Day 8:
Nothing interesting to report on the Body Mint front. Great results for getting rid of morning breath, and still having interesting, green poop.
On a side note, I'm driving to work today talking with my friend who I carpool with. We're at a stop light when this lady pulls up next to us and asks me if I called her an idiot. Seriously? I told her 'no, but would you like me to?'.
I mean, talk about a random act of what the heck.

Day 7: Uh, it's green?!
Day 7:
So I've been pretty good about taking my Body Mint twice a day. Now, before I continue I want to throw a word of caution before anyone reads further. I'm going to talk about crap... literally.
**WARNING: GRAPHIC CRAP TALK AHEAD**
So I'm using the bathroom and I noticed something. My crap was green! Not toxic waste green, but a really dark green color. Please don't ask how I noticed it. I just did and I'm sure all of you have noticed the color of your crap once in a while.
So I sat there thinking abit. Then I realized, it's the same color as the Body Mint tablet. I guess it makes sense that it would be that color green, but what got me thinking is how 2 little tablets can turn everything green. So I decided to see what their website had to say:
Chlorophyll and Green Stool
Well what do you know.... right there in the frequently asked questions, one specific for green stool! I guess it's the chlorophyllin flushing out the stinky.
So there you have it. Green stool is normal if you're taking Body Mint. Cool?
**END GRAPHIC CRAP TALK**
Now that's out of the way, I had my workout yesterday. I didn't push extra hard and I didn't hug my boyfriend after. Oops. We got into an argument so I didn't really feel like hugging him anyway. I swear, sometimes guys can be totally clueless. Sometimes, a girl just wants to vent and have her man listen.. not give advice, not tell me what I should do... just LISTEN! Ugh!
Guess that test will have to wait for another time.

Day 6: Signs of Progress II
Day 6:
I wasn't able to be at my computer to do my daily post yesterday, but I did write down some notes. As I wrote in my last entry, I actually did start to notice a difference in my morning breath. Sounds so weird to say that, but hey... EVERYONE has morning breath.
I woke up again this morning (well, yesterday morning) and again that dry mouth feeling wasn't there. My mouth felt moist, for lack of a better word. Kind of like that feeling after you ate a lemon... but without the sour taste.
Haven't really noticed any changes in body smell, but quite honestly I don't think I have body odor to begin with. I have a planned workout with my boyfriend today so maybe I'll try to push extra hard and give him a big hug afterwards to see what he thinks.

Day 3 - 5: Signs of Progress?
Day 3 - 5:
Welp, since I didn't have much to report this weekend I decided that I would wait until I started to notice something before I did my next entry. Took both my Body Mint pills Saturday and Sunday as directed. Nothing.
Then...
I woke up this beautiful Monday morning and started as I normally do. I hit the snooze button and roll around in bed for a good 15 minutes before actually getting up. I take a look at my cell phone to see if I missed any calls/texts during the night. Turn on the TV to see what horrific traffic nightmare I have to face today.
I started looking through my closet trying to figure out what to wear. I went outside and started the coffee pot. And then it dawned on me. I didn't brush my teeth yet. Of course I didn't forget, but it's usually one of the first things I do after waking up. Then it hit me... I didn't have that morning mouth feeling. You know what I'm talking about; that dry, kind of pasty feel in your mouth that only a good brush can get rid of.
Was it the Body Mint? After thinking for a few seconds, I came to the conclusion that it was. I'm not taking anything else out of the ordinary.
Generally I can tell if my breath is a little off. I can say honestly say that I still needed to brush my teeth just for the cleanliness factor, but I would've actually been okay talking with my boyfriend at that very moment.
Interesting...

Day 2: The Sequel
Day 2:
Woke up this morning, brushed my teeth, washed my face and popped my morning Body Mint. So far no change. I didn't expect one since it says it takes about a week. So I guess for now we'll just wait and see.
I told a few friends about what I'm doing and amazingly they were rather curious. I thought they'd think I was weird, but they actually had some interesting things to say. One friend actually has a family member who uses Body Mint and most of them have heard of it. They said they heard positive things, so that's encouraging. Couple said they thought about trying it just to see if it worked, but the price was kind of expensive. Oh well, such is the way of things.
On a side note, it's funny how some people squeeze the toothpaste tube from the middle, while others start at the bottom. It makes sense to me to squeeze from the bottom.
Oh well that's all for now. I plan to take another Body Mint before I head to bed tonight and post about Day 3 tomorrow!

Day 1 - Here goes nothing
Day 1:
Opened the box and unwrapped the bottle. Instructions say to take 2 tablets per day. One in the morning and one at night. Looking over the ingredients, it looks like the main one is chlorophyllin SSC. The pill itself is a dark green color. It isn't coated so there is a slight green powder feel to the pill.
I did a quick search to see if chlorophyllin does anything for body odor. After some poking around, it seems there are a few products like Body Mint that are made from either chlorophyllin or chlorophyll. They all claim to help with body odor.
My first question was, what is the difference between chlorophyll and chlorophyllin. Ugh, I feel like I'm back in chemistry class...
So chlorophyllin is the result of removing some molecule from chlorophyll which in turn makes it dissolvable in liquid. I know there are products that use both chlorophyll and chlorophyllin, but which one works better and why? Anyone?
Well, that aside, I remember the person I spoke with at the expo said Body Mint takes about a week before noticing any results. I definitely don't have an odor problem but I'll be the first to admit that I can tell if my breath is a little 'off' or if my body smells like a long, hard day.
Glass of water. Body Mint pill. Down the hatch it goes.

Introduction
I was recently as the Great Aloha Run expo in Hawaii in preparation for the run itself. Looking around the various booths, I came across Body Mint. I've heard of it before but never really tried it. They gave me a free box. I read over the copy and it sounded interesting. A pill that can get rid of body, breath and foot odor. Plus it's made from natural ingredients. Seems like everyone claims they are natural, but one look at this pill and I'm inclined to believe it in this case.
Anyways, I was bored and decided to try it out to see if it really does what it says. I thought, why not do a quick blog and document it; nothing else to do at the moment.
