The health benefits of leafy green vegetables are generating a lot of buzz these days.
These nutrient rich superfoods have a deep, rich colour due to the presence of chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants that facilitates the absorption of sunlight, and plays a vital role in promoting good health.
It’s important to eat our daily 5+ a day, especially the dark leafy greens, as we know they are necessary for all of the powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals they provide. But now drinking your greens has become more and more popular with everyone from Oprah, to Joe Cross and Miranda Kerr talking about their green super juices.
But if the thought of blending up a daily veggie packed smoothie or dragging out the juicer you’ve had stored in the back of the cupboard was just a bit too hard, how about trying liquid chlorophyll. This power packed green superfood is a delicious and convenient way of getting a daily green nutrient hit that you and the whole family will enjoy.

Power up your detox
If you’re taking juices or herbal remedies to detox, consider adding some liquid chlorophyll for detox support. Scientific research suggests that as well as being high in antioxidants, chlorophyll and the related compound chlorophyllin may have the ability to bind to toxins, preventing them from being absorbed by the body. At the same time, it appears to trigger the action of key enzymes that drive the body’s natural processes for neutralising and eliminating toxins.
What to look for in a liquid chlorophyll supplement
It’s important to look for a brand that adheres to the strictest standards for product agriculture and manufacturing and regularly tests to ensure its purity and potency so you only get the best possible quality product.
Chlorophyllin (sodium copper) is the preferred liquid chlorophyll – it is water-soluble, found to be more stable, safe, and allows for far greater absorption and bioavailability. Sodium magnesium chlorophyllin is another source but is not considered as stable as the copper alternative.
Many liquid chlorophylls use an ethanol (alcohol) preservative, not the best choice when detoxing or for children, and it can give the formula a strong, unpleasant smell and taste. Your ideal liquid chlorophyll is also free from preservatives, parabens, sweeteners or artificial flavourings, and look out for those free from palm oil.
Adding green superfoods into your diet doesn’t need to be cumbersome and time consuming. Liquid Chlorophyll is a delicious, nutritious and convenient source of super greens for a more healthful you.
