    TIL that chlorophyll is a supplement. Can’t say I’ve ever thought of it that way

      I don’t even know what it is for. I guess that it is a good sign since it means any doctor never thought I need it.

        Looks like it’s meant to be an antioxidant.

        Did some looking up and apparently natural chlorophyll can be an antioxidant (when not in light), but it doesn’t seem to be a very potent one.

        Considering similar fads have existed with chlorophyll, scepticism is advised

        The chlorophyll I get is mostly wheatgrass juice. It’s really good at eliminating fish, onion, or garlic breath/burps. Basically anything sulphur-y. It’s nasty as hell, tastes like dirt, but one small shot gets rid of whatever is bugging me and I think it’s totally worth it.

        No idea if it has “health benefits” besides y’know…consuming greens.
