Chlorophyll is fragile, and bad processing has a real consequence. When chlorophyll is broken down by heat drying, aggressive solvents, or light, it can degrade into pheophorbide, a compound that becomes phototoxic, reacting in the body on exposure to sunlight. Natural does not automatically mean safe.
This is exactly why the low-temperature vacuum process exists. By avoiding heat drying, it prevents the creation of pheophorbide in the first place, keeping measured levels low. Gentle capture is not a marketing line; it is the difference between a functional compound and a harmful one.
Key takeaways
- →Heat or harsh extraction can turn chlorophyll into phototoxic pheophorbide.
- →Low-temperature vacuum extraction prevents it from forming.
- →Process quality is a safety issue, not just a potency one.
