Overview

Best Liquid Chlorophyll for Body Odor: What It Is and Why It Matters

If you've been searching for the best Liquid Chlorophyll for body odor, you're tapping into a tradition that dates back to the 1950s. Chlorophyll β€” the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plants β€” has been marketed as an "internal deodorant" for more than seven decades, and the practice of using it to help manage unwanted body and digestive odors has persisted in naturopathic and traditional wellness circles ever since.

Most Liquid Chlorophyll products sold today β€” including Nature's Sunshine Liquid Chlorophyll β€” actually contain sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC), a water-soluble, semisynthetic derivative of natural Chlorophyll. Where plant-based Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve cleanly in water, chlorophyllin was specifically developed to be water-soluble, making it ideal for a liquid supplement you simply stir into a glass of cold water.

Beyond its traditional deodorizing use, Nature's Sunshine formulated this 32 oz Liquid Chlorophyll to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage proper immune response, and strengthen the body on a cellular and molecular level. If you'd like help figuring out whether Liquid Chlorophyll fits into your wellness routine, our naturopath offers free consultations β€” no appointment fees, no strings attached.

The Science of Odor

How Liquid Chlorophyll Works as a Natural Deodorizer

Chlorophyllin's reputation as an internal deodorizer is rooted in documented historical use rather than large-scale modern clinical trials. One study published in January 1980 found that the administration of chlorophyllin was "helpful in controlling body and fecal odors" in 62 geriatric nursing home patients. Earlier research from 1953 suggested Chlorophyll could help reduce body odor in people with colostomies, ileostomies, incontinence, or chronic wounds.

There is also a more targeted finding: one study in a small number of Japanese patients with trimethylaminuria β€” a metabolic disorder that causes a strong, persistent body odor β€” found that oral SCC at 60 mg three times daily for three weeks significantly decreased urinary trimethylamine, the compound responsible for the characteristic odor.

It's important to be honest about the evidence: the deodorizing research in healthy individuals is largely drawn from small, dated studies. The most robust finding concerns trimethylaminuria, a specific metabolic disorder, not general body odor in the broader population. Still, SCC has been used orally as an internal deodorant for more than 50 years without any serious side effects reported, and many people continue to incorporate the best Liquid Chlorophyll for body odor into their daily routine based on this long history of traditional use.

What's inside

Key Ingredients

sodium copper chlorophyllin β€” 90 mg
Sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) is a water-soluble, semisynthetic derivative of Chlorophyll in which the central magnesium atom is replaced by copper, and the fat-soluble phytol tail is removed. This structural modification makes it easily dissolvable in water β€” the reason it works so well in a liquid supplement format. SCC has been used traditionally as an internal deodorant since the 1950s, with a 1980 study finding it helpful in controlling body and fecal odors in nursing home patients, and a separate study showing it significantly decreased urinary trimethylamine in patients with trimethylaminuria. Historically, Chlorophyll has been used as a traditional internal cleanser and detoxifier, based on its documented ability to bind certain chemicals in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce their systemic bioavailability. Research suggests chlorophyllin supports the body's detoxification systems: a landmark randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 180 adults found that 100 mg chlorophyllin three times daily produced a 55% reduction in urinary aflatoxin-DNA adduct biomarkers versus placebo. Chlorophyll's structural similarity to hemoglobin β€” both are tetrapyrrole ring structures β€” has traditionally led to the belief that Chlorophyll-rich preparations may support blood health. A Phase IV multicenter RCT found significant hemoglobin increases in adults and children treated with sodium iron chlorophyllin-containing tablets, though standard plant Chlorophyll (containing magnesium, not iron) lacks robust human clinical evidence for directly raising hemoglobin. Chlorophyllin has also been traditionally attributed immune-supporting properties based on preclinical evidence showing immunostimulatory effects and anti-inflammatory modulation, though direct human clinical evidence for immune-specific outcomes is currently absent.
spearmint aerial parts oil
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is an aromatic herb in the Lamiaceae (mint) family, native to Europe and southern temperate Asia, with a long history of use in traditional medicine and food flavoring. The essential oil fraction is dominated by carvone and limonene, while the phenolic fraction is rich in rosmarinic acid β€” a compound known to exert anti-inflammatory activities through its ability to inhibit lipoxygenases and cyclooxygenases. In this formula, spearmint aerial parts oil contributes to the pleasant taste profile of the liquid supplement. Preclinical research suggests that spearmint's rosmarinic acid and flavonoids may modulate immune function through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunosuppressant mechanisms. Rosmarinic acid has specifically demonstrated immunosuppressant activity in preclinical studies, including inducing apoptosis of activated T cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients. Spearmint has been used in traditional medicine since ancient times, including in traditional Iranian medicine for digestive complaints, and it is found in many everyday products including mouthwash and toothpaste, traditionally valued for oral hygiene and breath freshening.

