HelloPharmacist Scorecard of KingChlorella Immuno Detox with Russian Choice Immune by NutriCology

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lysate powder and Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Chlorella is a freshwater green algae sometimes used to support immune function and general detoxification, though the evidence for many of those claims is limited.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a beneficial bacteria strain. There are no inactive fillers listed.

Does it work?

Moderate 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Chlorella's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Chlorella for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Pregnancy-related iron deficiency — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for chlorella is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for pregnancy-related iron deficiency.

For brain tumor, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (a type of liver damage unrelated to alcohol), depression, and fatigue, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works. The data we hold doesn't establish what this product as a whole does for general immune support or detoxification.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorella

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.

Chlorella is generally well tolerated in the short term, but product quality and purity vary widely — that's something to keep in mind. Common side effects include allergic reactions, abdominal cramping, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, gas, nausea, photosensitivity, and darkened stool, especially in the first two weeks.

Rare but serious reactions like anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) have been reported. We don't have enough safety data overall, so it's wise to take this only if your doctor approves.

For pregnancy, chlorella is rated possibly safe, but not enough data exists for breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you during those times.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chlorella

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Chlorella.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 337 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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any photosensitizing drugs — those are the two medication types with documented interactions through the chlorella content. We could not check the Lactobacillus rhamnosus ingredient against your medications, so mention all your prescriptions and supplements to your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take warfarin or any photosensitizing medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Chlorella has some evidence for pregnancy-related iron deficiency, but evidence for immune support or detoxification is limited.

Because quality varies and full safety data is sparse, use it only under your doctor's approval — and be ready for digestive side effects, especially early on.

Chlorella pyrenoidosa2 drug types · 337 drugs

Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, chlorella might have additive effects with photosensitizing drugs.
Chlorella has been reported to cause photosensitization. In five case reports, patients who had ingested chlorella exhibited swelling followed by erythematopurpuric lesions on sun-exposed areas of the body. Theoretically, concomitant use with photosensitizing drugs may exacerbate effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, chlorella might reduce the clinical effects of warfarin.
Chlorella contains significant amounts of vitamin K. There is at least one case report of warfarin therapy becoming sub-therapeutic after initiation of chlorella supplements.

KingChlorella Immuno Detox with Russian Choice Immune by NutriCology: Common Questions

Does KingChlorella Immuno Detox with Russian Choice Immune by NutriCology interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, KingChlorella Immuno Detox with Russian Choice Immune 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?
KingChlorella Immuno Detox with Russian Choice Immune contains 2 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.
Does chlorella actually help with immune support?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Chlorella has been studied for iron deficiency in pregnancy (where it's rated possibly effective) and for liver health, depression, fatigue, and brain tumor (where we just don't have enough evidence to say). We can't confirm that it boosts immunity overall.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate it, but common side effects include digestive issues — abdominal cramping, diarrhea, constipation, gas, and nausea, especially in the first two weeks. Allergic reactions, fatigue, and skin photosensitivity (sun sensitivity) have also been reported. Rarely, severe reactions like anaphylaxis can occur.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
During pregnancy, chlorella is rated possibly safe. We don't have enough data about safety during breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing — they can weigh the evidence for your situation.
Why does chlorella interact with warfarin?
Chlorella is high in vitamin K, which helps your blood clot. Warfarin works by blocking vitamin K to prevent clots, so vitamin K can interfere with how well the drug works. There's at least one case of someone's warfarin becoming ineffective after starting chlorella.
What about quality — is all chlorella the same?
No. Quality and purity vary widely between products. That's one reason to stick with it only if your doctor approves and to choose a reputable brand — talk with your pharmacist about which ones they trust.
Can I take this if I'm sensitive to sun?
Be careful. Chlorella itself can cause photosensitivity — sun sensitivity — and there are case reports of people developing skin reactions on sun-exposed areas after taking it. If you take photosensitizing medications or have sun sensitivity, check with your doctor first.
