A unique detox fresh water algae
Nutrient-dense green algae that possesses unique nutritional properties, it helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already in normal range. This fresh water algae is widely distributed throughout the biosphere, it has been used in Japan since its culture became commercially and technically feasible in the early 60s. Chlorella is now Japans most popular food supplement with over 1,000 tons produced annually. It has been shown to have antiviral, wound-regenerating, immune-enhancing, and detoxification properties.

Japanese biochemists have also isolated an ill-defined water soluble extract of Chlorella (perhaps peptides) dubbed CGF or Chlorella Growth Factor. Studies in Japan have found CGF to have anti cancer effects in standard cancer rodent models.

Topical or oral administration of Chlorella has been found to be useful in the treatment of diabetic skin ulcers, pyorrhea, cervicitis, radiation burns, and pancreatitis. The mechanism by which chlorella speeds healing is under investigation, but it is hypothesized that cell wall polysaccharides stimulate interferon production, this in turn stimulates TNF (tumor necrosis factor) which activates fibroblast activity. This, along with inhibition of proteases released during inflammation results in a synergistic effect on the healing process.

Chlorellas also has a growing reputation as a dietary detoxification agent. Chlorellas detoxification capabilities have been extensively studied in Japan where it has been found to increase excretion of cadmium from people suffering from Itai-itai (cadmium poisoning). Chlorella is known to detoxify heavy metals such as cadmium, uranium and lead.

Super Food
Chlorella’s impressive nutritional profile has led some to call it a “super food.” While its exact nutrient content depends on growing conditions, the species used and how supplements are processed, it’s clear it packs several beneficial nutrients.

They include:

Protein: Chlorella is 50–60% protein. It is a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids (3, 5).
Vitamin B12: Some chlorella varieties may also contain vitamin B12, but more studies are needed (6).
Iron and vitamin C: Chlorella can be a good source of iron. Depending on the supplement, it may provide anywhere from 6–40% of your daily need. It’s also an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps you absorb iron
Other antioxidants: These tiny green cells provide a wide range of antioxidants
Other vitamins and minerals: Chlorella provides small amounts of magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium, calcium, folic acid and other B vitamins
Omega-3s: As with other algae, chlorella contains some omega 3’s. Just 3 grams of chlorella delivers 100 mg of omega-3s
Fibre: In large quantities, chlorella can be a good source of fibre. However, most supplements don’t provide even 1 gram of fibre per dose

Heavy Metals Detox
Chlorella is well known for its ability to “detox.”

Animal studies indicate that it’s effective at helping remove toxic or heavy metals and other harmful compounds from the body

In animals, algae, including chlorella, has been found to weaken the heavy metal toxicity of the liver, brain and kidneys

Furthermore, chlorella has been shown to help lower the amount of other harmful chemicals that are sometimes found in food.

One of these is dioxin, a hormone disruptor that can contaminate animals in the food supply
