Chlorophyll is a
group of green
pigments that allow
plants to capture
energy from the
sun. It is most
well known as a
deodorizing and
breath freshening
agent by speeding
the release of
toxins from the
bloodstream.
Commercial chewing
gums, toothpastes,
mouthwashes and
deodorants often
have chlorophyll
added to it for this
reason.

Chlorophyll is a
very nutritious
substance because it
contains large
amounts of
magnesium. It
is used for blood
disorders, like anemia, because a
molecule of
chlorophyll
resembles the human
hemoglobin
(oxygen-carrying)
molecule.
Chlorophyll also has
antioxidant
properties and
therefore, protects
our cells from
damage due to free
radicals. Natural
health practitioners
for a variety of
conditions including
body odour, bad
breath,
detoxification,
anemia, inflammation
and wound healing
recommend
chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is
abundant in many
grasses and
sprouts. It is
added to chewing gum
and mints. As a
supplement it is
found in tablet or
liquid form. The
liquid form is
concentrated and
should be diluted
with water.
Sometimes mint is
added to chlorophyll
liquid to give it a
fresh taste,
otherwise there is
no taste to
chlorophyll. You
may even find
chlorophyll already
added to bottled
water. Green food
supplements are
combinations of
medicinal foods and
herbs that are high
in chlorophyll as
well as other
nutrients.
There are no known
toxicities, side
effects or
contraindications to
the use of
chlorophyll. |
