Chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green colour, is gaining ground as a health-promoting supplement, and the so-called chlorophyll drops in particular are currently very popular. What exactly does chlorophyll do, and what are the benefits of this green superhero?
What is chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is a natural pigment that helps plants (and algae) convert light into nutrients; this is known as photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
Health benefits of chlorophyll
As well as being rich in vitamins A, C, E and K, minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and antioxidants, chlorophyll can help with:
– Detoxification: Chlorophyll can help remove harmful substances from the body. It binds to heavy metals and other unwanted substances, making it easier for them to leave the body.
– Energy boost: Many people experience an increase in their energy levels after taking chlorophyll supplements. This may be linked to improved oxygen uptake and the detoxifying effect of chlorophyll.
– Support for skin health: Thanks to the antioxidants in chlorophyll, it can help combat free radicals, which can cause damage to the skin. This contributes to healthier and more radiant skin.
– Improved Digestion: Chlorophyll promotes healthy digestion by stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. This can help reduce bloating and other digestive complaints.
– Anti-inflammatory: Chlorophyll has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body.
