HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Liquid Chlorophyll Natural Mint Flavor 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

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

This product contains one active ingredient: sodium copper chlorophyllin, a semi-synthetic version of chlorophyll (the compound that makes plants green). It's meant to be used as an oral supplement.

The formulation also includes water, spearmint oil, and two preservatives to keep it shelf-stable.

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 — see Chlorophyllin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive tract detoxifier and detoxification support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Body odor, Fecal odor, Urinary odor, Wound healing, Internal cleansing, Metabolic support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chlorophyllin is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary odor (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chlorophyllin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing, Body odor, Fecal odor.

The evidence on what chlorophyllin actually does is thin. For urinary odor, it's rated possibly ineffective — meaning the data doesn't support its use.

For acne, constipation, flatulence, cancer prevention, and a blood condition called leukopenia, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't. That doesn't mean it's useless; it means more rigorous testing would be needed to know.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyllin

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.

Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated in the short term, but solid safety data — especially for long-term use — is limited. The main concern is photosensitivity: chlorophyll can make your skin overly sensitive to sunlight, and in some case reports, people have developed blistering or a condition resembling pseudoporphyria (a rare photosensitivity syndrome) after taking chlorophyll drinks.

You should avoid this product during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data. The same goes for breastfeeding — safety data doesn't exist, so it's safer to skip it while nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyllin

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 — Chlorophyllin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 335 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 before adding this product if you take photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight). Because we hold interaction data only for that one drug category but this product affects 334 individual medications overall, always verify your exact prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs with the search tool on this page.

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 is a single-ingredient supplement with limited evidence of benefit and some real safety questions around photosensitivity. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, don't use it.

If you take any photosensitizing drugs — or any medications at all — check them against our tool first, and talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Liquid Chlorophyll Natural Mint Flavor by Nature's Sunshine: Common Questions

Does Liquid Chlorophyll Natural Mint Flavor by Nature's Sunshine interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Liquid Chlorophyll Natural Mint Flavor has a known interaction with 335 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Liquid Chlorophyll Natural Mint Flavor 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.
What is sodium copper chlorophyllin?
It's a human-made version of chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants. The 'copper' part is added to make it more stable and useful as a supplement ingredient.
Does this product actually work for bad breath or urinary odor?
For urinary odor, the evidence says it's possibly ineffective — so don't count on it for that. For other uses like acne or constipation, we simply don't have enough reliable evidence to say either way.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data isn't there. The label advises against it during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding the safety is unknown, so it's best to avoid it. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about safer options.
What are the side effects?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but the main caution is photosensitivity — your skin can become overly sensitive to sunlight. In rare cases, people have developed blistering or a pseudoporphyria-like condition (a photosensitivity syndrome) after taking chlorophyll drinks. If you notice any unusual skin reaction, especially after sun exposure, stop and talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
Is it safe to use long-term?
Good safety data for long-term use doesn't exist, so we can't say for sure. Short-term use appears generally well tolerated, but if you're thinking of taking it for months, it's worth talking to your pharmacist first.
