Deodorizing Agent
Chlorophyll has long been investigated for its potential as a deodorant. Chlorophyll may lessen odors in persons who have had colostomies, according to 1960 research. Later, a 1989 study discovered that chlorophyll was unsuccessful at reducing odors in people with colostomies. However, a 1980 study found that chlorophyll reduced lower body odor in nursing homes for senior people.
Chlorophyll is now present in certain mouthwashes and deodorants. To lessen body odors, some people also take chlorophyll supplements. Although chlorophyllin has been used to mask some odors since the 1940s, studies on its effectiveness are antiquated and yield conflicting results.
According to researchers, scientists do not support the deodorizing abilities of chlorophyll. It is unsupported by evidence that it lessens breath, body, or wound odor. Given that restaurants still use parsley to decorate plates after meals, it seems clear that this concept is still commonly believed.
Chlorophyllin dramatically reduced the number of trimethylamines in the body. The current study of patients with trimethylaminuria results in a fishy odor. There isn’t much proof to support claims that chlorophyllin lessens foul breath.
