ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE USES of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Chlorophyllins are the active ingredient in a number of internally taken preparations intended to reduce odors associated with incontinence, colostomies, and similar procedures, as well as body odor in general.
Also in recent years, Chlorophyllins have been used as a home remedy to treat acne and skin conditions such as pimples or blackheads, thanks to its antimicrobial effect.
Chlorophyllins are also available as a topical preparation, purportedly useful for both treatment and odor control of wounds, injuries, radiation burns, and other skin conditions.

The origins of these unsubstantiated medical claims were findings from research by F. Howard Westcott in the 1940s that it was an odor blocker.
The commercial value of this attribute in advertising led to many companies creating brands containing the compound in 1950–1953 in particular.
Chlorophyllins were used as a marketing tool to promote toothpaste, sanitary towels, soap and other products.

However, it was soon determined that the hype surrounding chlorophyll or Chlorophyllins was not warranted and the underlying research may even have been a hoax.
As a result, brands rapidly discontinued their use.
In the 2020s, Chlorophyllins again became the subject of unsubstantiated medical claims, as social media influencers promoted its use in the form of "chlorophyll water", for example.

CHARACTERISTICS of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Chlorophyllins are characterized by their bright green color, high water solubility, and improved stability compared to natural chlorophyll.
Chlorophyllins are anionic in nature due to the presence of carboxylate and sulfonate-like groups, which enhances their dispersion in aqueous systems.
Chlorophyllins have good compatibility with various formulations and can bind to certain organic molecules and surfaces.
Chlorophyllins' ability to absorb light and act as mild antioxidants also contributes to their functional properties.

KEY ASPECTS OF CHLOROPHYLLINS:
*Source & Production:
Derived from natural chlorophyll found in green plants like spinach or grass, which is then processed to improve water solubility and color stability.

*Usage:
Used in foods, supplements, and topically for odor control in cases of incontinence or colostomies.

*Health Benefits/Uses:
Studies suggest Chlorophyllins may exhibit antimutagenic and antioxidant effects, potentially acting as a therapeutic agent for cancer and diabetes, though more research is required.

*Difference from Chlorophyll:
Chlorophyll is oil-soluble, whereas Chlorophyllins are water-soluble, allowing it to be used in a wider range of food products like hard candies and beverages

BENEFITS of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
One of the main benefits of chlorophyllins is their water solubility, which allows easy incorporation into aqueous formulations.
Chlorophyllins provide a stable green color that is more resistant to degradation than natural chlorophyll.
Chlorophyllins are also known for their deodorizing properties, as they can bind to odor-causing compounds.
Some studies suggest antioxidant activity and potential protective effects against certain toxins, although these effects depend on dosage and context.
Chlorophyllins' relatively low toxicity and natural origin (derived from plant chlorophyll) make them attractive for use in food and health-related applications.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Chlorophyllins typically appear as dark green to blue-green powders or granules.
Chlorophyllins are highly soluble in water, forming green solutions, unlike natural chlorophyll which is fat-soluble.
This enhanced solubility is due to the presence of ionic groups such as sodium salts.

Chlorophyllins exhibit strong absorption in the visible region, particularly in the red and blue wavelengths, which gives them their characteristic green color.
Chlorophyllins may also show fluorescence under certain conditions.
Chemically, Chlorophyllins are more stable than natural chlorophyll, especially in the presence of light, heat, and oxygen.
However, Chlorophyllins can still degrade under strongly acidic conditions or prolonged exposure to intense light.

The copper complexes are particularly stable and resistant to oxidation compared to magnesium-based chlorophyll.
The pH of chlorophyllin solutions is usually neutral to slightly alkaline.
Chlorophyllins are sensitive to very low pH, where color may shift from green to olive or brown due to structural changes.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Chlorophyllins are water-soluble.
In vitro, Chlorophyllins bind to some environmental mutagens such as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons benzo[a]pyrene and dibenzo[a,i]pyrene.
Chlorophyllins also bind to acridine orange.

BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Chlorophyllins have been validated to exhibit ameliorative effects against food additive induced genotoxicity (elevating the expression of DNA repair proteins p53 and PARP) and mitochondrial dysfunction and may be used as a therapeutic tool for the management of diseases like diabetes and cancer.
Chlorophyllins have been shown to modulate several protein functions including the expression of cytokine proteins NFkβ and IFNγ.

USES & EFFECTIVENESS of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Possibly Ineffective for
Urinary odor.
Research shows that taking Chlorophyllins by mouth doesn't reduce urinary odor in older adults who have a urinary catheter.
There is interest in using Chlorophyllins for a number of other purposes, but there isn't enough reliable information to say whether it might be helpful.

Sodium copper Chlorophyllins are a green to black powder prepared from chlorophyll by saponification and replacement of magnesium by copper.
Chlorophyll is solvent extracted from alfalfa (Medicago sativa).
Chlorophylls, copper complexes are obtained by addition of an organic salt of copper to the substance obtained by solvent extraction of grass, lucerne, nettle and other plant material.
The product contains other pigments such as carotenoids as well as fats and waxes derived from the source material; the principal coloring matters are the copper phaeophytins.

For chlorophyllins, copper complexes sodium and potassium salts, the alkali salts of Copper chlorophyllins are obtained by the addition of copper to the product obtained by the saponification of a solvent extraction of grass, lucerne, nettle and other plant material.

TRADITIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC VALIDATION of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Chlorophyllins, a water-soluble derivative of natural chlorophyll, has been widely used as a dietary supplement and food additive for decades.
Historically, Chlorophyllins' use dates back to the mid-20th century, when it was popularized for its potential deodorizing effects and as a means to support general health.
Early clinical observations suggested benefits in neutralizing certain bodily odors and promoting wound healing, leading to Chlorophyllins' incorporation in medical and nutritional products.

Scientifically, Chlorophyllins exhibit antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from oxidative stress.
Some in vitro and animal studies indicate that Chlorophyllins may bind to potential carcinogens and reduce their absorption in the gut.

For instance, research published in "Cancer Prevention Research" (2012) demonstrated that Chlorophyllins supplementation reduced aflatoxin biomarkers in humans, suggesting it may help in lowering the risk of toxin-induced cancers.
Additionally, Chlorophyllins' anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic activities have been observed in experimental settings.

Nevertheless, Chlorophyllins is considered safe for most people when used as directed, and its role as a natural, plant-based ingredient continues to attract interest for functional foods and supplements.
Overall, Chlorophyllins represent a positive contribution to nutritional science, with emerging evidence supporting its beneficial effects and a strong safety profile, though ongoing research is needed to clarify its mechanisms and broader applications.

CHLOROPHYLLINS: IS IT EFFECTIVE ODOR CONTROL?
Odor is what informs those around you that you have a problem with your bowel or bladder control.
It is what forces the incontinent person to become isolated and avoid others.
This was also the case with patients with colostomies before good stoma appliances became available.
Since the output could not be directly controlled, attention was turned to odor control.

Addressing the Odor
There were several ways in which odor was addressed, including changes in diet and medication.
The medications used were charcoal in various forms, which is still used commonly today, and a product that is seldom seen today, chlorophyllin.

With the appearance of enterostomal therapy as a nursing specialty and the subsequent rapid improvement in stoma care and supplies, Chlorophyllins have all but been forgotten.
Should it have been?

Chlorophyllins are very closely related to chlorophyll, the green pigment found in most plants that converts the sun’s energy and carbon dioxide to sugar and oxygen.
Without chlorophyll there would be no oxygen, no food, no people and no incontinence.
By adding sodium and copper to chlorophyll the pigment can be dissolved in water and becomes chlorophyllin.

Chlorophyllins have interested scientists and physicians for many years.
Chlorophyllins have been used to cleanse and accelerate the healing of open wounds, decrease the inflammation in radiation burns and decrease odor in patients with colostomies or who were incontinent of urine or feces.

Yet Chlorophyllins have been all but forgotten by physicians in this country, but not in the former Soviet Union, where annually clinical studies are still published concerning the effectiveness of Chlorophyllins in the treatment of a number of disorders.
Since many of these publications are not available in the United States, only Western literature can be evaluated for the purpose of determining the real benefits of chlorophyllin.

In this Western literature, there are older reports as described above that are purely descriptive.
For instance, some describe several patients who apparently derived symptomatic relief using Chlorophyllins to decrease urine odor due to incontinence, or decrease skin pain that resulted from radiation burns after pelvic radiotherapy.

Objective measures of improvement were seldom described and the observers of alleged improvement, though unintentionally, were subject to several biases in forming their observations.
Strict observance of the scientific method, though tedious and arcane, would have assisted all interested readers of this article in judging whether Chlorophyllins would truly help them.

In the absence of such needed scientific proof, it can at least be said that chlorophyllin, taken as a tablet, has been extensively used in the past to treat fecal and urinary odor.
In cream form it has been used for a number of wound-related problems including non-healing or severely irritated radiation therapy burns.
Chlorophyllins might be effective in both forms.

The color green will pop up in all sorts of strange places as a result of such therapy, and that may be why this drug is not seen as much anymore.
Urine and feces will turn green.
The green pigment in clothing is extremely hard to wash out (like grass stains).
Aside from that, there seems little, if any, evidence that Chlorophyllins can cause any harm.

So Chlorophyllins may be worth considering.
It is certainly a drug that needs to be rigorously investigated by the medical community for all of its proposed benefits.

HISTORY of CHLOROPHYLLINS:
Chlorophyllins, a water-soluble derivative of chlorophyll, have a rich history of use in medicinal and nutritional products due to their remarkable health-promoting properties.
Since the mid-20th century, researchers and practitioners have recognized Chlorophyllins for their deodorizing and detoxifying effects.

Early studies in the 1940s and 1950s demonstrated its ability to neutralize body and wound odors, leading to Chlorophyllins'
incorporation in remedies for halitosis, foot odor, and even wound care.
Their gentle yet effective nature made Chlorophyllins a popular ingredient in oral care products and topical ointments for promoting healing and cleanliness.

Beyond its deodorizing functions, Chlorophyllins have been utilized for their potential to support healthy digestion and liver function.
Traditionally, Chlorophyllins have been included in herbal remedies aimed at cleansing the gastrointestinal tract and enhancing the elimination of toxins.

Herbalists have valued Chlorophyllins for its gentle action and often combined it with other botanicals like alfalfa, parsley, and nettle to create synergistic blends that promote vitality and internal balance.
In such combinations, Chlorophyllins' antioxidant and alkalizing properties complement the nutrient profiles and phytochemicals of companion herbs, resulting in holistic formulations that support overall wellness.

Today, Chlorophyllins continues to be appreciated for its contributions to modern herbalism and nutritional science.
Chlorophyllins' versatility, safety, and broad range of beneficial effects—such as supporting detoxification, freshening breath, and enhancing the efficacy of herbal blends—underscore its enduring value as a natural ingredient in health-promoting formulas.
