Abstract

The effect of 75 mg chlorophyll tablets thrice daily was studied in 28 colostomy patients. The investigation was carried out as a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study. The effect of chlorophyll did not differ from that of a placebo in the patients' subjective assessment of the unpleasant odour.
