We consulted health experts to get the lowdown on this buzzy drink and whether you should try it.
Weight loss, cancer prevention, anti-aging, and wound healing are just some of the perks that influencers are crediting to chlorophyll water. Here’s what you need to know about the most popular claims circulating on social media.

The potential health benefits of chlorophyll are nothing new. The pigment has been studied and used as a supplement for many years. However, recent popularity has drawn more attention and hype to the claims. Here are some of the benefits, according to Crouch and Morse.

Chlorophyll provides extra micronutrients and fatty acids that you may not be getting enough of in your diet, such as vitamins A, C, E, and K, magnesium, beta-carotene, and more. While liquid chlorophyll can help augment micronutrient intake, it is not recommended for use as a sole source of these micronutrients.

As per experts, there are several benefits of consuming liquid Chlorophyll such as weight loss, detoxification, cancer prevention and blood-building and oxygenating. According to a study, it may also help in improving blood platelets and the presence of antioxidants can help in preventing cancers and cell damage caused due to free radicals.
Moreover, it helps in boosting immunity and can naturally improve gut health. Although there's not much evidence on the disadvantages of drinking liquid Chlorophyll, in some cases it has been observed that the intake of this drink can cause GI distress, greenish colour of urine or skin irritation.

The fifth day of chlorophyll water was just as surprising as the fourth day. My skin "seemed" to be clearing up, and I still saw a huge improvement in my digestion. My body was really agreeing with the amount of water I was putting in it, as well as the foods in my diet.

Ok, the sixth day was my favorite. My skin felt more hydrated, my breakouts became less noticeable, and the redness and irritation went down all over my face. I was a big fan of chlorophyll water this day.
My body was starting to completely reset and it felt like it and was rewarding me for my five days of awesomeness in the clean eating department. I was just waiting for karma to hit me at this point.

Liquid chlorophyll can be readily bought in pharmacies and online. The kind of chlorophyll that is bought as a supplement usually comes in the form of chlorophyllin which is actually better absorbed into the body than when it is eaten from a natural source.

There many claims that chlorophyll can help prevent cancer, stimulate the immune system, detoxify the blood and eliminate body odor amongst other things. However, though promising in many ways, research for these claims is still in the early stages and is limited at this moment.  That said, here is a little of what the scientific community knows already about the most popular health claims-

Consuming chlorophyll on a regular basis can also help lower your cancer risk and aid your body in eliminating toxins. It is a natural anti-inflammatory which can help reduce chronic inflammatory problems such as arthritis. This is because it reduces the production of TNF-α, which is a pro-inflammatory chemical. It is also a natural antimicrobial and has some activity against yeast strains such as candida albicans as well. Chlorophyll can even help improve your CoQ10 production, which is important for your body to make energy and preserve your cardiovascular health.
