Chlorophyll is the pigment created by photosynthesis that gives plants their green color. While eating vegetables that are green in color provides chlorophyll naturally, many people find that taking liquid chlorophyll helps them lead a healthy lifestyle.

Derivatives of chlorophyll have shown antioxidant effect which means they can act against free radicals in the body that can cause inflammation.  A study from 2001 showed a reduction in aflatoxin (a carcinogen) biomarkers.  The study was short and more research is needed, but if you enjoy Chlorophyll Water there is potential for benefit.

Perhaps the biggest reason as to why I pursued a career in nutrition was because I suffered from childhood obesity. I understood the exceptional emotional and self-image distress that obesity can cause in many people. I suffered from bullying, lack of self confidence, poor body image and disordered eating patterns that were associated with my childhood obesity. On the flip side, I also was able to completely overcome my obesity by the time I was a teenager.

It’s important to take vitamins and supplements intentionally and with purpose (there is such thing as over-supplementing!). That being said, some common deficiencies are vitamin D, magnesium, B vitamins and iron. Inadequate supply of these over time can contribute to detrimental health outcomes so it’s really important to prevent identify if you’re at risk and do you present to prevent this from happening.
