Chlorofresh Liquid Chlorophyll | Nature’s Sunshine

Chlorofresh Liquid Chlorophyll is Nature's Sunshine's signature formula that harnesses the remarkable properties of Chlorophyll — the green pigment that powers photosynthesis in plants — and delivers them in a convenient liquid form designed to support your body's natural cleansing and wellness processes.

The formula centers on sodium copper chlorophyllin, a water-soluble derivative of Chlorophyll. While natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve cleanly in water, chlorophyllin was developed specifically to be water-soluble, making it ideal for a drinkable supplement. In chlorophyllin, the central magnesium atom found in natural Chlorophyll is replaced with copper, and the phytol tail is removed, resulting in a stable, bioavailable compound.

This 32 oz bottle is formulated to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage proper immune response, strengthen the body on a cellular and molecular level, and act as a natural deodorizer. It's a straightforward, refreshing addition to your daily routine — just mix it in a glass of cold water.

Chlorophyll and its derivative chlorophyllin have a rich history of use in traditional medicine. The Chlorophyll molecule shares a fascinating structural similarity to hemoglobin — both are built around tetrapyrrole ring structures, with magnesium at the center of Chlorophyll and iron at the center of heme. This resemblance has traditionally fueled its use in supporting blood health.

On a cellular level, chlorophylls present significant antioxidant activity. The chemical nature of the porphyrin ring allows them to function as hydrogen donors, stopping chain oxidation processes. Research suggests chlorophyllin helps prevent oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chelating metal ions.

Chlorophyllin is also able to form tight molecular complexes with certain chemicals known or suspected to cause harm, including polyaromatic hydrocarbons found in tobacco smoke and some heterocyclic amines found in cooked meat. This binding may interfere with gastrointestinal absorption of these unwanted compounds, reducing the amount that reaches susceptible tissues. Additionally, chlorophyllin has been documented to induce phase 2 cytoprotective genes — a complementary detoxification pathway in the body.

The deodorizing properties of chlorophyllin have been recognized since the 1950s. One study found that chlorophyllin administration was helpful in controlling body and fecal odors in 62 geriatric nursing home patients. Another study in Japanese patients with trimethylaminuria found that oral chlorophyllin significantly decreased urinary trimethylamine over three weeks.

This formula is designed for anyone looking to support their body's natural cleansing and renewal processes. If you're drawn to whole-body wellness and want a simple daily ritual that supports blood health, immune response, and internal freshness, chlorofresh Liquid Chlorophyll may be a great fit.

People who are interested in supporting their body's natural detoxification pathways may find chlorophyllin particularly appealing, given its documented ability to bind unwanted compounds in the gastrointestinal tract and support liver detoxification enzyme systems.

Those who struggle with body or digestive odor concerns may appreciate chlorophyllin's long history — stretching back more than 50 years — as a natural internal deodorizer.

If you're unsure whether this supplement aligns with your wellness goals, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help you explore what's right for your body. Note that 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 also avoid supplemental sodium copper chlorophyllin due to its copper content.

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

It's worth noting that 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 and not a cause for concern. There have also been occasional reports of mild diarrhea. Oral chlorophyllin may result in false positive results on guaiac card tests for occult blood, so let your healthcare provider know you're taking it if testing is planned.
