Chlorella: The Fresh Water Super Food

Chlorella is a fresh water micro-algae, originating in the waters of Japan and one of the oldest living organisms on the planet. The green algae is a complete protein with impressive chlorophyll content and antioxidants, as well as essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and fiber. With a highly dense nutrient profile, chlorella is considered a super food—one that may be more nutritious than more commonly known greens like kale, spinach and broccoli.

While chlorella’s tough cellular walls make it difficult to digest, scientific research has led to the production of chlorella supplements that are more easily digested, thus allowing its nutrients to be more readily absorbed. The green super food is a rare vegetarian source of vitamin B-12, which helps support adrenal function, calms and maintains a healthy nervous system and is necessary for metabolic processes. 

Vitamin B-12 is important to DNA synthesis and maintaining healthy nerve cells. Like spirulina, chlorella also contains a high level of chlorophyll, which is responsible for the algae’s vibrant green color. Known for its ability to detoxify, chlorophyll may aid in cleansing the body of potentially harmful toxins.
