How to Prepare Chlorophyll Powder
Chlorophyll powder is a health supplement made most often from wheat grass. Chlorophyll powder is added to the diet to detoxify the body, reduce body odor and improve health. It is purported to have antibacterial properties, to boost energy and to contain essential vitamins and minerals. Because it is water soluble, chlorophyll powder can be dissolved in any water-containing solution. Chlorophyll powder can be prepared many ways, whether you add it to your diet or use it in grooming products to promote wellness.
