HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Perfect Aquatic Greens by Perfect Supplements
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
Perfect Aquatic Greens contains 2 active ingredients: organic spirulina powder (a blue-green algae) and organic chlorella (a green algae). Both are nutrient-dense whole foods.
The capsule itself is vegetarian.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For spirulina, there is possibly effective evidence for high blood pressure. The data on acne, hay fever, iron deficiency anemia, and arsenic poisoning are insufficient to rate.
For chlorella, there is possibly effective evidence for pregnancy-related iron deficiency. The evidence for brain tumors, fatty liver disease, depression, and fatigue is insufficient to rate.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Spirulina is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though it may cause abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, gas, headache, nausea, or vomiting. Rare cases of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported, as have a few cases of mild bleeding or bruising.
Chlorella is generally well tolerated short-term but may cause allergic reactions, abdominal cramping, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, gas, nausea, sun sensitivity, or discolored stools; anaphylaxis is rare. A major safety concern for both: product quality and purity vary widely, and some batches can be contaminated with toxins or heavy metals.
The safety data for pregnancy and lactation are not complete in our files — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Perfect Aquatic Greens, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk), immunosuppressants (Moderate risk), diabetes medications (Moderate risk), or any drug that increases sun sensitivity (Moderate risk).
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may be worth considering if you're interested in spirulina for blood pressure support or chlorella for pregnancy-related iron deficiency, but quality varies significantly between brands. If you take warfarin, blood thinners, diabetes medications, immunosuppressants, or photosensitizing drugs, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Perfect Aquatic Greens by Perfect Supplements Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Perfect Aquatic Greens by Perfect Supplements interacts with medications through its spirulina and chlorella content.
The most serious concern is a Moderate interaction: chlorella contains vitamin K, which can reduce how warfarin (Coumadin) works and make your blood thinner less effective. There's at least one case report of this happening when someone started chlorella while on warfarin.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Spirulina may increase bleeding risk if you're already on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin), though this is unlikely in practice. It can also theoretically interfere with immunosuppressants by stimulating your immune system, and may lower blood sugar in people taking diabetes medications.
Chlorella can cause photosensitization (increased sun sensitivity) and may have additive effects if you're on photosensitizing drugs. Altogether, these interactions span 626 individual medications.
Check your exact medications with the search tool on this page, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take warfarin, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, immunosuppressants, or any medication that makes you sun-sensitive.

For each ingredient in Perfect Aquatic Greens 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.
organic 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.
organic Spirulina powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, spirulina blue-green algae might increase the risk of bleeding if used with other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. However, this is unlikely.
Spirulina blue-green algae have shown antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects in vitro. However, one preliminary study in 24 patients receiving spirulina blue-green algae 2.3 grams daily for 2 weeks showed no effect on platelet activation or measures of clotting time.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking blue-green algae with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Human research shows that spirulina blue-green algae can have hypoglycemic effects in patients with diabetes, at least some of whom were using antidiabetes drugs. However, blue-green algae does not seem to improve glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes. A meta-analysis of animal studies also suggests that spirulina blue-green algae have hypoglycemic effects.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, concurrent use of blue-green algae might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Blue-green algae have been shown to stimulate the immune system.
