Chlorella

Often I get asked the question, “What is your favorite product in the store?” and without hesitation the word Chlorella comes up.  Two Billion years ago a single-celled freshwater algae began to spread through the waters of the world.  This algae is much more complicated than the algae on your fish tank.

In the nutrition industry more and more people are becoming interested in whole food supplements, Chlorella would be considered by many as the Cadillac of whole food supplements.  With 20 vitamins and minerals, and 19 amino acids not to mention omega 3 fatty acids, there would have to be a massive argument to over take this food.  Chlorella is the only food I know which has the capacity to repair damaged RNA & DNA & and in theory stop the aging process.  In Japan, Chlorella has been the number one selling supplement for years.  It’s commonly sold to assist the body in the breakdown of heavy metals, and other toxins like PCB’s, DDT, Mercury, Cadmium and even Lead. 

Chlorella is nature’s richest source of chlorophyll, a powerful cleanser & detoxifier for the body.  Chlorophyll is the green blood of plants and if we were to look at chlorophyll at the molecular level we’d see a very similar chemical composition to our own blood.  So humans and plants are closer than you may think.

Our bodies immune system is a very complex system and its first line of defense would be macrophages.  These cells certainly don’t discriminate, anything foreign is destroyed right on the spot, no questions asked.  Chlorella has been proven to significantly stimulate the activity of macrophages.

When taking Chlorella it would be best to take with a small meal.  Three grams a day is generally a good dose to take.  Keep in mind it’s a whole food, and not a concentrate or extract, therefore you can not take too much of it.  If you are concerned about taste, tablets are also provided.
