Is this just another wellness fad, or does it have any merit to it?
Chlorophyll is a beneficial nutrient found in all leafy green vegetables. Since many people don't eat a healthy, high vegetable diet, it canbe something their body could benefit from. However, if you're lowin chlorophyll, you're likely low in other nutrients too. Since most supplements on the market are made with a synthetic formof chlorophyll called chlorophyllin, which has little information available about how it interacts with our bodies, I recommend increasing the leafy greens in your diet. This can be achieved by simply consuming a juice of leafy greens in the morning. Even a simple drink of parsley and water can provide significant benefits.
