Chlorophyll has been used to aid in the removal of various toxins via the liver, and it remains a key compound for improving the function of essential detoxification pathways. Chlorophyll-a may reduce the mortality rate of experimental pancreatitis. Additional research is needed in this area.Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to chlorophyll or any of its metabolites. Use cautiously with photosensitivity, compromised liver function, diabetes, or gastrointestinal conditions or obstructions. Use cautiously if taking immunosuppressants or anti-diabetes agents. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
