Re:Re: chorophyll for anemia

[Guest guest]

The

tricky part of taking a chlorophyll supplement is knowing the source of the

chlorophyll. Most come from seaweed, which is gelatinous polysaccharide

in structure, making it off-limits while on SCD. I would guess that some

sources are algae or grains like alfalfa. I haven’t looked at

these chemical structures, but I would suspect they are also polysaccharide.

I suppose there is a chance that the extraction process might break the

polysaccharide chains down into the monosaccharide components, but I would want

to know someone has tested it to be certain.

I

would choose a whole food source of chlorophyll from the list of permitted SCD

foods before trying a supplement….

Hi

there. someone just jogged my memory and reminded me of something I used to

take religiously - chorophyll and I was never anemic. I always had a high iron

count.

I looked it up on the SCD list and didn't find any illegals in it, so I

wondered why people don't talk about it more often on this list. I wished I

would have remembered years ago when my CD became severe

and I needed transfusions.

I trust Marilyn will correct me if I am wrong about SCD compliance.
