It was all the rage in  the 50's, in everything from toothpaste to little green M&M size tablets that were supposed to prevent body odor. Haven't seen it in years.

More than likely its still there.  The dental companies have moved on to a bigger seller......whitening, because we all have to have extremely white teeth now or your not pretty.

I forgot about it too...it is supposed to be good for you so I wonder why it went away.

i dont remember it being a "rage," but then i was born in the 60s.

you can still buy chlorophyll tablets in the vitamin aisle or in natural food stores.

"Chlorophyll benefits include helping fight cancer, improving liver detoxification, speeding up wound healing, improving digestion and weight control, and protecting skin health. The primary reason chlorophyll is considered a superfood is because of its strong antioxidant and anticancer effects."

@sunshine45 yes I just read that article from dr. Axe but he says it is an expensive supplement so that is probably the reason it is no longer added to products.

it doesnt seem expensive.....

$2.99 for 100 tablets that are 3mg each.

$7.99 for a 16 ounce liquid that contains 32 servings (one tablespoon is 100mg.).

Just eat your dark leafy green vegetables, and you'll get plenty of chlorophyll, such as spinich (yum) and kale (yuck).

"The trick to retaining maximum chlorophyll in food is to eat it raw or cook/steam it slightly. If you can retain the green color, you will retain the beneficial chlorophyll."
