Analysis

Swanson GreenFoods Formulas Chlorophyll provides 50mg of Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin and 2mg of copper per serving. It stands out for its exceptionally low price per serving, making it highly accessible. While it shares the common marketing claims of promoting immunity, bone health, skin health, hair health, and detoxification, the scientific community largely considers these benefits to be anecdotal or requiring more robust research, especially for general supplementation. Its lower dose might be suitable for individuals seeking a milder effect or those who are cautious about their copper intake. The capsule form offers ease of use and portability.

Pros
  • Extremely low price per serving, making it a very budget-friendly option.
  • Convenient capsule form for easy, tasteless consumption and portability.
  • Reputable brand known for offering affordable supplements.
  • Lower copper dose (2mg) which may be preferred by some sensitive to higher intake.
Cons
  • Lower chlorophyllin dosage (50mg) compared to many standard 100mg options, potentially requiring more capsules for desired effects.
  • Broad health claims (immunity, bone, hair, detox) lack strong scientific backing and are primarily anecdotal.

Categories
Chlorophyllin 80.0
This product delivers 50mg of Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin, which is a functional dose for its primary uses like internal deodorizing. While some alternatives offer 100mg, 50mg is still effective for many users and allows for flexibility in dosing or combining with other supplements.
Copper 75.0
The product contains 2mg of copper as Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin, which provides a suitable daily amount without being excessively high. While chelated forms of copper are generally more bioavailable, the copper in this product is incorporated into the chlorophyllin complex, a common and acceptable form for this type of supplement.
Goals
Skin Health 60.0
Anecdotal reports and some preliminary studies suggest chlorophyllin may offer benefits for skin health, particularly in reducing acne and promoting overall skin appearance, likely due to anti-inflammatory properties. Its efficacy varies among individuals, and it's not a definitive solution for all skin issues.
Detoxification 50.0
Chlorophyllin can bind to certain environmental toxins in the digestive tract, potentially reducing their absorption. While this contributes to a form of detoxification, the body's natural liver and kidney functions are the primary detox pathways, and chlorophyll's overall systemic detox impact is often exaggerated.
Immunity 40.0
Chlorophyllin offers general antioxidant support, which can indirectly contribute to overall wellness and immune function. However, its direct role as a potent immune booster is not well-established, and specific immune-targeted nutrients are more effective.

Swanson Ultra's chelated copper provides 2mg of highly bioavailable copper at only 7 cents per serving. While not a chlorophyll product, it's a much cheaper way to get well-absorbed copper, which is a component of the original product, if that mineral is a key interest.
