HISTORY
ANCIENT AND UNASSUMING.
The discovery of the inconspicuous chlorella is down to the Dutch
microbiologist Mr. M. W. Beijerinck, who discovered and isolated it for the
first time in 1890. In the course of his research, however, he discovered a
close association of chlorella with the 1.5 billion-year-old Acritarch
microfossils. He thus proved that this freshwater algae had been part of the
ecosystem of this planet for an exceptionally long time. [1]
ITS WON OVER THE WORLD.
Chlorella is a food source because it is high in protein and other essential
nutrients; when dried, it is about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5%
fiber, and 10% minerals and vitamins. The biologically active substances
contained within the algae, their action and high absorption have been the
subject of many scientific studies, which continue to generate new knowledge and
present interesting conclusions. Due to its beneficial effects,
chlorella has gained fans all over the world. [2,3,4,5,6]
ORIGIN AND CULTIVATION.
PROTECTED FROM HEAVY METALS
Chlorella is a unicellular freshwater algae that needs a
warm climate, sufficient sunlight, plenty of nutrients and really clean water
for ideal growth. [1] These conditions are met because chlorella is grown in
special tanks that ensure organic growing conditions. In addition, chlorella is
protected from heavy metal pollution.
HIGH ABSORPTION ENSURED.
Chlorella harvested when it has fully matured. It is then processed through a
process called disintegration, through which the cell envelope
structures are disrupted. The disintegration process results in high absorption
and utilisation of the valuable substances contained in chlorella.
PRESSED OUT TABLETS.
After harvesting, the rich green chlorella biomass is gently dried and
pressed into solid green tablets. The shape of the tablets is achieved only by
the pressure of the device USED. Due to the naturally sticky properties of
chlorella, the pressed tablets retain their solid shape even without the use of
binders, dyes, fillers or other additives. As part of the unique processing
technology and the low temperatures maintained, chlorella is still
"alive " and retains enzymes and other valuable
substances that are sensitive to high temperatures.
COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES.
There is no Chlorella like Chlorella
Chlorella Pyrenoidosa or Chlorella Vulgaris
algae appear almost identical at first glance and yet they are very different.
Their difference lies in their composition.
Compared to Vulgaris, Chlorella Pyrenoidosa contains many more highly
branched polysaccharides. Their presence is justified, but in any case,
they may not be a suitable choice for problems with
constipation or digestion. However, in the
opposite case, you will certainly appreciate it. [7]
Slight differences were also observed in protein and other nutrient content.
So take a look at the ingredients and choose the right chlorella for you.
Phytonutrient-packed superfood
Among the minerals, it is mainly iron, iodine, manganese and
phosphorus that chlorella is sought after for its high
content. Every cell in the body will welcome the presence of pure
natural selenium.
Chlorella also has the advantage of a high content of fat-soluble
vitamin D and water-soluble vitamins B1 and B3.
Fibre, vegetable oils or easily absorbed proteins, all these
macronutrients are also present.
In addition, the characteristic green colour of chlorella is due to the
naturally present carotenoid and chlorophyll dyes. In particular,
chlorophyll A and beta-carotene. Its growth
factor has also highlighted following significant research.
FOR VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS.
Due to the contained vitamin B12 and high amounts of
iron, chlorella is also a suitable dietary supplement for
vegans and vegetarians who may have insufficient vitamins and minerals due to
their chosen dietary restrictions.
USAGE
A SIMPLE DRINK.
The tablet form of chlorella is noted for its green colour and glossy
appearance. Chlorella tablets can simply be washed down with a glass of water or
your favorite beverage. The advantage is that they are a more convenient
dosage.
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE.
- Adults: 8 tablets 3 times a day (daily intake of
Chlorella 6 g).

Chlorella 3 g).
