Hi,
It is not advisable while suffering from polycythemia. Chloroxygen (chlorophyll concentrate) is a natural supplement claimed to be effective for blood detoxification, odor control, wound healing, gut health, energy, immune system support and cancer prevention.
However, its efficacy and safety has not been established for the treatment of polycythemia in fact it works by promoting healthy levels of red blood cells, thus raising red blood cell count (hematocrit) which can be serious while suffering from polycythemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
