Legit product or 'snake oil'?

edit

Yeah but does it work or even really exist or is it just snake oil. Has this article been creted by the people that make nullo to sell their snake oil product ? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.167.6 (talk) 21:17, 26 October 2006

I have no idea if it's snake oil or not, but I made the article originally. I was wondering what it was, did some research, and figured I'd share. I'm not sure if it properly belongs in "alternative health", though, I seem to recall it being written about in mainstream sources. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.80.51 (talk) 07:37, 10 January 2007
One of the external links (http://www.aboutincontinence.org/OdorControl.html - the only one predating the merge from body-mint) seems to be a really good and balanced article on the stuff in general, and from what I read there I think the only valid reason to consider this 'alternative' medicine is that is seems to be somewhat ignored and under-researched by much of mainstream medicine. - Pacula 12:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Merging of data from old body mint article, and giving credit where due

edit

I've made some pretty drastic changes to this article recently, and I wanted to point out that much of information I added was originally from the old Body mint article, which was originally and primarily written by Daniel.Cardenas. The only credit I can really take was recognizing the redundant articles, and merging the best parts of both, rewritng as needed, into the current article here. - Pacula 03:51, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please don't confuse Chlorophyll and Chlorophyllin.

edit

The article cites Castro DJ as Chlorophyllin present in spinach at 5.7% concentrations. That is incorrect, please reread the journal, they were referring to Cholorophyll (Chl) not Chlorophyllin (CHL). CHL is the copper salt made by substituting the magnesium atom with copper by an acid wash, it is soluble in water, and is not "natural" as it is manufactured by chemical process that alters the molecule, whereas Chlorophyll (Chl) is plant juice extract, retaining the molecular composition found within the plant, and is not that soluble in water. A better comparison between Chl and CHL here http://carcin.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/7/1247.full shows that CHL is an order of magnitude better at triggering a particular chemoprotective enzyme production (NQO1, cancer prevention) than Chl itself; Chl induced NQO1 at 250 µM concentration, vs. only 10 - 30 µM needed of Chlorophyllin (CHL). Also this article should mention the chemistry better, and relate the structure of the molecule to blood heme, point to the Cholorphyll article as a See Also. One could mention Chlorophyllin is a potent antimutagen against dietary and environmental mixtures such as fried beef, fried shredded pork, red grape juice, red wine, cigarette smoke, tobacco snuff, chewing tobacco, airborne particles, coal dust and diesel emission particles in microbe models, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3511367. Could also mention side effects such as diahrrhea, green stool, I know I found some at my local grocery, and should also mention it tastes like you ate a football field.

WHAT? You mentioned "red grape juice". Please be more specific, is it really harmful?

I am confused about this product: http://www.iherb.com/Life-Extension-Chlorophyllin-100-mg-100-Veggie-Caps/43167 All other Chlorophyllin products I have found have Copper. This product has Magnesium instead of Copper. But the manufacturer calls this product chlorophyllin, not Chlorophyll for some reason. Chlorophyll usually has Magnesium while Chlorophyllin usually has Copper.

I am not convinced Chlorphyllin products are healthy as one easily gets too much copper from them. It might be safe if the copper goes to liver, but how can we know does copper from chlorophyllin go directly to blood instead of via liver? Free unbound copper in blood is harmful and may cause Alzheimer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4030141/

scheme 1 and 2

edit

In the sectien "Chemistry" there are references to schemes 1 and 2. Either I am growing blind or those schemes are missing. Is anyone able to introduce them so the article becomes better eadable? Thanks a lot. T.vanschaik (talk) 06:55, 15 May 2012 (UTC)Reply


Cannot change Languages/Russian link to correct article

edit

Correct article is https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Хлорофиллин_натрия yet I tried to change and failed.

Please help. Pavel Senatorov, developer of programming language Ya (talk) 16:49, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Copper in sodium copper chlorophyllin

edit

If my math is right, a sodium copper chlorophyllin supplement (having a molecular weight of 724.1) has one copper atom (having a molecular weight of 63.55), thereby providing 8.78% copper by weight. --Acyclic (talk) 19:27, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
