Liquid chlorophyll – an effective detox agent or a dubious TikTok hype trend?

A jar of dietary supplements costs only 300 rubles, but, according to experts, it works wonders for the whole thousand with the body. After a week of taking a liquid supplement, those who have tried the remedy say that they begin to feel better, their immunity is strengthened, and their hair thickens. But is it? And is the uncontrolled intake of chlorophyll generally safe?

In TikTok, in the morning, everyone is now drinking not coffee, but chlorophyll. Then, of course, they show before and after photos. Like, here I am two weeks ago with an extinct look and a “sad” ponytail of hair, but now: the skin is like a peach, even a couple of extra pounds are gone. Well, how can you not believe in the magic of chlorophyll after that ?!

It turns out that tiktokers did not discover America with the miraculous properties of dietary supplements. The Parisian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli spoke about the fact that pigment is a real lifeline for our body. The designer added a green substance to perfume and believed that it could help regenerate the skin. Also, the “green rescuer” quickly healed wounds, fought well against unpleasant odors. A little later, another “trick” of chlorophyll was revealed – detoxification of the body. Scientists have found that it stimulates the production of red blood cells – red blood cells. The hemoglobin in red blood cells is responsible for carrying oxygen to all cells, increasing hemoglobin levels and providing oxygen. Oxygen, in turn, helps remove toxins from the body. In addition, chlorophyll easily binds heavy metal toxins and removes them from the body.

Green dietary supplement and excellent fat burner. He is good “friends” with fats: breaks them down and converts them into energy. Phytanic acid, which contains chlorophyll, is responsible for this pleasant property. Other active substances – thylakoids, suppress the production of the hormone of hunger – ghrelin, this is the one thanks to which we feel a feeling of fullness after lunch.

And for dessert, chlorophyll contains magnesium and vitamin K – they strengthen the heart muscle, preventing their destruction.

And last but not least, chlorophyll is not expensive. At the pharmacy, you can buy capsules, powder and liquid at prices ranging from 300 to 2000 rubles. So everyone rushed to buy.

But at the same time, doctors do not advise to use the supplement uncontrollably. And it is better to generally dilute the content of the bubble in a ratio of 1: 3. The fact is, the concentration of chlorophyll can cause serious stomach problems. Up to gastritis and ulcers.

“Chlorophyll supplements are for healthy people only. If you have at least some health problems, it is better to refuse to use the drug, ”says doctor Tatyana Ayupova.
