Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants and known as “nature’s life force.” Chlorophyll aids in the body’s natural detoxification process and helps balance the body’s pH levels. Studies show chlorophyll may even help reduce hunger and aid in weight loss. Add chlorophyll to a glass of filtered water with a squeeze of fresh lemon and enjoy!

Chlorophyll known as green blood, liquid energy and green youth elixir is a product that has an extremely positive effect on the health of the whole body. The positive influence of the green elixir was discovered in the early 19th century by Richard Willstatter.  Chlorophyll, which is obtained from plants is rich in such valuable nutrients as: unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin: A, B, D, E; iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium.  It shows bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, regenerative and even anti-cancer effects.

Proper hydration plays a role in every cell in our body. Water aids in the transportation of nutrients, cushions our bones and joints, regulates blood pressure, aids in waste and toxin removal, and helps the body heal naturally. 
Chlorophyll helps promote oxygen delivery to cells in a similar way as hemoglobin (red blood cells). This means more energy and more capacity to function at optimal levels. It also plays an important role in detoxification of toxins and waste in the body.

Protein!  Many of my clients are curious about switching to plant based diets and they’ve tried it on their own but made the mistake of just loading up on carbohydrate sources and not having adequate amounts of protein. While many veggies offer some protein, it’s not enough to fuel an active lifestyle.  Pay attention to plant-based protein options to see the ratio of carbs and proteins. Aim for a minimum of 18g of protein per serving or higher. In addition to balancing PH levels,  the enzymes from chlorophyll water boosts energy & brain and body function naturally.

Chlorophyll has many amazing health benefits.  I like to think of chlorophyll as an internal cleaner, detoxifier, and restorer.  The phytochemicals and phytonutrients are helpful to get rid of toxins in blood stream as well as provide the contents to repair damaged tissue. This is done through the vitamins and minerals that oxygenate and increase blood production, which increases cell function within the body to promote well-being and the immune system.  It may be helpful at this time to take chlorophyll as immune system support as well as help get rid of oxidative stress from the anxiety and emotional stress that we feel at this time.
