Kourtney Kardashian on Chlorophyll Water: A Fact-Check

Kourtney Kardashian promotes adding liquid chlorophyll to her water as a way to hydrate and absorb nutrients at the same time. The evidence does not back the pitch: a systematic review of chlorophyll turned up only scattered, low-quality human studies, none showing hydration or nutritional benefits from drops in water. The habit is harmless, but the nutrients she references come free, and with fiber and vitamins, from simply eating vegetables. This is a marketing claim dressed as a health one.

Kourtney Kardashian said

“Kardashian says spiking her filtered water with liquid chlorophyll lets her 'multitask' by hydrating while getting nutrients food cannot always supply.”

The science says

A systematic review found only sparse, low-quality human data on chlorophyll supplements; there is no good evidence that adding it to water improves hydration, nutrition or longevity.

Science Score

An evidence-based systematic review found insufficient high-quality human trials to support health claims; the relevant evidence is essentially none.

The verdict

Harmless and photogenic, but 'nutrients you can't get from food' is doing far more work than the evidence allows.

The claimWhat Kourtney actually said

On her lifestyle site Poosh, Kardashian lists liquid chlorophyll among her daily tonics, saying she adds it to filtered water to stay hydrated and pick up nutrients. Poosh markets wellness products and has a commercial interest in promoting habits like this.

Why it mattersWhy this matters for longevity

Wellness influencers can turn harmless trends into purchases framed as health necessities.

Hydration genuinely matters, but plain water and whole foods beat pricey additives.

The evidenceWhat the science says

A systematic review of chlorophyll found only scattered, low-quality studies, mostly on topical or niche uses, rather than hydration, nutrition or longevity.

There is no sound human evidence that chlorophyll drops in water improve hydration or deliver nutrients you cannot get more cheaply by eating leafy greens.

TakeawayThe honest takeaway

The practical lesson

Drink water when you are thirsty and eat your greens; you can skip the chlorophyll drops without missing anything.

SupplementsThe supplement angle: Dietary chlorophyll from greens

Support a habit, do not replace one

Chlorophyll comes free with leafy vegetables, which also carry fiber and vitamins that a few drops in water do not; there is no need to buy it as a supplement.

Supplements can support good habits. They do not replace sleep, movement, nutrition, or medical care. Talk with your healthcare provider before starting anything new.
