Chlorella, a single-cell fresh water algae, is one of the oldest forms of plant life on Earth. Native to Taiwan and Japan, it contains more life-supporting chlorophyll than any other green plant.
Japan, a country renowned for the longevity of its people, is one of the biggest producers and consumers of chlorella. Chlorella remains one of the most popular – if not, the most popular – dietary supplement in Japan today.
Chlorella – Chlorella vulgaris – is often called a ‘superfood’ not only for its high levels of chlorophyll, but also its well-balanced ratios of nutritional compounds.
Containing 50 to 60% protein, this super green food is a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. In fact, it’s often referred to as a near-perfect food offering a wide array of potential health benefits.
How Chlorella Can Potentially Benefit Your Health
Superfood chlorella is rich in many nutrients: chlorophyll, antioxidants, polysaccharides and proteins. This total package allows chlorella to support your health in many important ways:
- Supports your normal detoxification processes*
- Supports your immune system health*
- Helps maintain blood sugar levels already in the normal range*
- Helps support normal liver function*
- Helps maintain blood pressure levels already in the normal range*
- Helps maintain healthy blood lipid values, such as cholesterol and triglycerides*
- Helps protect against the negative effects of oxidative stress*
- Supports healthy cognitive function*
- Supports optimal metabolism*
As you can see from this long list, chlorella can play a key role in maintaining your good health.*
Now, let’s take a closer look at what’s inside chlorella…
This Little-Known Complex in Chlorella May Play a Big Role in Supporting Your Health*
Located in the nucleus of the single-celled chlorella is a unique complex called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). It’s rich in nucleic acids RNA and DNA, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, polysaccharides and beta glucans.
CGF is exclusive to chlorella and is not found in spirulina or any other microalgae. It’s produced during photosynthesis and accounts for chlorella’s extremely rapid growth – can quadruple every 20 to 24 hours.
The RNA and DNA in CGF, along with its chlorophyll and glutathione content, has been shown to support cellular health.*
As you age, your body may produce less RNA and DNA, slowing down your cellular processes. The walls of your cells, which transport nutrients and wastes can become less functional. When you eat foods rich in RNA and DNA, you may help support your own cellular health.
The CGF in chlorella with its abundant RNA and DNA, along with its chlorophyll and other components like beta glucans and glutathione:
- Support your cell’s energy production.*
- Promote tissue repair and recovery from exercise.*
- Support healthy cellular aging.*
- Support your normal detoxification processes.*
- Support your immune health.*
- Support digestive health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.*
- Support an already healthy inflammatory response.*
- Support cardiovascular health, including blood pressure levels already in the normal range.*
Because about one-eighth of chlorella is CGF, chlorella is an excellent natural source of CGF. One Japanese researcher found that chlorella consists of 10% RNA and 3% DNA, making it the most concentrated source of nucleic acids in the world – 17 times more concentrated than sardines, the next best source.
However, as potentially beneficial as chlorella may be, your ability to benefit from it depends upon its cell walls…
Why Chlorella’s Bioavailability Depends on Its Cell Walls
One of the main challenges with being able to take advantage of chlorella’s benefits involves the plant’s cell wall.
In its natural form, chlorella has a tough cell wall, which makes it difficult to digest and absorb. Therefore, to be properly absorbed and utilized, the cell wall must be broken or weakened.
You can accomplish this in two different ways. One way is by using a process that breaks open the plant’s cell wall to help unlock chlorella’s nutritional bounty.
The downside of this method is potential damage to chlorella’s fragile nutrients. If you choose broken cell wall chlorella, make sure you get it from a high-quality manufacturer that can guarantee no harm has been done to the nutrient potential.
Another way to make chlorella more usable is through fermentation. The fermentation process degrades the cell wall. It is not manually “broken” like other chlorella products.
With fermentation, you get chlorella that is more digestible but without the harsh physical process which can damage the cells and degrade the nutrients.
How Fermentation Makes Food and Nutrients Easier to Digest and Utilize for Potential Benefits
Humans have been fermenting foods for thousands of years for preservation and for increasing their digestibility, nutrition and flavor.
In recent years, researchers have discovered fermentation enhances certain nutritional and health aspects of foods, including:
- Pre-digesting complex foods
- Increasing levels of certain nutrients
- Improving mineral and antioxidant bioavailability
- Reducing anti-nutrients like phytic acid and lectins
- Creating unique metabolites not present in the raw material
There are different types of fermentation that can benefit your health. To learn more about how fermentation affects the nutrients in foods and supplements, including Fermented Chlorella, watch the video below:
How Our Fermented Chlorella Can Help You Get the Most From This Superfood
We’ve formulated our Fermented Chlorella to help you get the most out of chlorella’s valuable benefits. Our formula:
- Is highly-digestible and bioavailable due to its soft, thin chlorella cell membranes created by fermentation.
- Provides chlorophyll, CGF, beta glucans and all the other important compounds in chlorella.
- Is cultivated and produced year-round in a sterilized indoor environment to avoid toxins and other contaminants.
- Is formulated without any synthetic or GMO ingredients.
- Produced according to strict quality control measures.
Our Fermented Chlorella also contains an added Trace Mineral Complex from two varieties of marine red algae: Lithothamnion glaciale and Lithothamnion tophiforme, harvested from the North Atlantic seabed, to help you fulfill your trace mineral needs.
You can’t be too careful when choosing a chlorella product. Not all producers pay attention to the bioavailability or usability of the finished product, or the nutrients lost when creating broken cell chlorella.
Some cultivate their chlorella outdoors in uncontrolled environments, such as ponds, which can risk contamination with heavy metals and toxins.
How Indoor-Cultivation Provides a Cleaner Chlorella with Low Levels of Heavy Metals and Contaminants
Our Fermented Chlorella is produced indoors in a closed, sterilized bio-reactor. High-density fermentation of chlorella in a bioreactor yields a contamination-free and milder-smelling chlorella with low heavy metals.
This advanced closed tank cultivation method provides many advantages:
- The chlorella is kept clean because it is under strictly sterilized and controlled systems throughout processing.
- High-quality chlorella can be consistently produced year-round, regardless of weather.
- It produces consistent, reliably high yields of chlorella.
Because the chlorella is cultivated in a sterilized environment indoors, the risk of heavy metal and other toxin contamination is significantly reduced.
Chlorella grown in a closed system naturally grows a softer, thinner cell wall because it doesn’t need to produce a more rigid hard shell for protection against toxins. The thinner cell wall is easily broken and does not require milling like regular chlorella, eliminating the loss of nutrients and improving digestibility to about 80%.
