What is Chlorella Powder?
Chlorella is a green algae. The name Chlorella derives from two Latin
words meaning 'leaf' (green) and 'small', referring to the unusually
high content of chlorophyll (the highest of any known plant) which
gives Chlorella its characteristic deep emerald-green color. Algae are a
group of one-celled plants, containing no true root, stem or leaf. This particular fresh-water, single celled microscopic plant contains a
host of health building nutrients. In addition to chlorophyll- it
contains vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, nucleic acids, amino acids, and enzymes.
Following global fears of an uncontrollable population boom, during the
late 1940s and the early 1950s, Chlorella was seen as a new and
promising primary food source and as a possible solution to the then-current world hunger crisis. Many people during this era thought that
world hunger was a growing problem and saw Chlorella as a way to
end this crisis by being able to provide large amounts of high quality
food for a relatively low cost.
Like Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (blue
green algae), clinical studies on Chlorella suggest effects
including dioxin detoxification in
humans
and animals,
healing from radiation exposure in animals
and the ability to reduce high blood pressure, lower serum cholesterol
levels, accelerate wound healing, and enhance immune functions in
humans. However, the use of Chlorella for healing effects has received
criticism.
Our Chlorella has a cracked cell wall, which allows for easier absorption into the bloodstream of chlorella's nutrients.

Q:
Are the cell walls are cracked or not?
A:
Yes, it is cracked cell wall chlorella using the Pressure Release method. Due to the sudden extreme changes in pressure in the chamber the cell wall ruptures.
