Chlorella Powder: Go Green!
'Going green' is a popular mantra in these times. While it usually applies to environmental issues, it's also good advice when it comes to food and nutrition. And one of the hottest new green superfoods is Chlorella. Chlorella is a green single-cell algae that grows in fresh water. Chlorella fossils have been found that date back 3 billion years. Chlorella has been identified as one of the most potent foods in existence and is cultivated in fresh water. Chlorella quadruples about every 24 hours'a sign of both genetic purity and it's incredible healing properties.
Chlorella functions as a dietary fiber that builds up in the body over time, binds with toxins and heavy metals and removes them from the body. But the nutrients in chlorella are blocked unless the cell wall is broken down. Thus the most effective method of providing maximum nutrition is to process Chlorella into a powder form which we offer in this online store. This also makes it easier to consume, as the strong 'green' flavor may be unpleasant to some peoples taste.
Chlorella was identified in the late 1800s, and the Japanese began studying it more closely. Much of Chlorella's current popularity is based among Japanese users. Besides containing nearly all the identified nutritional needs of the human body, it is known as an immune system builder, digestive aid, and detoxification agent. Numerous scientific studies have been performed, and not one single negative aspect has been cited in any of the studies.
Chlorella powder can also be mixed with water and applied to cuts, scrapes, and rashes to speed up the healing process. Recent studies have also indicated that Chlorella may be an effective treatment in some cancers. The nutrients in Chlorella include amino acids (protein), enzymes (including the digestive enzyme pepsin), vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates. Sixty percent of Chlorella is protein; complete protein unlike that found in beans, legumes, or nuts. The protein in Chlorella is in the form of amino acids' a more efficient protein than that found in meat, fish, and eggs, which must be broken down by the body into amino acids to make the protein usable.
While there are over 70,000 species of algae, only two; Chlorella and Spirulina offer the best neutriceutical properties. Some species of algae are quite toxic; others are consumable but don't offer the same nutritional advantages. Both Chlorella and Spirulina are potent energy sources, without the spike and letdown of sugar or caffeine.The Chlorella Growth Factor is a combination of RNA,DNA, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals which has not been fully explored. It promotes rapid growth in children; in adults it promotes rapid tissue healing and builds the immune system. Studies with identical twins revealed a dramatic difference in growth and healing in the twin given the Chlorella. Other studies which have identified that Chlorella may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of dementia and Alzheimers disease. So when you decide you want to improve your health by improving your nutrition, go green and give Chlorella a try!