How to Use

How to Take Liquid Chlorophyll

Nature's Sunshine keeps the serving directions simple: Take 2 tablespoons (30 mL) in an 8 fl oz glass of cold water daily. Refrigerate after opening.

Each 30 mL serving provides 90 mg of sodium copper chlorophyllin. The mild, spearmint-touched flavor makes it easy to incorporate into your morning or afternoon routine. Many people enjoy it as a refreshing green water they sip throughout the day.

A few things to keep in mind: Oral chlorophyllin may cause green discoloration of urine or feces, or yellow or black discoloration of the tongue β€” this is normal and not a cause for concern. There have also been occasional reports of diarrhea. Oral chlorophyllin may result in false positive results on guaiac card tests for occult blood, so mention your Chlorophyll use to your healthcare provider before any such testing.

Since the safety of Chlorophyll 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Liquid Chlorophyll really help with body odor?

Chlorophyllin has been used as an internal deodorant since the 1950s. A 1980 study found it helpful in controlling body and fecal odors in 62 geriatric nursing home patients, and earlier research from 1953 suggested benefits for people with colostomies, ileostomies, and incontinence. A separate study found that oral sodium copper chlorophyllin significantly decreased urinary trimethylamine in patients with trimethylaminuria, a specific metabolic disorder that causes strong body odor. However, there is little modern clinical evidence for this benefit in healthy people β€” the traditional use is well-established, but robust contemporary research is limited.

What is the difference between Chlorophyll and chlorophyllin?

Natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble, has a magnesium atom at its center, and includes a phytol tail β€” making it insoluble in water. Chlorophyllin (sodium copper chlorophyllin) is a semisynthetic derivative in which the magnesium is replaced by copper and the phytol tail is removed. This makes chlorophyllin water-soluble, which is why most 'Chlorophyll water' and Liquid Chlorophyll supplements β€” including this Nature's Sunshine formula β€” actually contain chlorophyllin rather than natural Chlorophyll.

Are there side effects from taking Liquid Chlorophyll?

Sodium copper chlorophyllin has been used for more than 50 years without any serious side effects reported. Common, harmless effects include green discoloration of urine or feces, yellow or black discoloration of the tongue, and occasional diarrhea. It may also cause false positive results on guaiac card tests for occult blood. Since safety has not been tested in pregnant or lactating women, it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. People with copper metabolism disorders such as Wilson's disease should also avoid supplemental sodium copper chlorophyllin.

How much Liquid Chlorophyll should I take daily?

Nature's Sunshine directs taking 2 tablespoons (30 mL) in an 8 fl oz glass of cold water daily, which provides 90 mg of sodium copper chlorophyllin per serving. No officially established recommended daily intake or tolerable upper intake level for Chlorophyll or chlorophyllin has been set by major regulatory bodies such as the NIH or EFSA for supplemental use.

Does Liquid Chlorophyll support anything beyond odor control?

Yes. Nature's Sunshine Liquid Chlorophyll is formulated to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage proper immune response, and strengthen the body on a cellular and molecular level. Research suggests chlorophyllin can bind certain toxins in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce their systemic bioavailability. Chlorophyll has also been traditionally used as an internal cleanser and detoxifier, and its structural similarity to hemoglobin has led to the traditional belief that Chlorophyll-rich preparations may support blood health.

Does Liquid Chlorophyll need to be refrigerated?

Yes. Nature's Sunshine directs you to refrigerate the bottle after opening. The product comes in a 32 oz bottle, so proper refrigeration helps maintain freshness throughout its use.
