NOW Foods Liquid Chlorophyll | Blood & Immune Support

NOW Foods Liquid Chlorophyll is a 32-ounce liquid supplement built around sodium copper chlorophyllin, a water-soluble derivative of the green pigment that powers photosynthesis in plants. While Chlorophyll nourishes plant life by converting sunlight into energy, chlorophyllin — its semisynthetic cousin — has been used in human wellness applications for more than 50 years.

This formula is designed to support natural blood-cleansing processes, encourage a healthy immune response, strengthen the body on a cellular and molecular level, and act as a natural deodorizer. It also contains spearmint aerial parts oil, which lends a refreshing flavor profile and contributes its own traditional benefits.

Chlorophyll derivatives have a long history in traditional medicine, with documented uses dating back to the mid-twentieth century, including wound healing, anti-inflammatory applications, and internal deodorization. Commercially in the United States, Chlorophyll products were historically extracted from alfalfa and found increasing use in medicinal preparations and deodorant products.

Sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) is structurally different from the Chlorophyll found in your salad greens. While natural Chlorophyll is fat-soluble, chlorophyllin replaces the central magnesium atom with copper and removes the phytol tail, making it water-soluble and easier to incorporate into liquid supplements like NOW Foods Liquid Chlorophyll.

The porphyrin ring structure at the heart of chlorophyllin allows it to function as a hydrogen donor, helping to scavenge free radicals and support antioxidant activity. Research suggests chlorophyllin may also form tight molecular complexes with certain chemicals known or suspected to cause harm — including polyaromatic hydrocarbons and aflatoxin B1 — potentially interfering with their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

Studies also indicate that chlorophyllin may support the body's phase 2 cytoprotective enzyme systems, a complementary detoxification pathway that aids in the metabolism and clearance of xenobiotic compounds. These mechanisms contribute to its traditional reputation as a whole-body cleanser and blood-supporting supplement.

If you have questions about how chlorophyllin fits into your personal wellness routine, our naturopath is available for a free consultation — no membership or appointment pressure required.

This supplement may appeal to individuals looking for gentle, daily support for their body's natural cleansing and blood-health processes. Traditionally, Chlorophyll-based supplements have been favored by those who want to support their liver detoxification pathways and promote a healthy internal environment.

People interested in immune system support may also find NOW Foods Liquid Chlorophyll relevant, as chlorophyllin has traditionally been positioned as an immune tonic in naturopathic practice — though it's worth noting that direct human clinical evidence for immune-specific outcomes is still emerging.

Those who are concerned about internal freshness may appreciate chlorophyllin's historical use as a natural deodorizer, a role it has served since the 1950s. And because this liquid format mixes easily into water, it's a convenient option for anyone who prefers not to swallow capsules or tablets.

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

The liquid mixes easily and the spearmint aerial parts oil gives it a pleasant, mild mint flavor. Many people enjoy making it part of their morning routine by adding it to their first glass of water for the day.

A few things to be aware of: oral chlorophyllin may cause green discoloration of urine or feces, or yellow or black discoloration of the tongue. These are cosmetic effects and are not known to be harmful. Occasional reports of diarrhea have also been noted. 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.
