Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
It would have been helpful if you could provide more detail about the contraceptive pill and herbal medicine you are taking. To answer you question in general herbal supplements do not interfere with the contraceptive action of the contraceptive pills, so the herbal supplements can be taken.
Chlorella is an antioxidant and it not interfere with the contraceptive pill and hence can be taken. Hope that answers your question.
