Organic Chlorella from Green Foods Corporation, is a type of unicellular blue-green algae that contains an incredible amount of nutrients: proteins, beta-carotene, vitamins C and B, iron and chlorophyll. Like its popular cousin, spirulina, chlorella is popular in Japan and Taiwan, where it has long been used to support health and longevity. 100 Percent Pure Organic Chlorella: No binders, fillers, additives, or anything else that will interfere with nutritional excellence. An excellent source of vital nutrients. Useful for increasing energy and immunity. A detox and digestive aid. Organic Chlorella Can Help: Daily Nutrition Support - Chlorella, given daily, provides a high concentration of essential nutrients, including carotenoids, proteins, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins B and C, and chlorophyll. Helps in detoxification: Chlorophyll, the green compound that gives chlorella its pretty color, helps your body get rid of heavy metals, promotes optimal liver health, and even inhibits bacterial growth - three things that contribute to general detoxification. Boost Immunity - Antioxidants like Vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) and Vitamin C are used to boost your immune system, encouraging your body's positive response to stress and illness, and keeping you healthier for longer. Build Lean Muscle: Chlorella contains approximately 2 grams of protein per serving, providing a plant-based source of the building blocks your body needs to build muscle and build strength. Regulate hormones: Some studies have indicated that chlorella can regulate hormones that contribute to metabolism, circulation, and energy. Once those levels are in balance, you may find it easier to lose weight and control your cholesterol and fasting blood glucose levels.
