Mary Ruth Liquid Chlorophyll | Blood & Immune Support

Explore our deep-dive guide on mary ruth Liquid Chlorophyll—what it is, key ingredients, who it's for, how to take it, and frequently asked questions.

Overview

What Is Mary Ruth Liquid Chlorophyll?

If you've been searching for mary ruth Liquid Chlorophyll, you're likely interested in a convenient, water-soluble way to bring the green power of plants into your daily routine. Nature's Sunshine's Liquid Chlorophyll formula is a 32-oz concentrate built around sodium copper chlorophyllin — the water-soluble derivative of Chlorophyll — designed to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage a healthy immune response, and act as a natural internal deodorizer.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment that allows plants to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, and it has a long history of use in human health as well. The Chlorophyll derivatives used in liquid supplements like this one have been included in traditional medicine since the mid-twentieth century, with documented applications in wound healing, as an anti-inflammatory agent, and as an internal deodorant. Commercially in the United States, Chlorophyll products were historically extracted from alfalfa and found use in medicinal preparations and oral hygiene.

Because natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve cleanly in water, most Liquid Chlorophyll supplements — including this one — use chlorophyllin, a semisynthetic sodium copper salt derivative that mixes easily into a glass of water. This makes it simple to add to your daily routine without capsules or complicated preparation.

How It Works

How Mary Ruth Liquid Chlorophyll Supports Your Body

The benefits highlighted for this formula center on three areas: blood support, immune encouragement, and whole-body cleansing. Here's what the research and traditional use tell us about each.

Blood-Cleansing & Blood Health

Chlorophyll's structural similarity to hemoglobin — both share a tetrapyrrole ring structure — has traditionally led practitioners to associate Chlorophyll-rich preparations with blood health. Research on sodium iron chlorophyllin (a related derivative) has shown promising clinical results for iron-deficiency anemia in multicenter studies, though standard plant-derived Chlorophyll containing magnesium rather than iron has less robust direct evidence for raising hemoglobin levels. Chlorophyll and chlorophyllin have also been shown in studies to form tight molecular complexes with certain carcinogens and environmental toxins, potentially reducing the amount that reaches susceptible tissues and supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways.

Immune Response

Chlorophyllin has traditionally been attributed immune-supporting properties, and preclinical evidence suggests immunostimulatory effects and anti-inflammatory modulation. The formula also includes spearmint aerial parts oil, whose rosmarinic acid and flavonoids have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in preclinical studies. Together, these ingredients are traditionally used to encourage a balanced immune response.

Whole-Body Cleanse & Deodorization

Chlorophyll has been used as a traditional internal cleanser and detoxifier for decades, supported by its documented ability to bind carcinogens and reduce their systemic bioavailability, as well as support liver detoxification enzyme systems. Its role as an internal deodorizer dates back to the 1950s — one study in 62 geriatric nursing home patients found chlorophyllin administration was helpful in controlling body and fecal odors. A separate study in patients with trimethylaminuria found that oral sodium copper chlorophyllin significantly decreased urinary trimethylamine.

What's inside

Key Ingredients

Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin — 90 mg
Sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) is a water-soluble derivative of Chlorophyll in which the central magnesium atom is replaced by copper, and the phytol tail is removed. This structural modification makes it dissolve easily in water — unlike natural Chlorophyll, which is fat-soluble. SCC contains two related copper-containing compounds (trisodium copper chlorin e6 and disodium copper chlorin e4) with porphyrin ring structures that underlie its biological activity. The chemical nature of the porphyrin ring allows it to function as a hydrogen donor, helping stop chain oxidation processes and providing antioxidant activity by chelating reactive ions and scavenging free radicals. SCC is one of the best-studied dietary chemoprotective agents against aflatoxin B1, a potent environmental mycotoxin. A landmark randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 180 adults in Qidong, China, found that 100 mg chlorophyllin three times daily for four months produced a 55% reduction in urinary aflatoxin-DNA adduct biomarkers versus placebo. Studies suggest chlorophyllin may support the body's natural detoxification processes by binding lipophilic carcinogens in the gastrointestinal tract and reducing their hepatic exposure — a crossover clinical trial confirmed chlorophyllin reduced aflatoxin bioavailability in human volunteers. Traditionally, Chlorophyll has been used as an internal cleanser based on its ability to bind toxins, support liver detoxification enzyme systems, and reduce gut-derived toxin absorption. Its structural similarity to hemoglobin has historically led to associations with blood health, and Chlorophyll-rich preparations like wheatgrass have been traditionally used to support red blood cell production, though controlled human evidence for isolated Chlorophyll improving anemia is limited. Chlorophyllin has also been traditionally attributed immune-supporting properties based on preclinical evidence showing immunostimulatory effects and anti-inflammatory modulation. As a natural deodorizer, SCC has been used orally for more than 50 years without serious side effects.
Spearmint Aerial Parts Oil
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is an aromatic herb in the Lamiaceae family, native to Europe and southern temperate Asia, with a rich history of traditional use dating back to ancient Rome. Its essential oil is characterized by carvone (22–73%) and limonene (8–31%) as dominant constituents, along with a phenolic fraction rich in rosmarinic acid and flavonoids. In this formula, spearmint aerial parts oil contributes both flavor and functional benefits. Research suggests that spearmint's rosmarinic acid and flavonoids modulate immune function through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunosuppressant mechanisms documented in preclinical studies. Specifically, rosmarinic acid has demonstrated immunosuppressant activity, including inducing apoptosis of activated T cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients. In vitro studies have shown that spearmint oil significantly inhibited the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α from stimulated macrophages. Spearmint has been traditionally used across cultures — from ancient Rome to traditional Iranian medicine — for digestive support and as an aromatic agent.

