One teaspoon of dark green liquid in a glass of water, and you suddenly have a drink that looks like pond water. That's what liquid chlorophyll is like. NOW Foods makes this version with copper sodium chlorophyllin and a touch of peppermint oil, so it tastes fresh instead of grassy. Per teaspoon (5 ml) you get 100mg of chlorophyll and 4mg of copper. The 473 ml bottle is good for over 90 servings.
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants, also known as chlorophyll. Plants use it to capture sunlight and thereby make sugar from water and carbon dioxide, the process we call photosynthesis. Every green vegetable you eat, from spinach to parsley, contains chlorophyll. What many people do not know: the structure of chlorophyll closely resembles that of heme, the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen. The big difference is the metal in the middle. In heme, that is iron; in chlorophyll, it is magnesium.
Natural chlorophyll from plants dissolves in fat and quickly breaks down under the influence of light, heat, and acid. That makes it unsuitable for a liquid supplement on a water base. That is why NOW Foods uses copper sodium chlorophyllin (a water-soluble, semi-synthetic variant of chlorophyll). When making it, the magnesium in the middle is replaced by copper, and part of the molecule is converted so that it forms a salt with sodium. The result is more stable and simply dissolves in water. Many people wonder if that is still 'real' chlorophyll. In short: it is a derivative made from the natural pigment, with the same basic structure but a different metal at its core. This is also the form that is used in almost all chlorophyll drops and liquids.
Due to that copper core, a serving of chlorophyll also provides 4mg of copper, 400% of the reference intake. Copper is a trace element that your body needs in small amounts. Copper contributes to normal iron transport in the body and to a normal energy-providing metabolism. Copper contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the normal function of the nervous system. In addition, copper contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage and to the maintenance of normal connective tissues. And copper contributes to the normal pigmentation of the hair and to the normal pigmentation of the skin. Good to know: because there is already 4mg of copper in it, it is better not to combine this with other supplements that contain a lot of copper.
Shake the bottle well and mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) into a large glass of water or juice, about 240 ml. Never take it undiluted, because the pigment can temporarily turn your teeth green. It can also leave stains on clothes and countertops, so work carefully. Your urine or stool may turn green. That is harmless and is caused by the pigment. Store the bottle in the refrigerator after opening. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult your doctor first.
For those who like to drink a green drink in the morning, without a blender and without a bitter aftertaste, this liquid chlorophyll with peppermint is an easy option.
A little peppermint oil makes the flavor fresh. This way, you can easily drink it with water or juice.
Each 5 ml serving provides 100mg of copper chlorophyllin, the water-soluble and stable form of chlorophyll.
The copper core of chlorophyllin provides 400% of the RI for copper. Copper contributes to normal iron transport in the body.
A 473 ml bottle contains 94 5 ml teaspoons. At 1 serving per day, it will last you over three months.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. No EU health claims are permitted for chlorophyll itself. The copper contained in this form does, however, contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the normal function of the immune system.
Shake the bottle and mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) into approximately 240 ml of water or juice. Never drink it undiluted, as it can discolor your teeth. Store the bottle in the refrigerator after opening.
Yes, that is normal and harmless. Some of the green pigment passes through unchanged. Your urine may also take on a green tint.
This variant contains peppermint oil, giving it a predominantly fresh taste. Diluted in a large glass of water or juice, you will mainly taste the mint, not the grass.
Because sodium copper chlorophyllin is made by replacing the magnesium in the chlorophyll molecule with copper. This makes it stable and water-soluble. As a result, every teaspoon also provides 4 mg of copper.
Chlorophyll is the natural, fat-soluble pigment with magnesium at its center. Chlorophyllin is a water-soluble derivative in which copper replaces the magnesium. Chlorophyllin is more stable and is therefore the form used in liquid supplements.
