Product Information

• Name: Chlorophyll a
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chlorophyll a is a primary photosynthetic pigment, which is an essential component in the photosynthetic apparatus of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. This pigment is primarily derived from chloroplasts in plant cells and is embedded within the thylakoid membranes. Its primary role involves absorbing light, particularly in the blue and red wavelengths, and converting it into chemical energy through electron excitation, thus facilitating the conversion of light energy into ATP and NADPH during photosynthesis.
