While essential to the life of a plant, chlorophyll may also provide health benefits for humans.

Proponents of chlorophyll believe the pigment detoxes the body, strengthens the immune system, and boosts energy, among other things.

Chlorophyll Water, the first-ever bottled water in the USA to pass and receive the ‘Clean Label Project Certification’ has expanded it’s retail footprint with Whole Foods Market to cover the entire Northeast region.

Brooklyn based, Chlorophyll Water launched at Whole Foods Market in their home state of New York (Brooklyn, Long Island, Manhattan), and with it’s surge in demand and impressive sales velocity numbers Whole Foods Market has selected Chlorophyll Water to expand it’s retail footprint to over 47 more Whole Foods Market locations in the entire Northeast.

But the latest green-tinted health beverage trend going viral on TikTok, with nearly 550 million views, is chlorophyll water, which — let's face it — looks a bit like something you would scoop out of a long-neglected fish tank.

The plant-based supplement certainly sounds and looks healthy, and TikTok videos, alongside plenty of marketing material, have made some pretty wide-ranging claims for chlorophyll's health benefits. Among the biggest claims are that the vibrant green drink can improve your complexion and deliver clearer skin, energize your immune system, and improve your digestion.

Chlorophyll is sold as a tablet, capsule, or liquid with a dropper for dispensing the green solution. You may see fans of the liquid chlorophyll supplement swirl it into water.

Some evidence suggests that liquid chlorophyll may help with weight loss, prevent some cancers, and treat certain skin concerns. Although, as of 2023, researchers have not fully studied those possible benefits. More research is needed to figure out the efficacy and safety of liquid chlorophyll.

There's a new health obsession taking over your Instagram and/or TikTok feed. It may look kind of gross, but people are buzzing about its body benefits… Introducing: Drinking water that's been doused with chlorophyll drops.

Chlorophyll, if you remember from your high school science class days, is the pigment in plants that makes them green and helps them turn the sun's rays into energy via photosynthesis.
