What is Chlorella?
Chlorella is a spherical unicellular freshwater algae, a micro-organism that appeared on earth about 2.5 billion years ago. It is distinguished from other plants by an exceptional concentration of chlorophyll (3 to 5%), which explains its remarkable detoxifying power, which stimulates, among other things, the activity of the liver. It has a high percentage of protein (about 50%) and contains a high proportion of antioxidants that inhibit cell oxidation.
Chlorella is also considered a "superfood" because it is rich in protein, iron, dietary fiber, B vitamins, calcium, omega-3, antioxidants, minerals and complex carbohydrates. These nutrients can help prevent iron deficiency during pregnancy. Chlorella is also used to treat high cholesterol, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia and depression.
