Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll (also chlorophyl) is a green pigment found in almost all plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Its name is derived from the Greek words chloros (“green”) and phyllon (“leaf”). Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical inphotosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light. Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In these complexes, chlorophyll serves two primary functions. The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll (up to several hundred molecules per photosystem) is to absorb light and transfer that light energy by resonance energy transfer to a specific chlorophyll pair in the reaction center of the photosystems.
Chlorophyllin refers to any one of a group of closely related water-soluble salts that are semi-synthetic derivatives of chlorophyll, differing in the identity of the cations associated with the anion. Its most common form is a sodium/copper derivative used as a food additive and in alternative medicine. Chlorophyllin is present in green leafy vegetables and reaching levels as high as 5.7% in spinach. Because chlorophyll does not dissolve in water, food sources of chlorophyll do not bind to mutagenic substances to a significant extent. Chlorophyllin, being water-soluble, can significantly bind to environmental mutagens such as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons benzo[a]pyrene and dibenzo{a,i}pyrene. Chlorophyllin binds to mutagens twenty times better than resveratrol and thousands of times better than xanthines, thereby making chlorophyllin effective for cancer prevention because it can block carcinogens from entering the gastrointestinal tract and digestive system thereby preventing such carcinogens from reaching our body’s tissues. Chlorophyllin is the active ingredient in a number of internally-taken preparations intended to reduce odors associated with incontinence, colostomies and similar procedures, as well as body odor in general. It is also available as a topical preparation, purportedly useful for both treatment and odor control of wounds, injuries, and other skin conditions – notably radiation burns.
Chlorophyll helps neutralize the pollutants that attack our bodies, delivers high doses of magnesium, helps assist in blood oxygenation and is useful in the assimilation of calcium and other heavy minerals. Chlorophyll is also a great odor reducer for the body. So instead of applying deodorant, you could ingest chlorophyll in a tasty lemongrass mint flavor with the breakthrough digestive system cleansing suspended gel product named GRN by the leader in health technology, Agel Enterprises. The GRN product does so much for the digestive system and therefore the immune system.
