Chlorophyllin is derived from chlorophyll. It is produced by chemically modifying chlorophyll in a laboratory setting and is therefore considered 'semi-synthetic'. Chlorophyllin is produced as it is more water-soluble than chlorophyll and more stable. Chlorophyllin is used as a food coloring agent as well as a dietary supplement. It is claimed to have a variety of health benefits, including the ability to support detoxification, improve digestion, and reduce bad breath.
