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.

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
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 Chlorophyll product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chlorophyll'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 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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 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.

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.

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 — Chlorophyll.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 337 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, 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.

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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

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 chlorophyll, and what is it supposed to do?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis. This product contains it in liquid form. Chlorophyll has been studied for several conditions including herpes, wound healing, and skin cancer, but the evidence we have is not yet strong enough to establish whether it works for any of these.

No, chlorophyll is not recommended during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable safety data. During breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common side effect is photosensitization — increased sensitivity to sunlight. Rarely, a condition called pseudoporphyria, causing painful blisters on the hands, has been reported. Otherwise, significant side effects haven't been reported in the short term, though thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed.
Is this product safe to use long-term?
Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but high-quality safety data for long-term use are limited. If you're thinking about taking it regularly, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What are the inactive ingredients?
The product contains glycerin and purified water to keep the chlorophyll in liquid form. There are no other fillers or binders.
