"If you follow health trends online, you might have heard about “chlorophyll
water”. Claims range from clearing your skin, stopping body odour, increasing
energy and oxygen, to detoxing your liver and preventing cancer.

Chlorophyll water is sold as a liquid concentrate or already mixed with water.
Numerous TikTok videos claim its health benefits.

Then there are celebrity endorsements for chlorophyll water, including from
Kourtney Kardashian on her lifestyle channel.

So, what is chlorophyll water? And is it really a healthy choice?"

Executive summary: mostly marketing nonsense, but if you drink it instead of
something unhealthy (like carbonated soft drinks) then that’s useful.
