How is chlorophyllin thought to function as an internal deodorizer?
It binds to odorous compounds within the digestive tract
The theory behind using chlorophyllin as an internal deodorizer centers on its ability to interact with compounds during the digestive process. Specifically, the compound is thought to bind to certain odorous substances within the digestive tract before those substances can be absorbed into the bloodstream and subsequently expelled through breath, sweat, or urine. This process operates from the inside out, distinguishing it from external deodorants that merely mask odors on the surface of the skin. While the exact mechanism is not fully mapped in contemporary research, this binding action is the primary explanation for its traditional use in managing conditions involving waste-related odors.
