Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll can be found in many green leafy vegetables and is naturally great way to maintain and healthy lifestyle...

What is it?
Chlorophyll is found in all plant life, giving plants their green pigment. These pigments allow plants to capture energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy, sustaining all plant life (photosynthesis). Chlorophyll can be found in high amounts in most leafy green vegetables. Wheatgrass, barley and alfalfa are all high in chlorophyll.

Benefits for our blood
Chlorophyll is known to be a ‘cleanser extraordinaire’, mainly to do with it’s ability to cleanse or purify the blood. It’s properties support the efficient removal of toxic substances from the bloodstream. Not stopping there, it also replenishes the blood, containing nutrients specific to red blood cell health. The chlorophyll molecule has a striking similarity to the hemoglobin molecule in human blood. It has been shown to actually do the work of hemoglobin in the blood stream and as such has been used to successfully treat anemia, among other conditions. It is also an antioxidant, inhibiting cellular damage from free radicals.

More than just a breath freshener
Chlorophyll is also very well known as a deodorizing and breath freshening agent, working from the inside out, literally starting at the cellular level. Although it does not possess any antiseptic properties of its own, it very effectively supports the body’s own ability to fight bacteria. Commercial chewing gums, toothpastes, and mouthwashes often have chlorophyll added to them for this reason. It has been shown to enhance the disease resistance of cells, as well as inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Chlorophyll can be used as an overall immune support and treatment, working to fight both superficial and chronic infection. Studies using chlorophyll intravenously for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis are showing some promising results.

Magnesium
Chlorophyll is nutrient dense, containing a readily absorbable form of magnesium, as well as a handful of other important minerals, including iron, potassium and copper. It’s nutrient breakdown also means that chlorophyll is highly alkaline, which in itself has numerous health benefits and is especially important for preserving the calcium content of bone, as in osteoporosis.

Chlorophyll, as a supplement
If eating your greens is not an option, try chlorophyll as a supplement. It can be found at your local health food store in capsule, tablet or liquid form. The liquid form is usually 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 or odor. Most green food supplements are combinations of medicinal foods and herbs that are high in chlorophyll as well as other nutrients.

Important information
Chlorophyll can potentially cause photosensitivity in some individuals. Be cautious with unprotected sun exposure when consuming or supplementing with high amounts of chlorophyll. There is very little research dedicated to the safety of using chlorophyll during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. It is best to avoid its use at these times.
