Chlorella has been more thoroughly researched than any other food in history - with thousands of research papers from medical institutions scientific journals and universities.
Yet, it was only during the 1960's that Japanese scientists began to look at Chlorella in the context of health - as a detoxifier, immune stimulator and as an excellent source of general nutrition.
The word Chlorella derives from two Latin words meaning leaf (green) and small referring to the unusually high content of chlorophyll which gives Chlorella its characteristic deep emerald-green colour.
- Chlorella has a number of properties which are helpful to organs and tissues that have been injured by a variety of causes
- Called the Great Normaliser, putting body functions that are out of balance back in harmony
- Aids the body in the breakdown of persistent hydrocarbon and metallic toxins such as DDT, PCB, mercury, cadmium and lead while strengthening the immune system response
- The fibrous materials in Chlorella will also improve digestion and promote the growth of beneficial aerobic bacteria in the stomach
- Nutri-Health's Chlorella is in easy to take tablet form
Algae are a group of one-celled plants containing no true root stem or leaf. Chlorella is a particular fresh-water algae which contains a host of health building nutrients. In addition to chlorophyll, it contains Vitamins, Minerals, Dietary Fibre, Nucleic Acids, Amino Acids, Enzymes, CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor) and other substances.
Under the favourable growth conditions of strong sunlight, pure water and clean air, Chlorella multiplies at an incredible rate, with the complete reproduction cycle taking less than 24 hours.
Chlorella has a number of properties which are helpful to organs and tissues that have been injured by a variety of causes. It has been demonstrated to promote liver health, and has been called the Great Normaliser, putting body functions that are out of balance back in harmony.
Although some positive effects of taking Chlorella may be felt immediately such as correcting constipation and bad breath, Chlorella's full nutritive and detoxifying prowess can take 3-6 months to be fully appreciated.

Best before a meal to aid with digestion.
Chlorella belongs to a very small yet powerful group of foods known as ‘Nutraceuticals’, and Spirulina is also in that group. Both Nutri-Health’s Chlorella and Spirulina are very particular strains of algae.
The Chlorella is a strain of algae known as Chlorella Pyrensoida.
From a single pure source this algae has been reproduced for thousands of generations. This insures the integrity of the strain's purity will stay intact without degenerating. Chlorella promotes growth which is believed to be related to Chlorella's capacity to stimulate the healing process in the body and stifle many diseases. This is most likely related to its nucleic acid content because substances in Chlorella that accelerate growth in young people promote repair of damaged tissue in mature animals and humans.
Chlorella contains growth-promoting substances making it valuable as an ingredient in breads and fermented drinks. If Chlorella extract is added to the dough before yeast fermentation the visual appearance and flavour of the loaf is enhanced while keeping the bread fresher for a longer period.
Chlorella can also be added to wine, cakes, cookies, cheese, ice cream, mayonnaise, pasta and rice to enhance flavour and nutritive value.
Chlorella has a strengthening effect on body cells by strengthening our metabolic pathways. Chlorella has an abundance of RNA & DNA that are associated with anti-ageing.
Numerous research projects in the USA and Europe indicate that Chlorella can also aid the body in the breakdown of persistent hydrocarbon and metallic toxins such as DDT PCB mercury cadmium and lead while strengthening the immune system response.
In Japan interest in Chlorella has focused largely on its detoxifying properties - its ability to neutralise or remove poisonous substances from the body. Other research programs have indicated that regular use of Chlorella helps guard against heart disease; reduce high blood pressure and lower serum cholesterol levels.
There is no other green plant on earth that is more beneficial to the human body and mind than Chlorella. As a perfect food Chlorella has no peers.
Analysis shows that Chlorella Pyrensoidosa contains a comparable variety of minerals vitamins and amino acids to other algae: Chlorella is a plant with 5 to 10 times the chlorophyll content of any other algae.
Chlorella has a tough indigestible cell wall which detoxifies the body by binding with heavy metals as it passes through. Sporopollenin which is only present in Chlorella Pyrensoida acts in the same detoxifying way. Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) unique to Chlorella causes the benign lactobacillus which is crucial to digestion to multiply at four times the normal rate and also accelerates the re-growth of damaged tissue.
This promotes rapid growth in children and builds up immune systems perhaps better than any whole-food single nutritional product.
Nutri-Health's Chlorella is sourced and produced in Taiwan by the world's largest producer of Chlorella Pyrenoidosa.
