Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants and algae, is in many ways the origin of the evolution of life on Earth.
Green plants and algae create chlorophyll to harness the sun's rays and convert them into energy, not just for themselves but for all herbivorous animals on the planet.
You could say that chlorophyll is "concentrated sunlight" that can be eaten.
5 benefits of eating more chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is a powerful antioxidant and is rich in vitamins A, C, E and K as well as the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron.
This green super nutrient helps us, among other things, to:
Increase the production of red blood cells that, among other things, transport oxygen throughout the body. This is because chlorophyll has a similar chemical structure to hemoglobin.
Counteract bad breath by disinfecting and restoring the digestive tract and protecting us against various types of toxins from the environment and other foods.
Reduce the risk of developing digestive diseases as well as various types of inflammatory conditions.
Slow down the aging process by counteracting free radicals in synergy with other antioxidants.
Regulate hunger sensations and thus help us maintain a healthy weight.
