Chlorophyll Deodorant Pills - Know What to Look Out For

If you've been following my blog then you'll know I'm a big fan of chlorophyll supplements, especially as a deodorant. Not only is it effective, but it also accomplishes several things regular deodorants do not. They don't contain harmful ingredients like aluminum, they work on multiple types of odor and they work constantly so long as you remember to take it.

One thing people have been asking me is how do you know which ones work and which ones don't. There are many brands and truth be told, they are not all the same. Just as with any product, you have brands with a good reputation and ones who don't. This article will try and help to make the decision process easier.

There are 3 main things to look for when choosing a chlorophyll deodorant supplement. First is whether or not the product is using chlorophyll or chlorophyllin. You can check this by looking at the Supplement Facts box located on the back of most bottles. You'll want to use a brand that uses chlorophyllin. It is a water soluble derivative of chlorophyll and can be absorbed by the body. Unlike chlorophyll, it is able to bind to odor compounds in the body and remove them. This is due to the water dissolvability factor and an important feature for any internal deodorant product.

Second thing to keep an eye out for is the amount of chlorophyllin per tablet. This can vary significantly from brand to brand. I've seen it range anywhere from 16mg per tablet to 100mg per tablet. Everyone's needs are different, but the general consensus among experts is that about 200mg is needed per day to maintain a consistent and effective deodorant protection. In addition to this, pay careful attention of the serving sizes. Most products use 1, but there are those that use a serving size of 2 or more. If a product uses 2, remember that all chlorophyllin amounts listed need to be halved.

The last factor to be aware of is the number of tablets in relation to cost. Pill quantities can range from 30 to 60 to 100 tablets per bottle. 100 tablets might seem like a lot, but what you really want to pay for is the amount of chlorophyllin. In the 100 tablet bottle, if each tablet only has 16mg of chlorophyllin, you'd obviously be getting a better deal with a 60 tablet, 100mg bottle instead. A good way to calculate value is to follow this simple formula:

(# of tablets) X (chlorophyllin mg per serving) / price = cost per mg

These three factors are important, but not the end all for finding a good chlorophyll supplement. The best thing to do is to research and experiment with what works and what doesn't. Remember, not all chlorophyllin is the same. There isn't any real way to measure this as many companies hold their plant sources as trade secrets. Whatever you decide, just remember to read, research and report!
