NOW Foods Chlorophyll 100 mg (90 Veg Capsules) – Pure Internal Deodorant & Cellular Cleanser

Chlorophyll is the vibrant green pigment that plants use to transform sunlight into life-giving energy during photosynthesis. When taken as a dietary supplement, this natural plant compound acts as a powerful internal cleanser and whole-body freshener. NOW Chlorophyll 100 mg delivers a concentrated, water-soluble form of chlorophyll called sodium copper chlorophyllin, paired with non-GMO alfalfa powder to support digestive comfort, neutralize body odors from within, and provide daily free radical defense.

Instead of simply masking breath and perspiration odors with topical sprays or mints, sodium copper chlorophyllin travels straight through your digestive tract to target volatile odor compounds before they reach the bloodstream or skin surface. Each vegetarian capsule offers an easy, mess-free alternative to dark green liquid drops that can stain teeth, clothing, and countertops.

How It Works: The Science of Internal Odor Control & Cellular Protection

Understanding how chlorophyll works inside your body makes it clear why it has remained one of the natural health industry’s most enduring wellness staples. In its raw botanical state, natural chlorophyll is fat-soluble and fragile; stomach acids readily degrade it before it can provide systemic support. NOW utilizes sodium copper chlorophyllin, a stabilized, water-soluble extract where the core magnesium atom is replaced with copper. This biochemical refinement allows the compound to navigate your stomach intact and disperse thoroughly throughout the gut lumen.

1. The "Molecular Sponge" Deodorizing Effect

During normal digestion, gut bacteria ferment proteins and food residues, generating volatile organic sulfur compounds (such as hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol), alongside foul-smelling nitrogen metabolites like indole and skatole. When these bypass digestive breakdown, they absorb into circulation and escape through breath, sweat glands, and bowel movements. Sodium copper chlorophyllin acts like a molecular sponge: its planar ring structure binds directly to these volatile odor molecules in the intestine, converting them into odorless complexes eliminated naturally through the colon. Landmark clinical trials published in Gastroenterology (Siegel, 1960) and The American Journal of Surgery (Golden & Blank, 1958) documented this deodorizing mechanism in postoperative colostomy patients, confirming oral chlorophyllin’s ability to control severe digestive and stomal odors safely.

2. Toxin Interception & Chemoprotective Binding

In addition to neutralizing odor molecules, chlorophyllin functions as an "interceptor molecule" against flat, planar environmental toxins and dietary carcinogens, including heterocyclic amines from well-done meats and aflatoxins from improperly stored grains. A landmark randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) (Egner et al., 2001; 98(25):14601-14606) demonstrated that taking 100 mg of sodium copper chlorophyllin three times daily before meals reduced urinary biomarkers of aflatoxin-DNA damage by 55% compared to placebo. By physically trapping toxic planar compounds inside the gut cavity via non-covalent hydrophobic bonding, chlorophyllin prevents harmful substances from permeating intestinal membranes and burdening the liver.

3. Free Radical Quenching & Tissue Defense

Metabolic stress and processed diets trigger the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in digestive tissues. Research documented by the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University shows that chlorophyllin is a potent antioxidant capable of directly neutralizing reactive oxygen radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation. This preserves the delicate endothelial lining of your intestinal tract, fostering healthy gut integrity and regular gastrointestinal elimination.

• ✓ Full Pathogen Microbiological Testing: Every batch undergoes bio-burden testing in dedicated microbiology labs compliant with USP <2021> and <2022> methods, certifying zero presence of harmful pathogens including Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus, alongside strict caps on yeast, mold, and total aerobic plates.
• ✓ Certified cGMP Cleanroom Production: Manufactured in Bloomingdale, Illinois, in facilities independently audited and certified by the Natural Products Association (NPA A-rating) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL cGMP Certified), ensuring complete lot tracking and environmental air quality control.

Usage Instructions, Harmless Effects, & Important Medical Precautions

Suggested Dosage: Take 1 veg capsule 1 to 3 times daily, preferably with a meal and an 8-ounce glass of water. If you are brand new to chlorophyll supplementation, start by taking 1 capsule per day for the first week to let your digestion adjust before moving to 2 or 3 daily servings.

Harmless Visual Effects

Because sodium copper chlorophyllin is an intense dark green pigment, you may notice a distinctive green discoloration of your bowel movements or a slight greenish hue in urine. This is completely harmless, expected, and simply indicates that the active pigment is traveling through and cleansing your gastrointestinal tract.

Medical Precautions & Clinical Interactions

• ✓ Fecal Occult Blood Test Interference: Oral chlorophyllin can cause false-positive readings on guaiac card tests (such as Hemoccult) used in colorectal health screenings. Stop taking chlorophyllin at least 72 hours prior to scheduled stool screening exams.
• ✓ Autoimmune Conditions: This product contains natural alfalfa leaf powder. Individuals diagnosed with autoimmune conditions, particularly Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), should consult their physician before use, as compounds in alfalfa may stimulate immune pathways.
• ✓ Anticoagulant Medications: Alfalfa naturally contains trace vitamin K. If you are taking warfarin (Coumadin) or other prescription blood thinners, consult your healthcare provider prior to starting regular supplementation.
• ✓ Pregnancy & Nursing: Supplemental safety in pregnant or lactating mothers has not been clinically evaluated; avoid use unless explicitly directed by your OB/GYN.
