This plant pigment contains detoxifying properties that seek to support a healthy digestive system and may help maintain normal enzymes in a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Inside the body, chlorophyll binds with protein, which is then synthesized to a protochlorophyllide. This new compound seeks to support normal energy transmission in cells, cellular development, and the normal detoxification process.
Detoxification is a normal function in a healthy body, often enacted by the liver. The liver plays a key role in metabolism of nutrients, normal clotting factors, and red blood cell production. The liver also breaks down chemicals in the body, a process that results in bile production that carries foreign or internal microorganism from the body during healthy urination and digestive processes.
The buildup of chemicals that are not passed by the liver may interfere with vitamin and mineral synthesis, foul odors, and more. The liver seeks to remove these compounds as part of the normal detoxification process.
