We are not plants….why do we need chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that allow them to absorb sunlight. Plants use chlorophyll and light to make food. It can be extracted from many plants, but wheatgrass is composed of as much as 70-percent chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is at its highest levels in very fresh plant material. We use chlorophyll as medicine as it contributes to our health and well-being.
