Research points to an unexpected ally in the fight against cancer—chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants.

Scientists are uncovering chlorophyll’s remarkable potential in preventing and treating cancer. This green pigment shows promise in inhibiting carcinogen uptake, enhancing immune function, and reducing the side effects of cancer radiation and chemotherapy.

What Is Chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, and is responsible for the green color of plants.
