Amazing Chlorella
Chlorella is a genus of single-celled green algae, belonging to the phylum Chlorophyta and it contains the green photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll-a and -b in its chloroplast. Chlorella contains more beta-carotene than carrots, in fact, over 10 x the amount! It also has the highest chlorophyll content of any plant in the world.
Chlorella is abundantly rich in B vitamins, especially vitamin B-12. Chlorophyll is renowned for its ability to purify blood and cleanse vital organs. Chlorella cleanses our bowels and other channels of elimination as well as protecting our liver, which in turn helps to purify blood.
Scientific research has shown that chlorella has significant benefits for the bloodstream as it contains a complex molecule, which like chlorophyll, binds to heavy metals, such as cadmium and lead to effectively filter toxins from our bodies which helps to balance blood sugar and blood pressure. Our bodies consist of trillions of white blood cells that circulate in the bloodstream and science considers these cells as the body’s main defense against disease. Chlorella can assist in increasing levels of these cells, which assist in boosting the immune system.
In a word, chlorella is an all natural, whole food. It is a microscopic, green single-cell, freshwater micro-algae which is a rich source of many nutrients that are beneficial to our diet. Considering the linger effects of the Japanese nuclear disaster which has put above-normal quantities of radiation into the air and food supplies in various places across the US, the natural preventive measure of taking regular does of Chlorella just makes good health sense.
