Message:


I would like to know about open-ring absorption of chlorophyll.
I know Heme is degraded in the liver into an open ring, but
I want to know how chlorophyll is absorbed through the intestinal
walls or into the lymph node. Can the magnesium in the chlorphyll
be replaced by Iron in the bloodstream to form Hemoglobin ?
