Live Superfoods Organic Chlorella Powder

Chlorella (chlorella vulgaris) is a single-celled freshwater alga, containing large amount of chlorophyll, the chemical that gives plants their green color. Chlorophyll is an essential compound for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light into chemical energy. Chlorophyll is also available in green leafy vegetables.

Live Superfoods Chlorella Powder is a premium, USDA-certified organic, raw, ultrafine broken-cell walled chlorella that is deep, deep green in color. Our chlorella's cell walls are cracked via jet mill method.

Chlorella is promoted for a wide range of herbal remedies. Proponents suggest it fights bacterial and viral infections, enhances the immune system, increases the growth of "friendly" germs in the digestive tract, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and promotes healing of intestinal ulcers, diverticulosis, and Crohn’s disease. It is also said to "cleanse" the blood, digestive system, and the liver.

Supporters state that chlorella supplements increase the level of albumin in the body. Albumin is a protein normally present in the bloodstream, and promoters claim it is protective against diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, AIDS, pancreatitis, cirrhosis, hepatitis, anemia, and multiple sclerosis. Chlorella is said to prevent cancer through its ability to cleanse the body of toxins and heavy metals.

Chlorella contains vitamin C and carotenoids, both of which are antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that block the action of free radicals, activated oxygen molecules that can damage cells. Chlorella is also reported to contain high concentrations of B-complex vitamins.
