Known as the life blood of plants, chlorophyll has been a buzzword in the supplements industry for some time. This natural plant pigment lends its green color to grass, leaves and vegetables and, as a dietary supplement, is credited with detoxifying the liver, eliminating body odor and cleansing the digestive tract. Some even say that chlorophyll rids the body of toxic mold. Taken in capsule or liquid form, chlorophyll might be one of the best things we can put our bodies, or so say proponents of chlorophyll.
Scientists claim that chlorophyll works to preserve human DNA. More than two decades ago, researchers discovered that chlorophyll may block certain bacteria from mutating in the human body. And following that plants need chlorophyll to survive and humans need plants to live, one could reasonably conclude that chlorophyll may benefit human health.
Unlocking the secret to chlorophyll is paramount to discovering the fountain of youth. Meaning, we'll never really know if introducing heightened doses of chlorophyll to the human body is any healthier than increasing one's intake of raw broccoli or spinach or any other green vegetable for that matter. Although friends of mine swear that chlorophyll supplements boost their energy levels, for me, the jury's still out.
