What is Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is actually responsible for the green pigmentation in plants. Chlorophyll is the “blood of plant life.” It is the life force of plants and contains life-giving nutrients that are easily assimilated by the human body.
Chlorophyll is what absorbs energy from the sun to facilitate photosynthesis in plants. Chlorophyll to plants is like blood to humans. It is important in many plant metabolic functions such as growth and respiration.
What Does Chlorophyll Do?
Its molecular structure is very similar to the molecular structure of the human red blood cell: haemoglobin, except that the central atom in chlorophyll is magnesium, while iron is central in human blood. It has the same effect as iron and is a natural blood builder. The benefits of chlorophyll have been discovered for many years in the field of science and research.
Question: “I heard that it is a natural deodorizer, is that true?”
Answer: Research does prove that it helps. That is why you will find those benefits printed on different labels of certain brands of chlorophyll.
Historical Uses Of Chlorophyll:
Aid to Nutrition and Digestion
- It helps to control and regulate calcium levels in the blood.
- It aids in blood sugar problems.

- Disease-causing bacteria find it difficult to live in the presence of chlorophyll.
- It accelerates tissue cell activity, which helps the body heal faster.
- It can be used as a gargle for tonsils.
- It inhibits the metabolic action of carcinogens (cancer-causing agents).
- It has been used to remove toxic metal from children.
Chlorophyll and the Bowel
- It deodorizes the bowel and entire body; a natural antiseptic for the intestinal tract.
- It aids in rebuilding damaged bowel tissue and helps to eliminate mucus.