Who Benefits

Who Is Mary Ruth Liquid Chlorophyll For?

This formula is designed for adults looking for a simple daily addition to support their body's natural cleansing and blood-health processes. You may find mary ruth Liquid Chlorophyll especially relevant if you're interested in:

  • Supporting natural detoxification: Those looking to help their body manage everyday environmental exposures may appreciate chlorophyllin's documented ability to bind certain toxins in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Encouraging a healthy immune response: If you're seeking traditional immune support, chlorophyllin and spearmint have both been historically used in this capacity.
  • Internal freshness: Chlorophyllin has been used as a natural internal deodorizer since the 1950s, and some people find it helpful for maintaining freshness from the inside out.
  • A gentle daily green ritual: If you struggle to eat enough leafy greens, a tablespoon-based liquid supplement mixed into water offers a convenient alternative.

If you're unsure whether this product fits your health goals, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help you think through the best approach for your individual needs.

Important note: Since the safety of Chlorophyll or chlorophyllin supplements has not been tested in pregnant or lactating women, they should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation. Individuals with rare disorders of copper metabolism, such as Wilson's disease, should limit exposure to copper additives, including supplemental sodium copper chlorophyllin.

Directions

How to Take Liquid Chlorophyll

Take 2 tablespoons (30mL) in an 8 fl oz glass of cold water daily. Refrigerate after opening.

Many of our customers enjoy the mild, slightly minty taste — thanks to the spearmint aerial parts oil — making it an easy and even refreshing part of a morning routine. Each 32-oz bottle provides a generous supply at the recommended daily serving.

When taken orally, supplemental chlorophyllin may cause green discoloration of urine or feces, or yellow or black discoloration of the tongue. These are harmless cosmetic effects. There have also been occasional reports of mild diarrhea. Oral chlorophyllin may result in false positive results on guaiac card tests for occult blood — something to keep in mind if you have upcoming lab work.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is mary ruth Liquid Chlorophyll actually Chlorophyll or something different?

Most Liquid Chlorophyll supplements — including this Nature's Sunshine formula — contain sodium copper chlorophyllin, a semisynthetic, water-soluble derivative of Chlorophyll. Natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve in water cleanly, so chlorophyllin was developed to make a stable, mixable liquid. In chlorophyllin, the central magnesium atom of natural Chlorophyll is replaced by copper, and the phytol tail is removed. It retains the porphyrin ring structure that underlies many of Chlorophyll's biological properties.

Will Liquid Chlorophyll turn my teeth or tongue a different color?

When taken orally, supplemental chlorophyllin may cause yellow or black discoloration of the tongue, as well as green discoloration of urine or feces. These are harmless cosmetic effects and are not a sign of any adverse reaction.

Can Liquid Chlorophyll really help with body odor?

Chlorophyllin has been marketed and used as an internal deodorant since the 1950s. One study in 62 geriatric nursing home patients found it was helpful in controlling body and fecal odors. A separate study in patients with trimethylaminuria (a specific metabolic disorder) found that oral sodium copper chlorophyllin significantly decreased urinary trimethylamine. However, there is little modern evidence for this benefit in healthy individuals — most supporting research comes from older studies or specific clinical populations.

Is Liquid Chlorophyll safe to take every day?

Natural chlorophylls are not known to be toxic, and sodium copper chlorophyllin has been used for more than 50 years without any serious side effects reported. That said, pregnant or lactating women should avoid Chlorophyll supplements, as safety has not been tested in these populations. Individuals with Wilson's disease or other copper metabolism disorders should also avoid supplemental sodium copper chlorophyllin due to its copper content. If you take medications — particularly methotrexate or other drugs processed by the liver — it's wise to check with a healthcare provider. Our naturopath is available for a free consultation if you'd like personalized guidance.

Does Liquid Chlorophyll actually support blood health?

Chlorophyll's structural similarity to hemoglobin — both share a tetrapyrrole ring structure — has traditionally led to associations with blood health. Research on sodium iron chlorophyllin (a related derivative containing iron) has shown clinical evidence supporting blood health in the context of iron-deficiency anemia, including a Phase IV multicenter RCT that found significant hemoglobin increases. However, standard plant-derived Chlorophyll supplements like this one contain magnesium or copper rather than iron, so direct evidence for raising hemoglobin levels is more limited. The product is formulated to support natural blood-cleansing processes.

How should I store Liquid Chlorophyll after opening?

Refrigerate after opening. The 32-oz bottle should be kept cold to maintain freshness and stability throughout use.
