About this remedy

Chlorella's unique cell wall binds to heavy metals and toxins in the digestive tract, supporting the body's natural elimination pathways. A 2009 study found chlorella increased the excretion of dioxins and supported liver detoxification. Combined with lemon for vitamin C and a base of apple, this shake makes chlorella's potent detox benefits palatable for daily use.

Preparation

Blend 1 tsp 'cracked cell wall' chlorella powder, 1 chopped apple, the juice of 1/2 lemon, a handful of spinach, and 1 cup water until smooth. Drink immediately. Start with less chlorella and build up.

Dosage

1 shake daily with food. Begin with 1 tsp chlorella and gradually increase to 1 tbsp as tolerated to avoid digestive upset.

Cautions

Always use 'cracked cell wall' chlorella for absorption. Can cause initial digestive upset, gas, or green stools (harmless). Choose tested brands. May interact with blood thinners (high vitamin K) and immunosuppressants. Avoid with iodine sensitivity.
