Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll/Nutrient Depletion:

  • CarotenoidsCarotenoids: According to a review, beta-carotene or canthaxanthin have prevented or lessened chlorophyll-induced photosensitivity (52).
  • GlucoseGlucose: According to animal research, the chlorophyll metabolite phytanic acid may have hypoglycemic activity (13; 14).\
  • LipidsLipids: Phytanic and pristanic acids are thought to affect catabolic lipid metabolism (21).
  • Pantothenic acidPantothenic acid: In animal research, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and pantothenic acid exerted preventive effects against photosensitized hemolysis (81).
  • Vitamin CVitamin C: In animal research, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and pantothenic acid exerted preventive effects against photosensitized hemolysis (81).
