It's the NOW brand of liquid chlorophyll. It is sodium copper chlorophyll - a stabilized, water-soluble form of natural chlorophyll extracted from alfalfa leaves. Contains vegetable glycerin, de-ionized water, peppermint oil and potassium sorbate. Contains no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg or artificial flavors/colors.

Just wondering if anyone knows if chlorophyll is legal. I checked BTVC website and it's not listed. I'd like to add it to yogurt smoothies.What product are you wanting to use? CHLOROPHYLL, the green pigment in most leafy greens and other green plants, is legal. But a "chlorophyll supplement" probably is not.

Darlene,

That sounds like it would be legal, but do you have a link so I can take

a look?

Alfalfa

is a grass/grain, and a polysaccharide. Which means that a supplement

made from this is very likely something you should avoid while on SCD. Unless

we test the particular supplement you’re using, to determine whether the

chlorophyll structures are still polysaccharide, it is best to avoid it or risk

long-term damage or a healing delay. Then there’s the additives or

non-active ingredients that may be included in the supplement, which may or may

not be legal.

I’d

get chlorophyll from all of the whole food sources permitted on SCD.

There are plenty of them available to us. If you feel you are dealing

with nutrient absorption issues, you can try taking a digestive enzyme until

you’ve reached healing.

So

yes, I’d suggest you stop using chlorophyll supplements. Too risky.

I was

reading something on a thread about chlorophyll supplementation.

Sorry, I can't figure out what thread that was! then I happened to be

checking the legal/illegal list on

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_d-n.htm

and noticed that " liquid Clorychlorophyll " is illegal. I've never

heard of

Clorychlorophyll, but google wants to parse that as chlorophyll, and so

would I.

I'm taking an alfalfa based liquid chlorophyll supplement now. Should I

desist?

Thanks!
