What is Chlorella Although it is relatively unknown in the US, chlorella is used extensively in the orient. In fact, Chlorella is the #1 selling health food supplement sold in Japan. It is estimated that over 10 million people around the world take chlorella. Chlorella is a unique single-celled fresh water green algae. Being a whole food, chlorella contains a balance of phytonutrients and co-factors beneficial to overall restoration and maintenance of health. Chlorella contains a high concentration of chlorophyll, nucleic acids, amino acids, enzymes, and vitamins and minerals. Chlorella is classified as a "eukaryote," which biologically is algae and complex plants with true defined nuclei. Chlorella should not to be confused with spirulina and blue green-algae (a misnomer - it is not an algae). Spirulina and blue green algae are "prokaryotes" and are in the same biological group as bacteria, thus they are often referred to as "cyanobacteria" Chlorella is the most researched "green product" resulting in the greatest number of published reports. Studies report on numerous health benefits including improved immune system function, and detoxification of harmful toxins. According to the researchers "Chlorella has one of the highest Chlorophyll contents of any known plant." Chlorophyll has been the subject of some recent research regarding prevention of certain types of cancer (See "the Chlorophyll Connection"). This may in part explain numerous published studies findings on Chlorella's ability to exert "anti-tumor activity". Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) is a water soluble extract containing concentrated amounts of substances found in the nucleus of the chlorella cell including amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, sugars and nucleic acids. This substance is most closely associated with reported accelerated wound healing. The Benefits That Chlorella Can Provide According to the scientific studies and reports from many health professions, like Dr, David Steenblock and Dr. Bernard Jensen, Chlorella is effective in: Detoxifying toxins:< such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, pesticides, insecticides; P.C.B. from our body. (Some of these chemicals are present in our polluted environment and our food chains that get into our body either knowingly or unknowingly. This can be dangerous to our health.) Chlorella stimulates the immune system. It has been shown that the hot extract of chlorella stimulates the production of interferons. The substance responsible for this is known as chlorellan which resides in the chemical group of very large branched polysaccharides. This group has been receiving great attention lately for their interferon stimulating qualities. This substance stimulates macrophage activity, thus functioning as an immune stimulant. There are many other papers that have been written on the immune function of chlorella. Wound healing. Pancreatitis Pyorrhea (bleeding of the gums and loose teeth) P.M.S.
