CHLOROPHYLL

While diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are the primary keys to True Wellness, it is often difficult to get everything our bodies need. Quality supplementation in the correct quantity and format is often required.


Today in the spotlight is CHLOROPHYLL – the green pigment found in plants. Through photosynthesis, the chlorophyll molecule harnesses the sun’s energy in order to perform various metabolic functions. When we humans ingest chlorophyll, we also can benefit from this energy.


Most of the chlorophyll we ingest comes from leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, lettuce, wheat grass, etc. Other sources are sea vegetables (spirulina, chlorella) and herbs like mulberry and barley grass.


In the case of chlorophyll, supplements may be more effective, as chlorophyll doesn’t survive digestion long enough for absorption. Chlorophyll supplements are actually chlorophyllin, which contains copper instead of magnesium. Chlorophyllin contains much of the nutritional value of raw chlorophyll, but is more easily absorbed.


Some of the potential health benefits of supplementing with chlorophyll include:


· Stimulating the immune system

· Eliminating fungus in the body

· Detoxifying your blood

· Cleaning your intestines

· Getting rid of bad odors

· Energizing the body

· Preventing cancer

· Weight loss
