Liquid Chlorophyll Walgreens Shoppers Are Searching For
If you've been looking for Liquid Chlorophyll at Walgreens or other retailers, you've likely noticed how popular this deep-green supplement has become. Nature's Sunshine Liquid Chlorophyll harnesses sodium copper chlorophyllin — a water-soluble derivative of the green pigment that powers photosynthesis in plants — and delivers it in a generous 32-ounce bottle designed for daily use.
Chlorophyll nourishes plant life by converting the sun's rays into energy, but it also has a long history of supporting human health. Nature's Sunshine formulated this Liquid Chlorophyll to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage proper immune response, strengthen the body on a cellular and molecular level, and act as a natural deodorizer.
Most "Chlorophyll water" and liquid supplement products sold commercially contain chlorophyllin rather than natural Chlorophyll itself. Chlorophyllin was developed to be water-soluble, since natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and does not dissolve into water cleanly. This makes Liquid Chlorophyll easy to mix into a glass of cold water for convenient daily use.
Understanding Chlorophyllin and Its Role in the Body
Commercial sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) contains copper-containing porphyrin ring structures that are water-soluble and lack the phytol tail found in natural Chlorophyll. This structural modification allows chlorophyllin to dissolve readily in water while retaining many of the bioactive properties associated with Chlorophyll.
Chlorophylls and chlorophyllin present significant antioxidant activity through chelation of reactive ions and scavenging of free radicals. The chemical nature of the porphyrin ring allows chlorophylls to function as hydrogen donors, helping to prevent oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Chlorophyll and sodium copper chlorophyllin are able to form tight molecular complexes with certain chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer, including polyaromatic hydrocarbons found in tobacco smoke and aflatoxin B1. This carcinogen-binding activity may interfere with gastrointestinal absorption, reducing the amount that reaches susceptible tissues. Additionally, chlorophyllin has been documented to induce phase 2 cytoprotective genes in mammalian systems — a complementary detoxification pathway.
The use of Chlorophyll derivatives in traditional medical applications is well documented, with uses dating back to the mid-twentieth century including wound healing, anti-inflammatory applications, and internal deodorization. SCC has been used orally as an internal deodorant and in wound care for more than 50 years without any serious side effects.

Who May Benefit from Liquid Chlorophyll
This Liquid Chlorophyll formula is designed for adults seeking daily support for natural blood-cleansing processes, a healthy immune response, and cellular-level nourishment. Because it also acts as a natural deodorizer, it has historically been popular among people looking for internal freshening support.
Traditionally, Chlorophyll has been used as an internal cleanser and detoxifier, based on its documented ability to bind certain chemicals in the GI tract, support liver detoxification enzyme systems, and reduce gut-derived toxin absorption. Those interested in whole-body cleansing as part of a wellness routine may find this formula especially relevant.
If you're unsure whether Liquid Chlorophyll is right for your individual needs, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help you determine the best approach for your wellness goals.
Important note: Since the safety of Chlorophyll or chlorophyllin 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 supplemental sodium copper chlorophyllin.
Directions for Use
Take 2 tablespoons (30mL) in an 8 fl oz glass of cold water daily. Refrigerate after opening.
The refreshing green liquid mixes easily into cold water thanks to chlorophyllin's water-soluble nature. Many people enjoy making it part of their morning routine.
When taken orally, supplemental Chlorophyll or sodium copper chlorophyllin may cause green discoloration of urine or feces, or yellow or black discoloration of the tongue. There have also been occasional reports of diarrhea. Oral chlorophyllin may result in false positive results on guaiac card tests for occult blood — something to be aware of if you're scheduling any lab work.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Chlorophyll and chlorophyllin in Liquid Chlorophyll supplements?
Most Liquid Chlorophyll products — including this one — actually contain chlorophyllin, a semisynthetic sodium copper salt derivative of Chlorophyll. Natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve into water cleanly, so chlorophyllin was developed to be water-soluble. In chlorophyllin, the central magnesium atom is replaced by copper, which also improves stability and prevents the color from changing from green to brown. Both the FDA and EFSA recognize chlorophylls as safe for use in foods.
Is Liquid Chlorophyll safe to take every day?
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. Common side effects include green discoloration of urine or feces and occasional diarrhea. However, since safety has not been tested in pregnant or lactating women, it should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation. Individuals with Wilson's disease or other copper metabolism disorders should also avoid it due to its copper content. If you have questions about daily use alongside medications, our naturopath offers free consultations.
Does Liquid Chlorophyll really help with body odor?
Chlorophyll has been marketed as an internal deodorant since the 1950s. One study published in 1980 found that chlorophyllin administration was helpful in controlling body and fecal odors in 62 geriatric nursing home patients. Another study found oral SCC (60 mg three times daily) for three weeks significantly decreased urinary trimethylamine in patients with trimethylaminuria. However, the evidence in healthy individuals is largely drawn from small, dated studies, and there is little modern evidence for this benefit in otherwise healthy people.
Can Liquid Chlorophyll support blood health?
Chlorophyll's structural similarity to hemoglobin — both are tetrapyrrole ring structures — has traditionally led to the belief that Chlorophyll-rich preparations may support red blood cell production. Research on sodium iron chlorophyllin (a related derivative containing iron rather than copper) has shown clinical evidence for hemoglobin increases in studies on iron-deficiency anemia. However, standard plant Chlorophyll containing magnesium or copper — rather than iron — lacks robust human clinical evidence for directly raising hemoglobin or red blood cell counts. This product is formulated to support natural blood-cleansing processes.
How much chlorophyllin is in each serving of this product?
Each 30 mL (2 tablespoon) serving provides 90 mg of sodium copper chlorophyllin in a convenient liquid form. The bottle contains 32 fl oz total. The formula also includes spearmint aerial parts oil, which contributes a pleasant minty flavor along with naturally occurring bioactive compounds like rosmarinic acid.
Are there any drug interactions with Liquid Chlorophyll I should know about?
A case of delayed methotrexate clearance was reported following administration of a complementary medication containing Chlorophyll, suggesting a potential pharmacokinetic interaction with at least one chemotherapy agent. Additionally, carefully controlled studies have not been undertaken to determine whether chlorophyllin's ability to form molecular complexes with chemicals might also limit uptake of required nutrients or co-administered medications. If you take prescription medications, it's wise to speak with a healthcare professional — our naturopath is available for free consultations to discuss potential interactions.
