CHLORELLA Chlorella pyrenoidosa
Chlorella is an amazing single cell freshwater green microalgae that is the superfood of choice for over 10 million people worldwide. The first known form of plant life with a true nucleus, it has survived for 2.5 billion years because of its extremely tough outer cell wall and its ability to quadruple in quantity every 20 hours, making it the fastest growing plant on earth! The most extensive scientifically researched foodstuff and #1 supplement in Japan. NASA believes it to be the ideal food for long term space travel and colonization. Chlorella is said to be the most powerful yet gentle detoxifying whole food known.
Chlorella contains an impressive 60+% bioavailable protein; providing 19 amino acids including all essential aminos in excellent proportions. It is high in enzymes, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5(niacin), B6, B12, C, E, K, an array of carotenes, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, iodine and exceptionally high in iron. Richest of all the edible algaes in essential fatty acids. It has the highest levels of chlorophyll of any natural source, up to 5 to 10 times that of Spirulina! Chlorophyll kills harmful bacteria, is nearly identical to hemoglobin in blood and is a remarkable agent for blood building, cleansing and tissue repair. Chlorella is by far the richest source for RNA/DNA, which when taken in foods provides material for cellular repair and revitalization, contributing to rapid healing, greater energy and longer life span. The nucleus of the chlorella cell contains a unique nucleotide-peptide complex known as Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) which actually promotes cell growth in the body, stimulating tissue repair and healing to an extent not previously found in any other food, it even increases growth rates in children! Chlorella produces an incredible enhancement of metabolic function, rebuilds and fortifies the immune system, slows aging, greatly improves digestion and stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria in the bowels. It is highly effective helping the body to breakdown and detoxify a wide variety of environmental toxins. In fact, Chlorella’s outer cell wall has the unique ability to bind with heavy metals and persistent toxicants like DDT and PCBs and carry them safely out of the body. The cell wall also contains a substructure of complex polysaccharides that stimulate interferon production to fight off viruses and other foreign agents. Clinical research has shown chlorella to aid in protecting against and healing an amazingly wide spectrum of maladies including: colds and flus, liver disease, high cholesterol, tumors/cancers, ulcers, Alzheimers, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, candida overgrowth, loss of vision, even radiation sickness.
A starting dose is about 1 teaspoon a day, working up to 4 or more over several weeks. More should be taken when illness is present, as a safeguard when traveling and during the cold and flu season. Chlorella has a much milder taste compared to other algaes like Spirulina and is excellent mixed into juice, smoothies, sauces, soups and other foods. Blending with equal parts honey is a real treat, kids love it! Chlorella is known to increase the growth of lactobacillus acidophilus and enhances the preparation of fermented foods and drinks such as sauerkraut, yogurt and kefir. The most pronounced effects are usually experienced after consuming Chlorella daily for 2-3 months; increased energy accompanied by mental clarity and a remarkable feeling of well being. Great for everyone, healthy or ill, children, elders, even pets!
Chlorella’s tough outer wall of cellulose is largely indigestible, but the Japanese have come up with several methods to overcome this problem. Our Chlorella is exposed to supersonic sound, which vibrates the cells together weakening the cell walls and causing small ruptures. The chlorella is then spray dried, further permeating the cell walls without completely fracturing them. This process produces a beautiful deep green powder that is one of the most digestible products while preserving the high nutrient content that is partially destroyed by other production methods. The protein content of our Chlorella is typically 65% while Chlorella produced by the patented dyno-mill method is closer to 50%.
Our Chlorella is naturally cultivated in sun exposed ponds in Japan. Sun exposure assures the highest levels of chlorophyll, CGF and other phytonutrients. Growth, harvest and processing is closely monitored, our Chlorella powder tests negative for all pollutants and microbes.
Chlorella keeps well. For optimum nutrient preservation we suggest storing in an air tight glass container under refrigeration. One pound fits into a one quart mason jar.
