What is Chlorella?

• A microscopic, single celled freshwater plant regarded as one of Nature’s green superfoods.
• One of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet
• Contains more chlorophyll than any other known plant
• Contains an abundance of key vitamins, macro and trace minerals, anti-oxidants, all of the essential amino acids, protein, nucleic acids, essential fatty acids and much more.
• It is the most common supplement taken by the longest living race on earth, the Japanese.
• A truly wonderful, cleansing and health giving whole food supplement to include in your diet as a complement to our increasingly nutrient deficient western diet.

Why take it?

Complete Protein
Chlorella is a complete protein (58% by weight), containing all the essential amino acids. It is particularly high in Lysine know to be a powerful anti viral agent.

Vitamins
Chlorella contains all the B Vitamins group (including B12), vitamins C and E. It is also one of the best sources of bio available blood building dietary iron.

Source of Anti-oxidants
Chlorella is a perfect source of Nucleic Acids (found in RNA and DNA) which assist in cellular renewal, growth and repair and is abundant in phyto-nutrients and anti oxidants that can help protect against free radicals and a large number of environmental and dietary pollutants.

Detoxifying
The detoxification action that is attributed to Chlorella is primary due to its extremely high chlorophyll content. Chlorella is an alkaline food which counters the over acidity of many processed foods, thereby greatly assisting metabolic function. Chlorella’s uniqueness is that it helps rid the body of heavy mentals and other environmental and food bound toxins.

How much to take?

Consumption levels will vary according to individual activity levels, state of health and age. However, as a rule of thumb:

Start up: 1 gram per day for one week.

Maintainance: 1.5 to 2 grams per day.

Optimum: 1.5 grams three times daily or 4.5 per day.

Best taken: At or after meals with fluid (water or fruit juice).

Children: Half a normal adult dose. Teenagers can take amounts closer to the adult range.

You can take chlorella either with every meal or once a day as a whole food supplement.

Perfect as a broad spectrum green / blue algae superfood when blended with Synergy Spirulina.

On rare occasions, individuals can demonstrate initial sensitivity to chlorella and a ‘cleansing’ reaction can be experienced. This reaction (if it happens) is normally recognised by intestinal cramping, gas and possibly either constipation or diarrhoea. If this is experienced, it can usually be dealt with by starting on as little as 1 tablet a day and increasing the amount by an extra tablet every 2 to 3 days.
