Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
A semi-synthetic, water-soluble derivative made by treating natural chlorophyll (the green pigment in plants) with copper and alkali.
Why it’s used
Taken by some as an internal deodorant or general antioxidant, and studied in specific research contexts unrelated to typical supplement marketing.
What the evidence says
A notable line of research examined chlorophyllin's ability to bind dietary aflatoxins (a food contaminant) in populations with high dietary exposure, showing reduced aflatoxin biomarkers in that specific context. This is a narrow finding and does not establish general health benefits for chlorophyllin as a standard dietary supplement ingredient.
Context
The aflatoxin-binding studies used specific gram-range doses in populations with unusually high aflatoxin exposure from diet, a context very different from typical over-the-counter supplement use.
