Chlorophyll is any of several related green pigments found in the mesosomes of cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants.

- Chlorophyll is a green pigment that occurs naturally in plants.
- Green leafy vegetables, wheatgrass, green tea, potatoes, and certain algae and plants are all good sources of food.
- Alfalfa, algae, and silkworm droppings are typical sources of chlorophyll in supplements.
- However, many "chlorophyll" supplements include chlorophyllin, a chlorophyll-derived molecule.
- There isn't enough data to figure out how chlorophyll works.
- Acne, wound healing, hay fever, and a variety of other ailments are all treated with chlorophyll, but there is no clear scientific evidence to back up these claims.
