Answers:
Chlorophyll does nothing to the body other than supply a source of nutrients.

C55H72O5N4Mg is it's rough formula, so you can see that chlorophyll is a source of carbon, hydrogen, and less so of oxygen, nitrogen and magnesium. These are elements that are common in all organic and inorganic foods...in much higher proportions than chlorphyll.

It is yet another Altie scam

EDIT: With all "due respect", Healer is full of s*hit. Anyone with even a tiny bit of education in biology or botany knows that chlorophyll is a carbon compound produced by plants, that takes energy from the sun, and nspired carbon dioxide, and turns it into carbohydrate that the plant can use. It is very useful for plants. Plants themselves are relatively nutrient poor, which is why animals like cows have to spend all day eating grass, and then have fermentation vats that give them most of their nutrition.
There are NO health benefits, in particular detoxification or cleansing or purging or whatever pseudoscientific label you want to put on it. There are health benefits from eating fresh fruits and vegetables, but it is not because of the chlorophyll.

I have even read things written by Alties on the benefits of wheat grass, who claim the chlorphyll somehow becomes hemoglobin in the body! That is utter nonsense. Chlorophyll in the stomach is broken down to its' constituent parts and used in normal metabolism. It has no effect on hemoglobin at all, and certainly doesn't turn into it.Health Question & Answer

It helps with cleansing, and it is a source of nourishment. I treated bulimic patients with liquid chlorophyl, and managed to stop their craving, by boosting the intake of essential nutrients. Chlorophyl is the closest to our blood but plant origin. As it is a plant extract, not a chemical molecule, as one of you guys answered, it has a complex composition, have basic nutrients, and trace elements. If you are interested in this, look into the work of Dr Bernard Jensen, he very well researched this subject, and healed thousands with diet that included chlorophyl.

Those of you guys who knows nothing about this, just mouthing off the usual stuff, that alternative medicine doesn't work, just look around yourself, and will see natural therapies working everywhere, from spices in food to Dencorub on your chest when you get a cold. Get your facts right!Health Question & Answer
