Chlorophyllin

What is Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin? 

Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin is a semi-synthetic, water-soluble derivative of natural chlorophyll (the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plants). In this compound, the magnesium ion in natural chlorophyll is replaced by copper, and the side chains are hydrolyzed and saponified to form sodium salts. This process significantly enhances its water solubility, stability, and resistance to light and heat while retaining the core chromophore structure of natural chlorophyll. As a result, it appears as a vibrant, stable blue-green colorant and is far more suitable than natural chlorophyll for applications in nutraceuticals, food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Applications:

1. Potent Antioxidant:

   • Effectively neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress damage to cells.

   • Helps protect body tissues from oxidative damage and supports overall wellness.

2. Detoxification & Cleansing Support:

   • Research (including human studies) indicates it can bind to certain environmental toxins (e.g., aflatoxin B1, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heterocyclic amines, some heavy metals), forming poorly absorbed complexes that promote elimination via feces.

   • Often promoted as an “internal cleanser” or “natural deodorizer” to reduce body odor and bad breath.

3. Wound Healing Support:

   • Traditionally used topically to promote wound healing. Its potential anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerative properties are believed to contribute to this effect (further research ongoing).

   • An active ingredient in certain topical ointments and wound dressings.

4. Natural Colorant:

   • Serves as a safe, stable natural colorant (INS 141, E141), providing vibrant blue-green to olive-green hues.

   • Widely used in food, beverages, confectionery, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

5. Deodorizing Properties:

   • Effectively neutralizes odor-causing molecules, particularly sulfur compounds (e.g., those causing bad breath, sweat odor, fecal odor). Commonly used in oral care products (toothpaste, mouthwash), deodorants, pet care products, and wound care.

6. Potential Health Support (Areas of Research):

   • Preliminary research (mainly in vitro and animal models) explores its potential in supporting liver health, immune modulation, and antimutagenicity (reducing risk of genetic mutations). More high-quality human studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Fuctions:

1. Nutraceutical / Dietary Supplement Ingredient:

   • Oral Supplements: Tablets, capsules, powders, or liquids leveraging its antioxidant, detoxification/cleansing, and internal deodorizing benefits. Common in “detox,” “cleanse,” “deodorizing,” and “antioxidant” formulations.

   • Functional Food/Beverage Additive: Added as a health-promoting ingredient while providing natural coloring.

2. Cosmetic Ingredient:

   • Natural Colorant: Provides safe, natural blue-green tones for skincare (e.g., masks, lotions), color cosmetics (e.g., eyeshadow, eyeliner), bath products, and soaps. Meets consumer demand for natural ingredients.

   • Deodorant Agent: Incorporated into natural deodorants, mouthwashes, and toothpaste for its odor-neutralizing ability.

   • Functional Claim Ingredient: Used in products claiming anti-aging benefits and protection against environmental stressors due to its antioxidant properties. Also found in “purifying” or “detoxifying” skincare lines.

3. Food Industry:

   • Natural Food Colorant (E141): Imparts green to olive-green shades in candy, chewing gum, ice cream, dairy products, beverages, soups, and sauces.

4. Pharmaceutical Industry:

   • Topical Medications: Active ingredient in wound-healing ointments or dressings.

   • Drug Colorant: Colors tablets, capsules, or liquid medicines.

   • Internal Deodorant: Used in specific medications to reduce gastrointestinal odors.
