Chlorella

Chlorella is a tiny, single-celled water-grown algae filled with chlorophyll. It is an excellent source of protein, carbohydrates, all of the B vitamins, vitamin C and E, and rare trace minerals. Chlorella is nearly a complete food and contains more B12 vitamin than liver. Its name is taken from the Greek, “chloros” meaning green and “ella” meaning small. Chlorella contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant. And of all the green algae studied so far, chlorella has the highest, often ranging from 3 to 5% pure natural chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is one of the greatest food substances for cleansing the bowel and other elimination systems, such as the liver and the blood. The Japanese frequently take it by adding it to tea, soup, milk, juice, noodles, yogurt, and other foods.

Chlorella is an immune booster, rich in a number of nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B12, iron, chlorophyll, essential fatty acids and protein. It is also known for its ability to reduce cholesterol, lowering the chance of heart attack and stroke.

Chlorella has been used for a variety of benefits.

• a powerful detoxification aid for removing heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, etc) and other pesticides from the body. Detoxification of heavy metals and other chemical toxins in the blood will take 3 to 6 months to build up enough to begin this process depending on how much chlorella a person is taking.
• cleansing action on the bowel and other elimination channels helps keep the blood clean. Clean blood insures that metabolic wastes are efficiently carried away from the tissues.
• eliminate chronic bad breath and body odor in just a few days. Foul smelling stools are also greatly improved.
• relieve constipation
• stimulate the production of red blood cells in the body to counter anemia.
• carry oxygen around the body and to the brain. This is why chlorella is often called a “Brain Food”.
• help fight cancer
• alkalise the body. Chlorella is alkaline and helps balance the body’s pH. It’s important that we maintain a balance body pH of ideally about 7.2-7.4, which is about neutral. A diet consisting of acidic food (junk food, processed food, red meat and soft drink) which have a pH of 2.7 is where most diseases start. Generally bacteria and viruses do not live well in an alkaline environment.
• normalise blood sugar and blood pressure
• protect the body against ultraviolet radiation
• boost the immune system
• help in the proper digestion of food
• energize the body
• increased cellular regeneration, which can slow the aging process
• make bone and blood vessels stronger
