How Much Liquid Chlorophyll Per Day | Dosage Guide

Understanding how much Liquid Chlorophyll per day is right for you starts with knowing what you're actually taking. Most Liquid Chlorophyll supplements — including the Nature's Sunshine Liquid Chlorophyll we carry — contain sodium copper chlorophyllin, a water-soluble, semisynthetic derivative of natural Chlorophyll. While natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve cleanly in water, chlorophyllin was specifically developed to be water-soluble, making it ideal for a convenient daily liquid supplement.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment that powers photosynthesis in plants, but its relevance to human health goes well beyond the garden. The chlorophyllin in this formula is designed to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage proper immune response, strengthen the body at a cellular level, and act as a natural deodorizer. These uses have roots stretching back decades — Chlorophyll derivatives have a documented history in traditional medicine since the mid-twentieth century, including wound healing, anti-inflammatory applications, and internal deodorization.

If you have questions about whether Liquid Chlorophyll is a good fit for your wellness routine, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help you think it through.

For Nature's Sunshine Liquid Chlorophyll (Stock #1683-7, 32 oz), the directions are straightforward:

Take 2 tablespoons (30 mL) in an 8 fl oz glass of cold water daily. Refrigerate after opening.

Each 30 mL serving delivers 90 mg of sodium copper chlorophyllin. That's all there is to it — no complicated schedules, no loading phases. Simply mix it into a glass of cold water once a day.

It's worth noting that no officially established recommended daily intake (RDI) or tolerable upper intake level (UL) for Chlorophyll or chlorophyllin has been set by major regulatory bodies such as the NIH or EFSA for supplemental use. However, chlorophyllin has been used orally for more than 50 years without any serious side effects reported. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0–15 mg/kg body weight for copper chlorophylls as a food additive.

Liquid Chlorophyll appeals to a wide range of people looking for a simple, once-daily addition to their wellness routine. Based on the areas this formula is designed to support, it may be a good fit for:

• Those interested in supporting natural blood-cleansing processes — Chlorophyll's structural similarity to hemoglobin has long made it a go-to in traditional and naturopathic practice for blood health support.
• People seeking whole-body cleansing support — Chlorophyll has been traditionally used as an internal cleanser for decades, based on its documented ability to bind certain compounds in the GI tract and support liver detoxification enzyme systems.
• Anyone wanting to encourage healthy immune response — preclinical evidence suggests chlorophyllin has immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, and traditional frameworks have long positioned it as an immune tonic.
• People looking for a natural internal deodorizer — chlorophyllin has been used as an internal deodorant since the 1950s, with some research supporting its effectiveness in specific populations.

Because it mixes easily into a glass of cold water, it's especially convenient for people who prefer liquids over capsules or tablets. If you're unsure whether Liquid Chlorophyll is right for your situation, our naturopath offers free consultations and is happy to help.

Natural chlorophylls are not known to be toxic, and no toxic effects have been attributed to chlorophyllin despite more than 50 years of clinical use in humans. That said, there are a few things worth knowing:

• Oral chlorophyllin may cause green discoloration of urine or feces, or yellow or black discoloration of the tongue. This is harmless and expected.
• There have been occasional reports of diarrhea related to oral SCC use.
• Chlorophyllin may result in false positive results on guaiac card tests for occult blood.
• Since the safety of Chlorophyll supplements has not been tested in pregnant or lactating women, they should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation.
• Individuals with rare disorders of copper metabolism, such as Wilson's disease, should limit exposure to copper additives, including sodium copper chlorophyllin.

A case of delayed methotrexate clearance was reported following administration of a complementary medication containing Chlorophyll, suggesting a potential interaction with at least one chemotherapy agent. If you take prescription medications, consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. Our naturopath is also available to discuss potential considerations during a free consultation.
