HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Chlorella 1000 mg by Wonder 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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Chlorella” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Super Chlorella contains one active ingredient: chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants. The product also contains cellulose and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients (binders and fillers).

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 — see Chlorophyll's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Chlorophyll source for general nutrition support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Halitosis, Wound healing, Detoxification, Antioxidant support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chlorophyll is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Halitosis.

The evidence for chlorophyll is not established in our data. The facts note insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for genital herpes, wound healing, shingles, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and pancreatitis.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chlorella 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, though high-quality safety data are limited. The most common side effect when taken by mouth is photosensitization — increased sensitivity to sunlight that can cause severe reactions.

Rarely, oral chlorophyll has been linked to pseudoporphyria, a condition that causes blistering on the hands. The safety data advise against chlorophyll during pregnancy.

Safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise.

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?
  • 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.

Check your medications before starting this product if you take photosensitizing drugs (drugs that increase sensitivity to sunlight) or methotrexate. These are the two main interaction concerns documented for chlorophyll.

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.

Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated short-term, but the photosensitization risk and potential interaction with methotrexate mean you need to check your medications first. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it unless your doctor says otherwise.

Talk with your pharmacist before you start, especially if you take any photosensitizing drugs or methotrexate.

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.

Super Chlorella 1000 mg by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Super Chlorella 1000 mg by Wonder Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Chlorella 1000 mg has a known interaction with 339 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Super Chlorella 1000 mg 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 is chlorophyll, and what does it do?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment plants use to capture sunlight. This product contains it as an active ingredient, but the evidence for what it does in your body isn't established in our data.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against it during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so it's best avoided unless your doctor says otherwise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What's the most common side effect?
Photosensitization — increased sensitivity to sunlight that can cause severe sunburn-like reactions. If you take this, limit sun exposure and use strong sunscreen.
Does chlorophyll in this product interact with my methotrexate?
It may. One case report showed chlorophyll delayed the body's clearance of high-dose methotrexate, but stopping chlorophyll a couple of days before treatment prevented this. Check with your pharmacist about your specific dose and timing before you start.
What are the inactive ingredients?
The product contains cellulose and magnesium stearate — common binders and fillers in tablets.
How long can I safely take this?
The data note that chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but high-quality safety information for longer use is limited. Ask your pharmacist how long is appropriate for your situation.
