INDICATIONS:

Chlorella is a single-celled freshwater microalgae that is rich in complete protein, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, zinc, antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. It’s one of the richest known sources of chlorophyll, the sunlight-collecting molecule in plants that gives them their green pigment. The cell wall of chlorella must be broken down before its nutrients can be digested, thus the term “broken cell wall” or “cracked cell wall” is important to look for when purchasing Chlorella supplements.

Chlorella contains what is known as Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). CGFS is believed to be responsible for Chlorella’s unique nutritional profile. CGF is produced by Chlorella during intense photosynthesis, in which Chlorella multiplies four times every 20 hours. CGF contains amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, sugars, and nucleic acids.

Chlorella has an immune-stimulatory effect, enhancing natural killer cell activity and producing Th1 cell-induced cytokines. It also helps stimulate interferon production, a chemical produced by the body that protects cells against viruses.

The high amount of chlorophyll found in Chlorella helps build red blood cells and thus increases oxygen availability. It energizes and revitalizes the body and is helpful for fatigue, shortness of breath, asthma, altitude sickness, and intense physical exertion. Chlorella also encourages whole body cleansing and detoxification, and assists in the chelation of heavy metals.

Chlorella contains high amounts of lutein, an antioxidant carotenoid that is especially beneficial for eye health and vision. According to experts, consuming lutein-rich foods may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).

Chlorella can help normalize an underactive or sluggish bowel, reduce constipation, and improve regularity. It also is reported to promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the intestines.
