HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potasinase by Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Potasinase contains 5 active ingredients. The two we can assess are sodium copper chlorophyllin—a plant-derived compound related to chlorophyll—and potassium, an essential mineral your body needs for nerve and heart function.

The other three active ingredients are pea powder, lentil powder, and millet flour. The product also contains inactive ingredients (fillers and capsule material): rice flour, gelatin, and vegetable lubricant.

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: Body and wound odor control.
  • We looked for evidence on: Body odor, Fecal odor, Urinary odor, Wound healing, Ostomy care, Incontinence management.
  • 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 for chlorophyllin is mixed and limited. It's rated possibly ineffective for urinary odor, and there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for acne, cancer prevention, constipation, gas, or low white blood cell count.

We have no established effectiveness data for potassium's role in this supplement, nor for pea powder, lentil powder, or millet flour.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorophyllin Potassium

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.

Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data are sparse. Oral chlorophyll has been linked to photosensitization (sun sensitivity) and, in rare case reports, to a blistering condition called pseudoporphyria.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding—there isn't enough safety data to recommend use. Potassium from food is safe, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels, especially if you have kidney disease.

Oral potassium can cause stomach pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting; in rare cases, high levels trigger irregular heartbeats, heart block, low blood pressure, and mental confusion. Use potassium supplements only under a doctor's guidance during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Chlorophyllin, Potassium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 366 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 Potasinase, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or potassium-sparing diuretics—all carry a moderate risk of high blood potassium. Also double-check if you take any photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase sun sensitivity).

Don't start this product without clearing it with your own healthcare provider first.

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.

Potasinase is designed to deliver potassium and chlorophyllin alongside plant powders, but the evidence for its uses is limited or absent. The real concern is potassium: if you take blood pressure medications (especially ACE inhibitors or ARBs) or potassium-sparing diuretics, this supplement could push your potassium to unsafe levels.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you, especially if you have kidney disease or take any blood pressure or water-pill medications.

Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin1 drug type · 335 drugs

Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chlorophyllin with photosensitizing drugs may have additive effects.
Chlorophyllin is a semi-synthetic derivative of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been reported to cause photosensitization. Orally, chlorophyll has also been associated with the development of pseudoporphyria in multiple case reports.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Potasinase by Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Potasinase by Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potasinase has a known interaction with 366 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Potasinase contains 5 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.
What does chlorophyllin do in this product?
Chlorophyllin is a plant-derived compound related to chlorophyll. It's been studied for urinary odor (rated possibly ineffective) and other uses like acne and constipation, but there isn't enough reliable evidence to say it works for those. The evidence is limited, and long-term safety data are sparse.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
For the chlorophyllin: no, there isn't enough safety data—avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For potassium: dietary potassium is fine, but supplements should only be used under a doctor's guidance in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
What are the side effects of chlorophyllin?
Chlorophyllin is generally well tolerated short-term, but it can cause photosensitization (sun sensitivity) and, rarely, a blistering skin condition. In one reported case series, two women developed easily bruised blisters on their hands after drinking a chlorophyll product.
What are the side effects of potassium in this product?
Common side effects include stomach pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting. Rare but serious effects from high potassium levels are irregular heartbeats, heart block, low blood pressure, and confusion. If you have kidney disease, potassium supplements are especially risky.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
Potassium interacts with blood pressure drugs and water pills because those medications alter how your body manages potassium levels. Adding a potassium supplement on top can push those levels dangerously high. That's why the interactions span hundreds of medications—not all in one product, but across the many drugs in those categories.
Is this product safe to use with my blood pressure medication?
That depends on which blood pressure medication you take. ACE inhibitors and ARBs (common blood pressure drugs) carry a moderate risk of dangerously high blood potassium when combined with this product. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—they know your full medical picture and can advise you.
