After a quick review of my old biology text, I remembered how important – in fact, essential – chlorophyll is to plants, but I wondered what kind of actual benefit it could have on my day-to-day health.Ĭhlorophyll has been touted as a weight-loss secret that can also help in r egulating cholesterol levels, relieving constipation, and regulating digestion, hormonal imbalances, and easing fibromyalgia and arthritis, according to MedicineNet.
If you recall any of your high school biology classes, the term photosynthesis may ring a bell.Ĭhlorophyll is actually an important part of the photosynthesis process, acting as the primary pigment that helps plants convert the sun’s rays into energy for growth.
On the surface, chlorophyll looks just like something that you'd use to tie-dye your clothes, but a closer examination reveals that a few drops of this green pigment (found in plants like spinach, kale, wheatgrass, spirulina, and parsley to name a few) is extremely potent. If you search the hashtag #chlorophyll on TikTok, you’ll find influencers and wellness gurus all over the country using green tinctures to infuse their water with chlorophyll, and with average folks like me trying it, together, all these videos have gained millions in views.
