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.

As it turns out, chlorophyll is really nothing new in the health and wellness space.

Used to treat ulcers, for pain relief and skin disorders, and even as a breath freshener, it was soon replaced by drugs and chemical antiseptics. Its myriad benefits, of course, never went away. It truly is a powerhouse ingredient, worthy of its enduring appeal. In our bodies, it works as a great oxygenator, helping our red blood cells take up oxygen, which makes them work more effectively and energetically, for overall good health (and all the good things that come with it, including radiant skin).

One of the most common things people know about chlorophyll is that it gives plants their green color. This substance helps green plants absorb energy nutrients from sunlight. Chlorophyll also contains vitamins and antioxidants, too. And although you can get chlorophyll from plants, it’s possible to do so with supplements as well. Here’s what preliminary research and experts can say about the potential benefits of chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll water, also often called liquid chlorophyll, is a compound found in plant membranes that makes them green. It’s jam-packed with antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals, like magnesium and copper. Similar to why people drink green juices or add a greens supplement to smoothies, the idea is that drinking chlorophyll water will give you many of the great benefits that come from eating vegetables.

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. Liquid chlorophyll does appear to be helpful to clear and smooth your skin. Chlorophyll water appears to work to help your body detox.  Chlorophyll has been shown to help promote weight loss There is very limited research on whether or not sipping chlorophyll water can help with weight loss.

Chlorophyll has some surprising health benefits.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, chlorophyllin copper complex can be used topically to treat wounds, as it removes dead cells and sanitizes. A 2015 study showed that the same component could be used to treat acne, showing improvements in just a matter of weeks. While there is a long history of using chlorophyll-derived unguents to treat the skin, the health benefits of consuming it have been less tested (via Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University).
