HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Liquid Chlorophyll 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

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 liquid contains 2 active ingredients: copper and chlorophyll. Copper is a mineral your body needs in small amounts for nerve function, immune health, and blood cell formation.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis. The product also contains vegetable glycerin, deionized water, and peppermint oil as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Superfood antioxidant and wellness support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Colostomy odor, Halitosis, Wound healing, Detoxification, Breath odor.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Colostomy odor (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing, Halitosis.
  • Also on file: Copper is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing.

The evidence we have on file supports copper for treating copper deficiency—that's the clearest use. For other conditions like Alzheimer's disease, copper appears possibly ineffective based on available data.

For acne, chemotherapy-related anemia, and brain tumors, the evidence isn't established enough for us to rate it. For chlorophyll, the evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for genital herpes, wound healing, shingles, skin cancer, or pancreatitis.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Copper 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Copper is well tolerated in the amounts found in food and standard supplements, though excess copper can be toxic. Copper is actually needed during pregnancy, but stay within recommended amounts and avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor advises it.

Rare adverse effects from copper include contact dermatitis. People with diabetes tend to have higher copper levels in their blood than those without, though we don't know if that extra copper contributes to diabetes itself.

Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effect is photosensitization—a reaction to sunlight.

Rare cases of pseudoporphyria (a condition mimicking porphyria) have been reported after oral chlorophyll use. Chlorophyll is best avoided during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable safety information, and safety during breastfeeding is unknown—talk with your doctor before using it if you're nursing.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Chlorophyll, Copper.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 368 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, double-check with your pharmacist if you use methotrexate (a cancer or autoimmune drug), penicillamine (for Wilson's disease or rheumatoid arthritis), birth control pills, or any medication that makes your skin sensitive to sunlight. The chlorophyll and copper in this product can affect how these drugs work or cause harmful interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is mainly useful if you have a documented copper deficiency. If you take methotrexate, penicillamine, birth control pills, or any photosensitizing medication, check with your pharmacist first—there are documented interactions that matter.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, skip the chlorophyll component and talk with your doctor before using this product at all.

For each ingredient in Liquid Chlorophyll 100 mg 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

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.

Liquid Chlorophyll 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Liquid Chlorophyll 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Liquid Chlorophyll 100 mg has a known interaction with 368 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Liquid Chlorophyll 100 mg 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.
Can I take this if I'm on birth control?
You can, but your doctor or pharmacist should know. Copper in this product may raise the copper levels in your blood when you're on birth control—studies show it goes up by an average of 57 micrograms per deciliter, pushing it above normal in most people. It's worth a quick conversation to make sure your doctor is okay with it.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Copper in amounts you need is safe in pregnancy, but avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor says otherwise. The chlorophyll component, though, should be avoided—there isn't enough reliable safety data. If you're thinking about using this while pregnant, check with your doctor first.
What's the photosensitization I keep reading about?
Chlorophyll can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, causing a reaction if you're exposed. It's rare, but there have been case reports of more serious blistering conditions (pseudoporphyria) linked to chlorophyll. If you take this product and spend time in the sun, be aware of any unusual skin reactions.
What is copper actually for in my body?
Copper is a mineral you need for nerve function, making blood cells, supporting your immune system, and helping your body use iron. You only need small amounts, and most people get enough from food—that's why this product is really only useful if you actually have a copper deficiency, diagnosed by your doctor.
Can I take this if I have diabetes?
There's no direct contraindication, but be aware: people with diabetes tend to have higher copper levels in their blood naturally. We don't yet know if extra copper makes diabetes worse, so it's worth mentioning to your doctor before you start.
