CHLORELLA:
Very Nutritious
Chlorella’s impressive nutritional profile has led some to call it a “super food.” While packs several beneficial nutrients.
•Protein: Chlorella is 50–60% protein. What’s more, it’s a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids.
•Vitamin B12: Some chlorella varieties may also contain vitamin B12, but more studies are needed.
•Iron and vitamin C: Chlorella can be a good source of iron. Depending on the supplement, it may provide anywhere from 6–40% of your daily need. It’s also an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps you absorb iron.
•Other antioxidants: These tiny green cells provide a wide range of antioxidants.
•Other vitamins and minerals: Chlorella provides small amounts of magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium, calcium, folic acid and other B vitamins.
•Omega-3s: As with other algae, chlorella contains some omega-3s. Just 3 grams of chlorella delivers 100 mg of omega-3s.
•Fiber: In large quantities, chlorella can be a good source of fiber. However, most supplements don’t provide even 1 gram of fiber per dose.
•Binds to Heavy Metals, Aiding Detox
•Enhance Your Immune System
•Acts as an Antioxidant
•Helps Improve Cholesterol
•      Promotes eye health: Chlorella contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that protect the eye and lower the risk of macular degeneration.
•Supports liver health: Chlorella supplements have been shown to improve markers of liver health in people with liver disease. However, it’s not clear whether there’s a benefit for healthy.
•Improved digestion: Many sources claim chlorella eases digestion and reduces bloating. However, no studies have assessed these proposed benefits.
•Relieves PMS: Anecdotal evidence says that chlorella can relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It could be a stretch, but chlorella contains calcium and B-vitamins, both of which have been shown to reduce PMS
