What are the health benefits of taking chlorophyll?

I have heard that chlorophyll can transform into hemoglobin. I currently am taking a food supplement that has chlorophyll in it and I feel it's also effective so I want to know what are the other health benefits of taking chlorophyll and where can we get it?

Hi @ai-ai, chlorophyll has been simply known as the substance that is responsible for the green color in plants. Scientist has found out that it is also beneficial to man and have made it readily available in form of tablets, liquid solutions and extracts for human consumption.

Chlorophyll is present in all green leavy vegetables, especially the darker ones. But due to the fact that most green vegetables, such as spinach needs to be cooked before eating, the chlorophyll content seems to be lost. So to get regular supply of chlorophyll, you have to settle for chlorophyll supplements which you can get at the drug store.

The health benefits of chlorophyll to humans include;

*Repairing of worn out tissues

*Provision of magnesium and neutralizing oxygen free radicals in the body

*Helps to stimulate the red blood cells

*Chlorophyll helps to rid the body of waste products and is an effective deodorizer.

*It also contains carcinogenic properties that help prevent cancer.

You do not need to "take" chlorophyll. It is a natural part of a balanced diet. Specifically it is found in green vegetables. Chlorophyll is what makes them green.

Recent research indicates that it may help protect from cancer causing chemicals in the diet. However, this has not been solidly established.

There is no reason to buy chlorophyll supplements. Just eat a reasonable amount of green vegetables.

I have never heard of that but when i go back to my high school days i remember some thing from my teacher that might help you. When we eat beef we get only ten percent of the the energy from the grass it ate. but when we eat veggies or more importantly greens we get 100% of the energy from it so we feel more vital and energized the next day if you have had a healthy helping of salad in the morning. Chlorophyll is just the pigment that attract the sunlight and harnesses the sunlight so the plant can live its also what make plants green almost if i'm not being too disgusting think of it as plant blood in a way it gives the plant energy so in turn you get the energy from the plants. So it is probably better to eat a salad than taking chlorophyll supplements it is healthier and not cut with chemicals.
