What do you think about the dietary supplement in the form of liquid chlorophyll, sodium-copper chlorophyllin?
The best sources of chlorophyll are green vegetables and fruits. These can be, for example, spinach, broccoli, lettuce, parsley, green beans, kale, etc. It is worth knowing that many vegetables containing chlorophyll contain oxalic acid, which is harmful in greater amounts. Long-term cooking destroys chlorophyll. Therefore, it is a good idea to put vegetables in the boiling water to minimize the time spent in the water. There should be plenty of water, thanks to which the acid rinses out.
The more liquid a substance has, the more good our body can derive from it. Therefore, a nice option is to make juices, smoothies, green vegetables purees, fruits and eat them in this form. If you supply the recommended amount of chlorophyll per day from food products, there is no need for additional supplementation with liquid chlorophyll
However, such supplementation does not bring any negative effects. The difference between natural and isolated chlorophyll is only that copper appears in place of the central atom, magnesium. The action of both chlorophylls is no different. There are benefits to taking chlorophyll and derivatives and in some cases supplementation may be justified. It does not have any extraordinary properties, but it can form complex compounds with carcinogens, such as nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic compounds, mycotoxins and some dioxins.
