HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Liquid Chlorophyll Unflavored by BioSchwartz
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
Full disclosure
BioSchwartz Liquid Chlorophyll Unflavored is a single-ingredient product: chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants. The liquid also contains glycerin and purified water as inactive ingredients to keep it in solution.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence on chlorophyll's effectiveness for the conditions studied — genital herpes, wound healing, shingles, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and pancreatitis — is insufficient to rate. The data we hold does not establish benefit for any of these uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effect when taken by mouth is photosensitization (increased sun sensitivity).
Rarely, a condition called pseudoporphyria — characterized by painful, easily damaged blisters on the hands — has been reported after oral chlorophyll use. There is not enough reliable safety information to use chlorophyll during pregnancy, so the data advises against it.
Safety during breastfeeding is also unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding and considering this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take methotrexate (a cancer and autoimmune drug) — chlorophyll may delay how your body clears it and raise drug levels. Also check if you take photosensitizing drugs, which increase sun sensitivity; chlorophyll may add to this effect.
The interaction data we hold covers these two categories.
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.
Chlorophyll may be worth considering if you're interested in its traditional uses, but the evidence for any specific condition is not yet established. If you take methotrexate or photosensitizing medications, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since chlorophyll may interfere with how your body clears methotrexate and may worsen sun sensitivity.
It's not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical guidance.

Liquid Chlorophyll Unflavored by BioSchwartz Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
BioSchwartz Liquid Chlorophyll Unflavored contains chlorophyll, which interacts with photosensitizing drugs (Moderate severity) and methotrexate (Moderate severity).
The most serious concern here is the interaction with methotrexate, a cancer and autoimmune medication — chlorophyll may slow how your body clears it, raising the drug to higher levels in your system. One case report showed delayed clearance of high-dose methotrexate when someone was taking chlorophyll at the same time; when chlorophyll was stopped two days before the methotrexate dose, clearance returned to normal.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Chlorophyll can also increase photosensitization (sun sensitivity) when taken alongside photosensitizing drugs. Case reports describe a rare condition called pseudoporphyria — painful blisters on the hands — developing after taking chlorophyll by mouth, and this risk may be compounded if you're also on a photosensitizing medication.
Altogether, these interactions span 337 individual medications. If you take methotrexate or any photosensitizing drug (including certain antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and chemotherapy agents), check your exact medications with the search tool on this page or talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

For each ingredient in Liquid Chlorophyll Unflavored with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Chlorophyll
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.
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.
