Cardi B has announced that she's turning to chlorophyll this summer to manage body odor.
The rapper shared her new approach on social media, sparking curiosity among fans about this green supplement. Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, is often used in supplements known as chlorophyllin, which is believed to be better absorbed by the body. Chlorophyll supplements have gained popularity online, with influencers claiming benefits like detoxification, improved skin health, and odor control.
Health professionals, like those interviewed by Healthgrades, caution that chlorophyll's effects on body odor are not well-supported by modern research. They emphasize that the best way to consume chlorophyll is through whole foods like spinach and kale, which also provide fiber and other nutrients.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence, Cardi B's endorsement of chlorophyll has brought the supplement back into the spotlight. As with any supplement, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting chlorophyll, especially since supplements are not FDA-regulated.
