NOW Foods Chlorophyll Liquid Extra Strength Mint

Chlorophyll is the green pigment at the heart of photosynthesis, enabling plants to convert sunlight into energy. But Chlorophyll doesn't just nourish plant life — it has a long history of nourishing human life as well. NOW Foods Chlorophyll Liquid Extra Strength Mint harnesses the power of sodium copper chlorophyllin, a water-soluble derivative of Chlorophyll, in a refreshing mint-flavored liquid formula designed to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage a proper immune response, and act as a natural deodorizer.

This generous 32 oz bottle provides a daily serving of 90 mg sodium copper chlorophyllin per two-tablespoon dose, paired with spearmint aerial parts oil for a clean, pleasant taste. Because natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve easily in water, most Liquid Chlorophyll supplements — including this one — use chlorophyllin, a semisynthetic sodium copper salt form that mixes readily into a glass of cold water.

Sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) is produced by replacing the magnesium atom at the center of the natural Chlorophyll molecule with copper and removing the fat-soluble phytol tail. The result is a stable, water-soluble compound that retains many of Chlorophyll's beneficial properties while being far easier to incorporate into a daily liquid supplement.

At a molecular level, Chlorophyll derivatives function as antioxidants: the porphyrin ring structure allows them to act as hydrogen donors, interrupting chain oxidation processes, chelating reactive metal ions, and scavenging free radicals. Research suggests these properties may help prevent oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation by decreasing reactive oxygen species.

One of chlorophyllin's most studied mechanisms is its ability to form tight molecular complexes with certain potentially harmful chemicals — including polyaromatic hydrocarbons found in tobacco smoke and heterocyclic amines from cooked meat — potentially interfering with their gastrointestinal absorption and reducing the amount that reaches susceptible tissues. Chlorophyllin has also been documented to modulate xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, including inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes and induction of phase 2 cytoprotective genes, which represent complementary detoxification pathways.

This formula also strengthens the body on a cellular and molecular level by encouraging healthy immune response. While direct human clinical evidence for immune-specific outcomes remains limited, chlorophyllin has traditionally been attributed immune-supporting properties based on preclinical evidence showing immunostimulatory effects and anti-inflammatory modulation.

This NOW Foods Chlorophyll Liquid Extra Strength Mint formula may be well-suited for individuals looking for a convenient, refreshing way to incorporate Chlorophyll into their daily routine. Based on its formulation and traditional uses, it may appeal to:

• Those interested in internal cleansing support — Chlorophyll has been traditionally used as an internal cleanser and detoxifier, valued for its ability to bind certain unwanted compounds in the GI tract.
• People seeking blood health support — Chlorophyll's structural similarity to hemoglobin has long inspired its traditional use in blood-supporting preparations.
• Anyone looking for immune system encouragement — chlorophyllin has traditionally been attributed immune-supporting properties in naturopathic practice.
• Individuals wanting a natural internal deodorizer — chlorophyllin has been used as an internal deodorant for more than 50 years, with some study evidence supporting its effectiveness in specific populations.

If you're unsure whether this product aligns with your personal health needs, our naturopath offers free consultations to help you make an informed decision.

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

The mint flavor makes it easy to incorporate into your daily hydration routine. Some users enjoy adding it to smoothies or other cold beverages for a refreshing green boost.

Note: Oral supplementation with chlorophyllin may cause green discoloration of urine or feces, or yellow or black discoloration of the tongue — these are normal and harmless effects. 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.
