How to Choose Liquid Chlorophyll in Australia
More on: Supplement Buyer's Guides · Liquid Chlorophyll Guides
If you are working out how to choose liquid chlorophyll, start with the first ingredient. Nearly every liquid chlorophyll is actually chlorophyllin, and the type of chlorophyllin is the biggest difference between bottles.
Short answer: check whether it is copper or magnesium chlorophyllin, whether it has preservatives or mint flavour, and what the base liquid is. Our pick is Propel Health Liquid Chlorophyll: uncoppered sodium magnesium chlorophyllin, no preservatives or additives, in a base that includes organic colloidal trace minerals.
How to choose liquid chlorophyll: four checks
1. Copper or magnesium chlorophyllin
Natural chlorophyll has magnesium at its centre. Most liquid products use sodium copper chlorophyllin, where the magnesium has been replaced with copper to make it more stable. Uncoppered versions keep the magnesium form. The label should tell you which.
2. Preservatives
Many shelf-stable chlorophylls contain preservatives. A preservative-free bottle needs to go in the fridge once opened.
3. Flavour
Mint flavouring is common. If you prefer to add chlorophyll to a juice or smoothie, unflavoured is more flexible.
4. The base
Check what the chlorophyllin is carried in. Water and vegetable glycerine are typical.
How ours measures up
| What to check | Why it matters | Ours |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorophyllin type | Copper or magnesium form | Sodium magnesium chlorophyllin (plant derived), uncoppered |
| Preservatives | What you are drinking | No preservatives or additives |
| Base | Full ingredient list | Purified water, vegetable glycerine, organic colloidal trace minerals (with humic and fulvic acids) |
| Serve | Cost per day | 5 ml (1 teaspoon), 40 serves in 200 ml |
| Sugar | Fits low sugar eating | 0.0 g sugars per serve |
| Diet and origin | Fits most eating patterns | Vegan, non GMO, no gluten. Packed in Australia from at least 62% Australian ingredients |
One honest gap: our label does not print milligrams of chlorophyllin per serve. Ask any brand for that figure if you are comparing concentration.
Our pick: Propel Health Liquid Chlorophyll
Take one teaspoon (5 ml) diluted in water, juice or a green smoothie once or twice a day. Shake well before use and refrigerate after opening.
