Chlorophyll and its health benefits

Chlorophyll is a molecule that gives plants their green color and is responsible for one of the most important processes on the planet - the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of converting the energy of sunlight into organic matter using also carbon dioxide and water. Thus, only through photosynthesis there is life on the planet, and; therefore, chlorophyll is one of the most important substances on earth.

Blood purification and detoxification

Chlorophyll can be compared with a detergent for your blood, due to the fact that chlorophyll is constantly increasing the number of red blood cells that carry oxygen through your body. In the presence of sufficient oxygen, the bacteria cannot survive, and, therefore, it increases immunity and resistance to disease.

Disease-promoting anaerobic microorganisms are unable to live and flourish in the presence of oxygen. It is equally known that disease can’t thrive in an alkaline environment either. This is where chlorophyll helps us best; it is equally a powerful oxygenator and helps alkalize the blood; it thus helps the body fight off disease. All these benefits have direct effects on strengthening your immune system and enhancing overall energy levels and wellbeing.
