Chlorophyll is a liquid I have been drinking nightly for years. Although the way I do it can leave your mouth a blue-ish green, I  find it palatable and the benefits exponential so it doesn’t bother me with my husband, or my old roommate remarks about my blue mouth.

Chlorophyll is a green substance that does not have much of a taste and is a great hea

A shot-a-day

lth supplement. It is found in green leafy vegetables and also green fruits (kiwi, etc..) Some research shows its effective in cancer prevention and weight loss which might be due to its effects on satiety. It has also been proven to help detox the body, help with the removal of germs and the ability stop the growth of new ones. It has also been proven to help with halitosis and who doesn’t want the security of knowing you have healthy breath!! There are a few companies who sell chlorophyll that is Mint flavored but I do not like the taste of those. I prefer this chlorophyll.

I have also found that chlorophyll helps with my digestion. Although my diet is relatively clean (I can always find improvements..) sometimes I need a little help with the elimination. This can happen more often while on a juice cleanse or eating extremely paleo or honestly, sometimes it can happen if you are not consuming enough water, after traveling on an airplane or without explanation. Sometimes instead of wracking my brain with the “how when why” I just concede to a shot or two of chlorophyll at night just to make sure.

There is also research on its ability to help with low iron levels. Instead of reaching for a pill or a more traditional method of increasing levels, I always try to try a more holistic approach (obviously with my doctors approval) and liquid chlorophyll has been a great help. Talk to your doctor about it!

Directions:

At night take a gulp or two before brushing your teeth and heading to bed. I usually take my probiotic with it…

Other options for a less green mouth:

Mix 1-2 tbsp of fresh chlorophyll in a big glass of water before bedtime.
