss, increasing the risk of hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Laxatives

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with stimulant laxatives.
Due to cathartic laxative effects of aloe latex, concomitant use with other stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Aloe latex has stimulant laxative effects. In some people aloe latex can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of aloe vera.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, aloe might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that aloe extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aloe Vera full monograph & interactions

Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin1 drug type · 335 drugs

Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chlorophyllin with photosensitizing drugs may have additive effects.
Chlorophyllin is a semi-synthetic derivative of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been reported to cause photosensitization. Orally, chlorophyll has also been associated with the development of pseudoporphyria in multiple case reports.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin full monograph & interactions

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Cleansing Drink Mix by Nature's Sunshine: Common Questions

Does Cleansing Drink Mix by Nature's Sunshine interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cleansing Drink Mix has a known interaction with 2,097 medications, including 1 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cleansing Drink Mix contains 7 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.
What does chlorophyllin actually do?
Chlorophyllin is a semi-synthetic form of chlorophyll from plants. The evidence we hold isn't strong enough to rate whether it works for most conditions; it's rated possibly ineffective for urinary odor. Your main concern with it is that it can increase sun sensitivity, especially if you're already on a drug that does that.
Is the potassium in here a problem?
Potassium from food is fine and actually necessary. But potassium supplements — which is what this drink provides — can dangerously spike your blood potassium, especially if you have kidney disease or take certain blood pressure or heart medications. That's why it's important to run your exact medications through the checker before starting.
Can I take this while pregnant?
There isn't enough reliable safety data for chlorophyllin, so it's best avoided in pregnancy. Aloe latex should definitely be avoided — it can stimulate the uterus and cause strong laxative effects. Psyllium is considered likely safe, and dietary potassium is fine, but talk with your doctor about this product as a whole before using it during pregnancy.
What are the most common side effects?
Potassium can cause abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting. Psyllium may cause similar GI effects plus flatulence and nausea. Aloe latex commonly causes abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea — especially with long-term use. Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated, though photosensitization is a concern.
Is it okay to use this as a regular 'cleanse'?
We don't hold evidence that this product is safe or effective as a regular cleansing supplement. The laxative ingredients — aloe and psyllium — can cause fluid and electrolyte loss over time, which is a real risk. If you're thinking about using it routinely, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first about whether it makes sense for you.
What's in here that I should watch for allergies?
Psyllium can trigger serious allergic reactions in some people, ranging from sneezing and itching to wheezing, swelling, and in rare cases anaphylaxis — especially if you've been exposed to it before. If you've never taken psyllium, be aware of that risk. The other ingredients don't have major allergy flags in our data.
