Product Notes:
We're probably all accustomed to the notion of applying some sort of powders, lotions, or waxes under our arms to help control body odor, but did you know you could also take a natural food supplement for that, to head it off at the pass? In addition to being a source of nutrients, chlorophyll can also help facilitate the body's cleansing of odor-causing toxins, acting as an internal deodorant.
