Chlorophyll Supplements

Chlorophyll and its water-soluble derivative chlorophyllin bind to odour-causing compounds in the gut and bloodstream before they can be excreted through the skin or breath. The result is a reduction in odour at the source — not a masking of it at the surface. Clinical use of chlorophyll for internal deodorising dates back to the 1950s, when hospital studies showed it reduced body and faecal odour in patients.

If body odour returns within hours of washing, the source is likely internal rather than skin-surface bacteria alone. What you digest, how well your gut processes it, and what your liver filters all affect how you smell from the outside. Deodorant addresses the result at the skin's surface but doesn't touch the process happening inside the gut and bloodstream.

Most people notice a difference within 1–2 weeks of consistent daily use. Results vary depending on diet, gut health and the underlying cause of odour. For women who notice stronger odour at specific points in their cycle or after certain foods, improvement is typically noticeable within the first two weeks of daily supplementation.

Chlorophyll supports internal freshness broadly, including reducing odour-causing compounds that exit through the body's excretory pathways. It is not a treatment for vaginal infections like BV or thrush, which require specific probiotic or medical treatment. For women experiencing vaginal odour linked to microbiome imbalance, Ellasie's vaginal probiotic range is the more targeted approach.

Yes. Chlorophyll supplements are derived from plant sources and are considered safe for daily use by most healthy adults. FreshBody capsules are vegan, GMP-certified and independently lab-tested for purity every batch. As with any supplement, consult your GP if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking prescribed medication.

Liquid chlorophyll drops require measuring, can stain teeth and surfaces, and often need refrigeration. FreshBody capsules deliver a precise dose in a convenient once-daily format — no mess, no measuring, no aftertaste. The capsule format also protects the chlorophyll from degradation before it reaches the gut.
