Can chlorophyll be dangerous? Is it toxic?

Question

I have body odor and was told to take it. However, I want to make sure it's safe before trying it.

Also, can it cause an upset stomach? Thanks!!

Answer 1

The following is taken from the source found below:

"In a study of geriatric patients, chlorophyllin was said to be effective in helping control body and fecal odors and helped ease chronic constipation. It also reduced excessive flatus is some. In another study, this one involving incontinent geriatric patients, subjects received 100 mg of chlorophyllin daily or placebo for two weeks. A non-significant decrease in urinary odor was noted in those receiving chlorophyllin, compared with those on placebo."

"Supplemental chlorophyll and supplemental chlorophyllin should be avoided by pregnant women and nursing mothers."

"Use of chlorophyll and chlorophyllin supplements may cause discoloration of the urine (green urine), the feces (green stool) and the tongue (yellow to black tongue). There are occasional reports of diarrhea with use of these substances."

Aside from the odd reactions stated above, it is very safe product. I suggest that you speak with your doctor before taking Chlorophyll or Chlorophyllin supplements.

Answer 2

chlorophyll is in the green part of all plants, so on its own is not dangerous. Any food or supliment that your body isn't used to may cause an upset tummy, but unless allergic it shouldn't take long to adjust. Parsley has lots of chlorophyll and is known to "sweeten" the breath and reduce body odour. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

It isn't dangerous. You can get bottles of the tablets in health food stores, just take as directed on the bottle. As far as I know, it wouldn't cause an upset stomach. I'd suggest drinking a full glass of water with it each time you take it.
