Chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of vegetables. It is, in fact, the green pigment present in all plants and has the purpose of absorbing sunlight and triggering chlorophyll photosynthesis, a process by which the plant produces oxygen. Chlorophyll is essential for the survival of plants, but it is also beneficial for our body. Its chemical composition resembles that of hemoglobin. In chlorophyll, the iron molecule present in hemoglobin is replaced by a magnesium molecule. It is an anti-anemic and healing substance,  purifies the blood and keeps cholesterol under control. The intake of chlorophyll is useful in the intestine, especially for its  ability to rebalance the bacterial flora. Chlorophyll helps our body in elimination of toxins thus favoring purification. It counteracts the formation of free radicals and has anti-aging properties. Improves circulation and is considered for this a valid aid in the prevention of varicose veins, stimulates metabolism, It helps our body to make the best use of energy and resist stress. Unlike caffeine, chlorophyll is not an exciting substance. It is useful as tonic and ” deodorant”  both topical and internal. Chlorophyll is considered beneficial in case of anemia. It helps red blood cells to better transport iron to the organs. Facilitates the absorption of calcium, it can give relief to those suffering from gastritis, colitis or ulcers. Protects muscles from damage caused by contractions and soreness. It improves the work of the heart and prevents hypertension. Thanks to the presence of substances such as GABA (Gamma amino butyric acid) and folic acid it would also offer benefits for the nervous system, as it uses these two components for the production of neurotransmitters.
