DEAR SPROUTMAN: What are the benefits of eating chlorella?
DEAR SUE: Chlorella is a Superfood with an ancient past. She is a single-celled, round green algae that has been around for 2.5 billion years. In terms of nutrition, chlorella is 50 – 60% protein (soy is 39%, wheat is 10%, and rice is 7%). Chlorella contains all the amino acids – both essential and nonessential – in excellent balance, making it comparable with any animal protein. It is also especially high in vitamin A (in the form beta-carotene), iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. Just like this
Chlorella has 5 times more chlorophyll and more vitamin A than spirulina. (Spirulina, on the other hand, is 60 – 70% protein and has more vitamin B12). Although wheat grass and barley grass are 50% protein and contain the highest amount of chlorophyll of all land-grown plants, they only have about one-fifth the chlorophyll of chlorella, which is grown in fresh water.
Hi there,
The Sproutman is correct! Chlorella is one of the best foods on the planet. It’s the biggest selling food supplement in Japan and they have the highest age expectancy rates in the world.
It’s a great way boost your detox programme. It has the highest content of chlorophyll of any food on the planet. Chlorophyll is a natural blood cleanser and can get rid of toxins from your system. Chlorella also has an ability to grab hold of toxins and impurities and flush them from your body, particularly heavy metals, and people for years, especially celebrities use chlorella to really give their detox a boost.
You can get chlorella in a powder or capsule form from most health shops. For the best results, use a 100% natural chlorella supplement, which means no man made additives.
Hope that helps
SJ
