Liquid chlorophyll: What to know before buying
TikTokers are infatuated by chlorophyll. Here’s what the plant pigment can actually do for you and your health, and where to find it.
Amy Shapiro, a registered dietitian and the founder of Real Nutrition in New York City, likes the Now Food Liquid Chlorophyll (currently out of stock) and the Sunfood Chlorella Tablets. (Chlorella is a green freshwater algae rich with chlorophyll.) “Both are easily incorporated into your meal plan and are loaded with nutrition — either chew a few up, add drops to your water or blend into smoothies,” she said.
Many of the experts we consulted said they love wheatgrass shots as a daily chlorophyll supplement. This one from KOR Shots contains wheatgrass and spirulina (both strong sources of chlorophyll), plus pineapple, lemon and ginger juice for added flavor and nutrients. The shots boast a 4.7-star rating from 25 Amazon customers.
For an on-the-go option, Kelly Bay, a functional medicine practitioner, clinical nutrition specialist and certified dietician nutritionist, said she’s a “big fan” of Chlorophyll Water. In addition to chlorophyll, the drink also contains vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin C and vitamin D. The antioxidant-rich water can be purchased either in a 12-pack or a 6-pack.
