Uncovering the Health Benefits of Chlorophyll: What You Need to Know

Chlorophyll is the green plant pigment known as Green Gold or Plant Blood. It is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (various active compounds in plants that play a role in plant growth or defense against pathogens or predators).

The benefits of Chlorophyll are endless. It has been used in folk medicine for YEARS as a deodorizer for bad breath, urine, fecal waste, and body odor, and it can reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, constipation, and hemorrhoids.

It also helps skin health and can be applied topically to increase the glow and lighten acne scars. Chlorophyll also increases the rate of bacteria absorption and the efficiency of white blood cells, which defend the body against infection and disease. It reduces inflammation and has the potential to stimulate red blood cells, improving oxygen supply. It can treat infected wounds naturally and helps protect the body against toxins.

Chlorophyll is found in green leafy plants and comes in powder, tablets, and liquid form. Heads up, Drinking chlorophyll in liquid form does cause your poop to turn green! Some say drinking one ounce of chlorophyll equals eating 2.5 lbs of green leafy veggies!

I consume Chlorophyll first thing in the morning instead of my morning cup of Joe! I add drops throughout the day as well, especially before a workout.
