If you’ve been around family or friends who are focused on living a healthier lifestyle or if you’ve been noticing more articles on “non-toxic” or “detoxing,” you’ve no doubt heard or read about the health benefits of chlorophyll.  One impressive company, Chlorophyll Water, has captured this rapidly expanding market by combining the health benefits of vitamin-enhanced chlorophyll water with eco-friendly, sustainable, non-toxic bottles.

According to the team behind Chlorophyll Water, many benefits come with ingesting chlorophyll, energy-boosting properties aside. As Kourtney Kardashian puts it, “Chlorophyll makes me feel like I’m multitasking by staying hydrated while also getting important nutrients my body needs and can’t always get from food.” And we all know Kourtney is the lifestyle guru Kardashian, so I’m kind of sold.

Chlorophyll has been used as a health supplement for many years, with medical studies suggesting it has all kinds of wide-reaching health benefits. In terms of nutrition, chlorophyll is a great source of vitamins and antioxidants, helping to keep the body healthy and to fight off disease. A number of studies have also shown that consuming chlorophyll can not only heal skin and reduce levels of cholesterol but improve the quality of red blood cells too.

Mandy Moore said early this year that she likes to drink it for gut health, and there are tons of other claims out there about the stuff. The brand Cholorophyll Water says it’s a source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin D. In general, “there are claims that it can detoxify, fight odor, heal wounds, energize you, and fight cancer,” says Marjoram. “Most of the claims stem from it being a great source of antioxidants, which generally speaking, promote health and fight disease.”

Chlorophyll supplements have long been available as pills, drops, sprays, powders or capsules. Riding the wave of chlorophyll's popularity, however, are newer products like Chlorophyll Water, which is billed as a plant-powered purified water infused with vitamins.

A 2016 study that used a form of chlorophyll to treat patients with anemia found that it may improve anemia symptoms. Another study suggests that grass drinks high in chlorophyll be used to treat hemoglobin deficiencies due to its antioxidant activity and molecular structure that resembles red blood cells.
