Frequently Asked Questions About Chlorophyll

Q: How does an effective chlorophyll supplement work?

Chlorophyll supplements are the best way to get the nutrients and health benefits that are trapped in plants and aren’t released when digesting the whole plant form. By stimulating digestion, eliminating toxins and reducing bacteria, chlorophyll removes bad odors from the body. It also provides nutrients and antioxidants that strengthen the immune system and fight fungus. Additionally, chlorophyll contains iron which supports blood cell health and is vital to keeping the body energized. We’ve found that chlorophyll can be more effective when combined with vitamin C which boosts both antioxidant levels and iron absorption. The formula can be more bioavailable if a thermogenic ingredient such as ginger is added. Ginger increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients while providing its own health benefits such as reducing inflammation, stimulating digestion, and boosting antioxidants.

The correct formula holds the key to success so look for something that contains ingredients backed by scientific data that work to increase the absorption of chlorophyll. The formula should not just be filled with ingredients that look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results. Additionally, be on the lookout for additives which do nothing to contribute to the formula and actually weaken the potency of the final product.

Q: Do all liquid chlorophyll supplements work?

Unfortunately, they do not. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health supplement trends formulating supplements that contain unnecessary inactive ingredients or cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings, and preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients. Do your homework and check the labels to make sure you are taking a quality product and not just some watered-down green liquid. 

Be sure to refrigerate your liquid chlorophyll supplement as higher temperatures can reduce the stability of the liquid and reduce efficacy.

Q: What are the important points to look out for?

Every liquid chlorophyll supplement should:

• Be sourced from mulberry leaves for a strong concentration of chlorophyll.
• Contain pure chlorophyll with no unnecessary ingredients that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.
• Contain sodium copper chlorophyllin which is the most bioavailable form of chlorophyll.
• Have its bioavailability increased by ingredients such as ginger or vitamin C.
• Be made in an FDA approved facility and adheres to the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) guidelines. These certifications indicate that a manufacturer is dedicated to producing a safe, quality product.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or are taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for liquid chlorophyll supplements?

Again, this differs between products. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 10-15 drops per serving with a maximum of three servings a day. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If you exceed the suggested dosage you could pose health risks to yourself.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects almost instantly while for others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. Results will vary depending on other factors such as the type of diet you consume, lifestyle choices and genetic disposition. There are many manufacturers that offer refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in its products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good liquid chlorophyll supplement?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been prepared without the correct potency or watered-down with additives, fillers, or preservatives. Some of these companies are selling their products for over $60 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality or a low recommended daily serving, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which chlorophyll supplement is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Approved Science Liquid Chlorophyll the most. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, Approved Science Liquid Chlorophyll had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback, and customer service.
