Uses and Importance of Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is probably one of the most important/vital substances to the existence of earth as we know it; because of chlorophyll's ability to take in carbon dioxide and put out a by-product of oxygen life for most animals can go on. All of life that uses respiration to take in oxygen to survive, puts out carbon dioxide as a by-product (here is the equation of photosynthesis (CO₂ + H₂O --> (CH₂O) + O₂). Therefore there is a balance between the oxygen we take in and the carbon dioxide we put out; and how much carbon dioxide plants take in and how much oxygen they put out. Unless of course, if we keep diminishing forests at the current rate we are, their might be unbalance and all of life that uses respiration to survive will die off until the amounts of carbon dioxide : oxygen even out again.

Chlorophyll is also taken in by humans whenever we eat "our greens" like green beans, okra, peas...etc...Chlorophyll when eaten/taken in builds the neuropeptides in our brains for more creativity in thought and it acts somewhat as a natural anti-depressant. Research shows the more leafy greens you eat (which contains chlorophyll), the longer you live. Chlorophyll is used to clean sewage waste because it is able to clean out diseased tissue, wastes, ,parasite and bacteria.

The tail of the chlorophyll molecule is hydrophobic, meaning it hates/stay away from water; and it digs into the hydrocarbons that are stuck to cell walls inside your body. These hydrocarbons include pesticides, old drugs, food flavorings...etc...Chlorophyll also removes cholesterol and saturated fat deposits from arteries. Therefore having chlorophyll in your diet can be compared to washing/cleaning out your insides.

The liver is supposed to get all the synthetic chemicals out of your bloodstream but sometimes it can't handle it all and that's when chlorophyll comes in. Chlorophyll can lighten the load on the liver by helping get rid of synthetic chemicals.

The bright/intense green color of chlorophyll a (Natural Green 3) is used for a commercial dye in products such as soaps and other cosmetics. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll shows that chlorophyll absorbs colors like red, blue, violet but it does not absorb green. Therefore the green is reflected and that is how we see the color.

Here is some liquid Chlorophyll for sale. It is supposed to improve the oxygenation of your blood and it should help cleanse the inside of your body. Liquid chlorophyll is also a natural internal deodorizer. In fact it is common in mouth wash, breath fresheners and deodorant.

"An optoelectronic instrument, known as a plant fluorescence sensor, is being developed for use as a working tool in agricultural settings. This instrument is a remote, passive monitor that provides a means of discerning plant stress at very early stages. With sufficient warning, the user could provide timely applications of fertilizer, water, and/or pesticide to achieve maximum crop yield at minimum cost."
