HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Spirulina Chlorella by Vimerson Health

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains two active ingredients: organic spirulina and organic chlorella, both freshwater algae. Spirulina is often used as a nutrient-dense supplement, while chlorella is another algal source promoted for similar purposes.

The product also contains several inactive ingredients—hypromellose (a capsule coating), silicon dioxide, rice flour, and ascorbyl palmitate—that help form and preserve the capsule.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Pregnancy-related iron deficiency — rated "Possibly Effective" (Chlorella) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypertension — rated "Possibly Effective" (Blue-green Algae) (Natural Medicines).

For spirulina, there's evidence it may help with high blood pressure (hypertension), though for acne, hay fever, iron deficiency anemia, and arsenic poisoning, the evidence isn't strong enough to rate. For chlorella, it's possibly effective for iron deficiency in pregnancy; evidence for brain tumors, fatty liver disease, depression, and fatigue is not established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Blue-green Algae Chlorella

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.

Both ingredients are generally well tolerated, though product quality and purity vary widely—a real concern with algae supplements because of potential contamination with toxins or heavy metals. Common side effects from spirulina include abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, headache, and dizziness.

Chlorella may cause similar digestive symptoms, especially in the first two weeks, plus allergic reactions ranging from mild rashes to rare anaphylaxis. Rare cases of gum bleeding and bruising have been reported with spirulina, and chlorella can cause photosensitivity (sun-exposed skin reactions) in some users.

For pregnancy, chlorella is rated possibly safe; we don't hold safety data for chlorella during lactation or for spirulina during either pregnancy or lactation. Because contamination is a concern and safety data are limited, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or 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 — Chlorella, Blue-green Algae.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 626 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 starting this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, immunosuppressants, or photosensitizing drugs. These carry documented moderate interactions with one or both ingredients in this supplement.

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 a nutrient-dense algae supplement and don't take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, immunosuppressants, or photosensitizing medications. If you do take any of those, or if you take warfarin in particular, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Product quality varies, so sourcing matters—contamination with heavy metals or toxins is a real risk with algae supplements.

organic Chlorella2 drug types · 337 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
organic Chlorella full monograph & interactions

organic Spirulina3 drug types · 327 drugs

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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of blue-green algae might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Blue-green algae have been shown to stimulate the immune system.

Spirulina Chlorella by Vimerson Health: Common Questions

Does Spirulina Chlorella by Vimerson Health interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Spirulina Chlorella has a known interaction with 626 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Spirulina Chlorella contains 2 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 are spirulina and chlorella?
Both are freshwater algae used as nutritional supplements. Spirulina is known for possibly helping with high blood pressure; chlorella may support iron levels in pregnancy. They're often combined for their nutrient density, though evidence for many other claimed uses isn't yet solid.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Chlorella is rated possibly safe in pregnancy, but we don't hold safety data for spirulina during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—they can weigh the limited data and help you decide what's right for you.
What side effects might I notice?
Most common are digestive: abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and flatulence, especially in the first couple of weeks. You might also feel dizzy, fatigued, or get a headache. Allergic reactions including rashes or, very rarely, anaphylaxis have been reported.
Why does the safety data mention contamination?
Algae supplements can pick up heavy metals and toxins from their growing environment or processing. Product quality varies widely, so source and manufacturing standards matter—look for reputable brands that test for purity.
Is this safe with my medications?
Not without checking first. Chlorella can interfere with warfarin, and spirulina may affect blood thinners, diabetes drugs, and immunosuppressants. Use the search tool on this page to check your specific medications, then confirm with your doctor or pharmacist.
