If you've been scrolling through TikTok, you may have noticed Chlorophyll (not to be confused with chloroform) is currently trending! People are drinking it to generally cleanse their bodies and clear their skin. Last week, we noticed orders going out of our warehouse had multiple bottles of this stuff and eventually we sold out! So naturally, we had to investigate...
So, does drinking chlorophyll water really work and what are all the benefits? Read on and we'll break it all down for you.
What is Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is found in plants and is a pigment crucial in the process of photosynthesis which creates energy. It is important to life in general but it also has some great benefits to us and is known as nature's green vitality boost and a superfood.
Chlorophyll contains vitamins, minerals and every essential amino acid and is an excellent antioxidant. If you're vegan it's a great supplement to take that is plant-based and incredibly powerful.
What are the benefits of Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll benefits the immune system because it’s able to form tight molecular bonds with certain chemicals that contribute to oxidative damage. Some studies suggest links to helping fight cancer as chlorophyll can help prevent uptake of certain carcinogens in the body.
Other studies show chlorophyll can help liver detoxification so it is ideal to help us cope with the stress we put on our livers every day with the rich, fatty foods we eat and the alcohol we drink.
Chlorophyll also provides oxygen for the acidophilus bacteria in the bowel, encouraging efficient elimination and helps cleanse the body tissues of impurities and toxins. Chlorophyll can help with weight loss and help support a diet focused on weight loss.
This amazing superfood is antiviral so can help with protecting the skin and help with issues such as cold sores.
Chlorophyll can help increase our energy and improve our wellbeing. It naturally takes away bad breath and body odour.
Chlorophyll is something you can find in leafy green veggies and they are ideal when they are raw or lightly cooked. You can also find it as a supplement you may want to add to your diet everyday. Grant's Liquid Chlorophyll is ideal to take with water or juice or use in salads.
