Inhibiting dietary & environmental stressors

Processed foods and those cooked at high temperatures promote undesirable cellular function.^6,7 Deep-fried foods, along with well-done beef, steak, hamburgers, bacon and even lean meats and fish can encourage the formation of gene-mutating heterocyclic amines.⁸ Plant foods like grains, nuts, olives and potatoes can form other DNA compounds during processing.^7,9

Chlorophyllin is made from chlorophyll, a green pigment found in plants. It has been shown to have DNA-protective and antioxidant properties, helping inhibit the bonding of chemicals to pieces of DNA.^10,11 Chlorophyllin also quenches major oxygen-free-radical species and acts to support mitochondrial health.^12-15
