BEWIT BIO CHLORELLA PYRENOIDOSA, TABLETS

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).
• Children: 4 tablets 3 times a day (daily intake of Chlorella 3 g).

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. ThIS product is not intended to replace a good varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of children. Not intended for children under 3 years of age. Keep dry and protect from heat and direct sunlight.
