Each day, our genes are exposed to damaging agents that distort their natural integrity. These damaging agents come from a variety of sources, including tobacco smoke and environmental pollutants. The number one toxin, however, is our diet. Particularly dangerous are overcooked foods that contain heterocyclic amines and acrylamide.

Even when we do everything right, the constant exposure to low levels of damaging compounds causes an accumulation of unfavorable gene alterations as we age. For example, even healthy foods can contain undesirable agents like aflatoxins that are particularly troublesome.

Fortunately, researchers have documented the ability of certain plant extracts to significantly bolster the body’s natural defenses against these assaults.* Broccoli and curcumin exhibit broad-spectrum effects, but the single most potent compound to guard gene integrity appears to be chlorophyllin.

Each Chlorophyllin softgel provides 100 mg of chlorophyllin in its preferred oil-based form. Since most gene-damaging agents are found in food, it makes sense to take chlorophyllin with one’s heaviest meals.

Individuals with in-born errors of copper metabolism (e.g. Wilson's disease) should avoid daily, chronic use of this product.
