Liquid chlorophyll is one of the most underrated, yet most beneficial natural products available and might be the answer to helping you take one more great green step towards total health.
So what is chlorophyll?
In basic terms, chlorophyll is what makes plants green. Through photosynthesis, plants convert the sun’s energy into chlorophyll and then release oxygen into the atmosphere. (Flashback to high school biology anyone?) Just as blood is important for human life, chlorophyll is important for plant life. If the chlorophyll is drained from a plant, it will die.
The benefits of chlorophyll, found in both foods and liquid chlorophyll supplements are numerous. Chlorophyll is best known as a powerful anti-oxidant, cleanser, and detox with anti-inflammatory properties. It stimulates and assists in the repair and healing of damaged tissues. Chlorophyll is also a wonderful filter for pollutants; in fact, regular ingestion of chlorophyll has proven to be a great neutralizer of environmental pollution and would be beneficial for smokers.
Chlorophyll is probably best known for its deodorizing benefits, reducing body odor and bad breath. Chlorophyll has also been known to fight the deposit of carcinogens in the body and is known to help in dealing with the side-effects of drugs and other toxins.
Personally, when I take liquid chlorophyll, I feel more energetic and fresh in the morning and it really does neutralize odor, I have not a chemically based deodorant in years! It really does feel cleansing from the inside out.
I know people who also feed it to their pets to help with doggy bad breath!
I love to receive the benefits of chlorophyll by following three easy guidelines.
1. I make sure I eat plenty of foods high in chlorophyll.
The best sources of chlorophyll are raw, leafy green vegetables like chard, kale, wheatgrass, barley, alfalfa, and Spirulina (blue green algae). Keep in mind that cooking vegetables kills the chlorophyll content in the plant.
2. I cleanse 2-4 times each year.
One of the ways I cleanse, is by eating a raw food diet several times each year. I am not a vegan right now, however the benefits of cleansing with a vegan raw food diet for specified amount of time (2 weeks to 4 months) is incredible! When I “go raw” I eat plenty of foods high in chlorophyll and take a liquid chlorophyll supplement.
3. I take small amount (1Tbsp in water) of liquid chlorophyll each day.
I began to notice results within a week. I’ve tried quite a few brands and feel the Nature Sunshine is the best tasting. It’s actually good – especially when you buy the spearmint flavor! I’m not affiliated with the company (other than the aff link provided) but they seem to have a similar health philosophy as mine and host a wide variety of excellent herbal products. Thankfully, it’s available through Amazon, because finding a rep in a pinch can be challenging.
The product claims that taking a liquid chlorophyll supplement:
- Helps promote the natural blood-cleansing functions of the body
- Promotes strong immune response
- Strengthens cells
- Deodorizes the body, including the bowel
- May help improve immune response and deodorize the body
Chlorophyll performs metabolic functions in plants such as respiration and growth. Interestingly, the chlorophyll molecule is chemically similar to human blood, except that its central atom is magnesium, whereas that of human blood is iron.
