General
...Orally, topically, or intravenously, significant adverse effects have not been reported.
However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Photosensitization.
Topically: Dermatitis, photosensitization.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Pseudoporphyria.
Dermatologic ...Topically, chlorophyll cream has been reported to cause dermatitis (41912). Orally, chlorophyll can cause photosensitization (1326). Certain carotenoids such as beta-carotene and canthaxanthin seem to prevent or lessen the photosensitivity that results from taking chlorophyll (1326). Oral consumption of chlorophyll has been associated with the development of pseudoporphyria in case reports. Two females developed easily traumatized blisters on their hands after consumption of a Swisse Chlorophyll drink (93892). In one case series, four males developed skin blisters and skin erosions after taking oral chlorophyll 100-1200 mg daily for 6.5 months up to 7 years. Resolution of symptoms was delayed for 2-8 months after chlorophyll discontinuation (97933).
