Tag: Deodorizer

According to a 2023 study, chlorophyll may neutralize compounds that cause bad breath, which has fueled its popularity for odor control. Does chlorophyll reduce odor, or is it just another health fad? The answer requires a look beyond social media and into the science behind this green pigment and its more bioavailable derivative, chlorophyllin.

Clinical studies from the 1980s involving chlorophyllin, a derivative of chlorophyll, used it to control odors in geriatric patients, showing noticeable effects after about two weeks of daily use. The exact time frame for when chlorophyll starts to deodorize varies significantly depending on individual factors and the supplement form.
