HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Klamath AFA 2000 mg by SuperSmart

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Klamath's Best” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (2,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: phenethylamine, a naturally occurring compound found in the Klamath blue-green algae. The supplement delivers 2000 mg per capsule.

The inactive ingredients are hypromellose, acacia gum, and white rice flour—standard capsule binders and fillers.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Phenethylamine (pea) product and its label doesn't state a use — see Phenethylamine (pea)'s own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't yet establish that phenethylamine works for athletic performance, depression, or weight management. Each of those uses is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Blue-green Algae Phenethylamine (pea)

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.

Phenethylamine may affect your heart rate and blood pressure, and because human safety data for supplements is limited, caution is warranted. Case reports describe anxiety, agitation, and rapid heart rate (tachycardia) in individuals taking weight-loss products that contained phenethylamine along with other stimulants like caffeine and bitter orange—though it's unclear which ingredient or combination caused those effects.

Not enough safety information exists to recommend this supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before use if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Blue-green Algae Phenethylamine (pea)

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 — Phenethylamine (pea).
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 187 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.

Double-check this product if you take serotonergic antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics), serotonergic pain or migraine medications, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) before you start. Both interactions carry Moderate severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Phenethylamine is a stimulant-like compound that affects serotonin and heart function. If you take an antidepressant or an MAOI, you'll need to check this product against your exact medications before starting.

Because human safety data is sparse, caution is wise—especially if you have heart or blood pressure concerns.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, spirulina blue-green algae might increase the risk of bleeding if used with other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. However, this is unlikely.
Spirulina blue-green algae have shown antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects in vitro. However, one preliminary study in 24 patients receiving spirulina blue-green algae 2.3 grams daily for 2 weeks showed no effect on platelet activation or measures of clotting time.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking blue-green algae with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Human research shows that spirulina blue-green algae can have hypoglycemic effects in patients with diabetes, at least some of whom were using antidiabetes drugs. However, blue-green algae does not seem to improve glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes. A meta-analysis of animal studies also suggests that spirulina blue-green algae have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of blue-green algae might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Blue-green algae have been shown to stimulate the immune system.

Klamath AFA 2000 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does Klamath AFA 2000 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Klamath AFA 2000 mg has a known interaction with 509 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Klamath AFA 2000 mg 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 this work for weight loss, mood, or athletic performance?
The evidence we have isn't yet strong enough to rate phenethylamine for any of those uses. If you're interested in it for one of those reasons, talk it over with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Can I take this if I'm on an antidepressant?
That depends on which antidepressant you're taking. Serotonergic drugs—like SSRIs and SNRIs—may theoretically have more side effects when combined with phenethylamine. Use the drug checker on this page with your exact medication, or ask your pharmacist to verify it's safe for you.
I take an MAOI. Is this safe?
No. The interaction is Moderate severity because MAOIs block the enzyme that normally breaks down phenethylamine, which can amplify its stimulant effects. You should not combine them without explicit guidance from your prescriber.
What side effects might I experience?
Case reports mention anxiety, agitation, and rapid heart rate in people taking weight-loss products containing phenethylamine along with caffeine and other stimulants—though it's not certain which ingredient caused the effect. Phenethylamine can also affect your heart rate and blood pressure.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to recommend it during either. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
