Chlorophyll is extracted from green plants that are dried before solvent extraction. Solvent extraction results in an oil soluble product which is standardised with vegetable oil. Nature Nine Naturals also produces chlorophyll colour emulsions that can mix with water.
Nature Nine Naturals is different from other manufacturers of chlorophyll, because we do not use mulberry leaves. These leaves are associated with bad quality and unhygienic manufacturing processes. Nature Nine Natural’s source of chlorophyll is a green plant called Alfalfa (Hedge Lucerne).
