What is Chlorophyllin?

Chlorophyllin is made from chlorophyll, a green pigment that is present in plants.

Chlorophyllin has been used in alternative medicine as an aid to reduce the odor of urine or feces (bowel movements).

Chlorophyllin is intended to improve the quality of life in people who have fecal incontinence due to spinal cord injury, bowel cancer, psychotic disorder, terminal illness, or other disorders. Chlorophyllin is also used by people who have had a colostomy or ileostomy.

Not all uses for chlorophyllin have been approved by the FDA. Chlorophyllin should not be used in place of medication prescribed for you by your doctor.

Chlorophyllin is often sold as an herbal supplement. There are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for many herbal compounds and some marketed supplements have been found to be contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination.

Chlorophyllin may also be used for purposes not listed in this product guide.

Warnings

Follow all directions on the product label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

How should I take Chlorophyllin

When considering the use of herbal supplements, seek the advice of your doctor. You may also consider consulting a practitioner who is trained in the use of herbal/health supplements.

If you choose to use chlorophyllin, use it as directed on the package or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare provider. Do not use more of this product than is recommended on the label.

It may take up to several days of use before chlorophyllin reaches its full effect. Keep using as directed and tell your doctor if you do not notice any difference.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
