Chlorella

Chlorella

Freshwater Microalga

Traditionally used for:
  • Daily energy and vitality
  • Gentle detox and cleansing support
  • Digestive and gut balance
  • Liver and blood nourishment
  • Antioxidant and cellular support

Traditional Background

Chlorella is a single-celled freshwater microalga valued as a concentrated green food. It gained popularity in Japan and Europe as a “future food” due to its dense nutritional profile and has since become widely used as a daily superfood for supporting energy, vitality, and general wellness.

When the cell wall is properly cracked, chlorella’s nutrients become more bioavailable while still maintaining its traditional role in supporting gentle cleansing within the digestive tract.

Active Constituents

Chlorophyll:
Chlorella is exceptionally rich in chlorophyll, traditionally associated with supporting blood quality, liver function, and internal cleansing.

Complete Protein & Amino Acids:
Provides a rich source of plant-based protein, including essential amino acids that support tissue repair, muscle health, and overall vitality.

Vitamins & Minerals:
Contains B-vitamins (including B12 in some preparations), iron, magnesium, and trace minerals that support energy production and daily nutrition.

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF):
A naturally occurring complex of nucleic acids and peptides associated with cellular repair and resilience in traditional chlorella use.

Traditional Uses

Detox & Cleansing Support:
Chlorella is widely used in modern wellness practices to support the body’s natural elimination pathways. Its fibrous cell wall is traditionally understood to bind substances in the gut and assist in their removal.

Energy & Vitality:
As a nutrient-dense green food, chlorella supports steady energy levels, endurance, and recovery from physical or mental stress.

Digestive & Gut Support:
Its fibre and chlorophyll content contribute to comfortable digestion, bowel regularity, and a balanced internal environment.

Immune & Antioxidant Support:
Chlorella provides antioxidant compounds that support cellular protection and overall immune resilience.
