Chlorophyll
is recognized as one of nature's riches sources of important
nutrients where it's rich green pigment is vital for the body's
rapid assimilation of amino acids and for the synthesis of
enzymes which is found rich in Alfafa plants.
A few years ago "Geen Power"
foods as Chlorella, barley grass powder, and wheat grass juice
were a small (often hard to find) category of food supplements
that were largely ignored in favor of individual vitamins
and compound vitamin supplements.
Today, however, things have
changed. These green food concentrates are recognized as one
of nature's richest natural sources of important nutrients.
What's more, becuase they require only a minimum of processing,
they retain the full spectrum of trace minerals and micro-nutrients
generally found only in whole foods, a major plus over many
vitamin supplements. |

It is chlorophyll, of course, which gives
these products that dark, rich, green color. The remarkable substance
that is both product and producer (along with sunlight) of the process
of photosynthesis, by which, directly or indirectly, all life on
earth lives and breathes.
Chlorophyll is often referred to as the "blood"
of plants, and this complex molecule certainly acts as a definitive
example of the shared origins of life on our planet. Chlorophyll
is almost identical to another complex molecule totally essential
to higher life forms: hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains an iron atom
at its center, and chlorophyll has a magnesium atom. Numerous animal
tests have shown, however, that chlorophyll can be converted into
hemoglobin, and it is thus a tremendous builder of a healthy blood
supply.
The famous naturopathic practitioner,
Dr. Bernard Jensen, listed over twenty major benefits of high chlorophyll
comsumption. These include its ability to remove toxic pesticide
and drug residues, as well as to bind with radioactive materials
and remove them from the body.
Chlorophyll is a ubiquitous green
plant pigment that supports the process of converting solar energy
and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. Sodium copper
chlorophyllin is stabilized chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is a network of
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogenand oxygen atoms surrounding a single
magnesium atom. (The blood pigment hemoglobin has an iron atom in
place of the magnesium.)
