Liquid chlorophyll may be what’s called a “blood builder.” This means it can potentially increase the count of red blood cells and improve their quality.

In 2020, Matt Levine would pedal his bike around Brooklyn with a backpack full of water hoping to make some green. 

But, during the early months of the pandemic, the former restaurant owner’s goal was more than just making money. Levine wanted to pique the interest of businesses to carry his unusual liquid: mountain spring water mixed with liquid chlorophyll and essential vitamins.

Now, two years later, Chlorophyll Water, which gets its color from the green pigment extracted from alfalfa, is growing rapidly. Retail giants, such as Sprouts and Whole Foods, are displaying the brand prominently in some of their grab-and-go coolers. 

Here's a little refresher in case you're fuzzy: Chlorophyll is a pigment that's naturally produced by plants and algae and gives them their characteristic green color. It's critical for photosynthesis, the process by which sunlight is converted into energy. 

The green pigments you see in plants and algae are actually chlorophyll. It helps plants convert energy from the sun and soil, to grow. Chlorophyll works by absorbing the sun's rays as the plant goes through photosynthesis. It contains vitamins, antioxidants, and other therapeutic properties that may be beneficial to our health.

There’s a surprising amount of research that showcases the potential benefits chlorophyll (and chlorophyllin) can bring to our body, but not all have been done on humans or consist of using liquid chlorophyll.

Proclaimed the “Fittest Hotel on Earth” by the Wall Street Journal and decorated as “Best Spa and Wellness Award” by AHEAD Design Awards, Equinox Hotel is an urban oasis that creates the perfect retreat to restore and recharge and now stocked with Chlorophyll Water.
