Chlorella vulgaris
Detoxifying green algae rich in chlorophyll and binding compounds
About Chlorella
Chlorella is a single-celled green freshwater algae renowned for its exceptionally high chlorophyll content and its unique ability to bind to heavy metals and toxins, supporting the body's natural detoxification. Like spirulina, it is a complete protein and nutrient powerhouse, but its tough cell wall must be 'cracked' to make its nutrients bioavailable. Research suggests it may support immune function, detoxification, and healthy cholesterol levels.
Key benefits
- Binds to heavy metals and toxins, supporting natural detoxification

How to use
Always choose 'cracked cell wall' chlorella for absorption. Start with 1 tsp (about 3 g) daily and build up gradually to avoid digestive upset. Blend into smoothies or take as tablets (3-5 g daily). Best taken with food.
Did you know?
Chlorella was one of the first life forms with a true nucleus to appear on Earth, around 2 billion years ago. After World War II, it was seriously researched as a potential solution to world hunger because it can double its biomass in under 24 hours under ideal conditions.
