HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kyo-Green Greens Blend Tablets by Kyo-Green
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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Kyo-Green contains 6 active ingredients: Chlorella (a nutrient-dense algae), Brown Rice, Kelp (a sea vegetable), Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, and a proprietary blend called Kyo-Green Powder. These are all whole-food greens meant to provide nutrients in tablet form.
The product also contains inactive ingredients — fillers like cellulose, potato starch, and silica that help hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence varies by ingredient. Chlorella shows possibly effective evidence for pregnancy-related iron deficiency, but for other uses like brain tumor, fatty liver disease, depression, and fatigue, the evidence is insufficient to rate.
Barley Grass is likely effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and coronary heart disease. Brown Rice and Wheat Grass don't have established effectiveness ratings in our data for any condition.
Overall, this is more of a nutrient supplement than a targeted treatment.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chlorella is generally well tolerated short-term, but quality and purity vary widely across products — that's something to keep in mind. The most common side effects are allergic reactions, abdominal cramping, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, bloating, nausea, and photosensitivity, especially in the first two weeks.
Rare but serious reactions like anaphylaxis have been reported. Barley Grass can cause bloating, gas, and allergic reactions in sensitive people, and it contains gluten.
Brown Rice, eaten as a normal food, is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Wheat Grass has limited human safety data, and the data we have advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
There's not enough information on file for Kelp's safety in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with us before taking this if you're on warfarin or other blood thinners — chlorella can reduce their effectiveness. Also double-check if you take any photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase sun sensitivity).
If you take triclabendazole (Egaten) for parasites, barley grass may interfere with it. No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a greens supplement best suited for people looking for general nutritional support, especially those interested in barley's cholesterol and heart benefits. If you take warfarin or any photosensitizing medication, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, you should talk with your pharmacist first — some ingredients here need individual review.

Kyo-Green Greens Blend Tablets by Kyo-Green Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Kyo-Green Greens Blend Tablets contains chlorella, which interacts with a couple of important medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin (Coumadin). Chlorella is rich in vitamin K, which can reduce how well warfarin works — there's at least one case report of this happening.
If you take warfarin, you'll want to check with us before starting this product.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Chlorella may also cause additive photosensitization when combined with photosensitizing drugs (medications that make your skin more sun-sensitive). In rare cases, people taking chlorella have developed swelling and red-purple lesions on sun-exposed skin.
Barley Grass, another ingredient here, interacts with triclabendazole (Egaten), a parasite medication — animal studies suggest barley might reduce how well it works, though this hasn't been proven in humans yet.
We couldn't check two ingredients in this blend — Kelp and Fructo-Oligosaccharides — because we don't hold interaction data for them. Altogether, these interactions span 337 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Kyo-Green Greens Blend Tablets 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.
Kelp
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, combining Fucus vesiculosus with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels. Concomitant use might increase the risk of having excessive iodine levels and adversely affecting thyroid function. Monitor thyroid function.
Antithyroid Drugs
Due to its iodine content, Fucus vesiculosus might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking Fucus vesiculosus while using antithyroid drugs could alter the effects of the antithyroid drugs.
Lithium
Concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus and lithium has resulted in hyperthyroidism.
There is a case of hyperthyroidism occurring in a patient taking Fucus vesiculosus and lithium. Monitor thyroid hormones closely in patients taking lithium and Fucus vesiculosus concomitantly.
Thyroid Hormone
Due to its iodine content, Fucus vesiculosus might alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking Fucus vesiculosus while using thyroid hormone could alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking Fucus vesiculosus with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro evidence suggests that a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, known as fucoidan, has anticoagulant effects. However, in clinical research, fucoidan does not seem to have significant anticoagulant activity when taken orally, possibly due to poor absorption.
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (Cyp2C8) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2C8 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP2C8. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2C9 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP2C9. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2D6 substrates might alter the effects of these substrates.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, both inhibits and induces CYP2D6. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP3A4 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP3A4. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Chlorella
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.
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.
Barley Grass
Triclabendazole (Egaten)
Theoretically, barley might decrease the clinical effects of triclabendazole.
Animal research suggests that a diet supplemented with barley can reduce the bioavailability of triclabendazole when taken concomitantly. This effect has not been shown in humans.
