Chlorophyll is what gives plants their stunning green colour; plants use it to convert sunlight into energy as part of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll has a central magnesium atom in its structure, making it an excellent source of this essential mineral.

Why take a Chlorophyll Supplement?

The Benefits of Chlorophyll for Health

Chlorophyll is used as a natural detoxification support supplement as it helps support a healthy internal bowel environment for healthy elimination. Anecdotally chlorophyll is said to help keep bowel odours at normal healthy levels, and the fact that chlorophyll supports a healthy bowel environment aligns with this theory. For extra liver support, consider a Milk Thistle supplement alongside your Chlorophyll.

Available as chlorophyll liquid or in capsule form, chlorophyll supports the body's normal process of heavy metal detoxification. What’s more, liquid chlorophyll and capsules have been shown to support immune health and white blood cells for rapid immune support. It also helps maintain a healthy pH in the body and supports alkalinity.

Wholefood Sources of Chlorophyll

Greens such as Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley Grass or Wheat Grass are excellent wholefood sources of chlorophyll and another healthy way to take a chlorophyll supplement. They offer additional nutrients too, including fibre, which further supports healthy detoxification and elimination via the bowel.
