cleanse your intestines and improve your digestive system due to presence of such digestive enzymes as chlorophyllase and pepsin. Food Science observes: “Packed with nutrients and pro- motes good health. This green algae grows in freshwater ponds and is com- mon in South East Asia. It was discov- ered by a Dutch microbiologist in 1890 and was examined as a possible source of protein by German scientists. However, it was only globally stud- ied after the Second World War in an attempt to feed people cheaply, but it was found to be uneconomic. Later on, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) assessed it to be an ideal food for astronauts … To be used as a supplement, chlorella must be dried to a paste, crushed to a fine powder, and turned to tablets.”
According to Medical News Today, one little-known advantage is that
the
protein in chlorella can be absorbed quite well, making it an excellent protein source for vegans. Additionally, a 2015 study found that:
“B-12 taken from chlorella helped
to improve the health markers of 17 vegans and vegetarians between the ages of 26 to 57 years old with a his- tory of B-12 deficiency. This result sug- gests that the body effectively absorbs the B-12 found in chlorella, making the alga a useful option for vegans and vegetarians with vitamin B-12 defi- ciency.”
How Chlorella Benefits Your Body There are many more functions, how-
ever. For example, chlorella can:
• Help boost your immunity, especially in healthy people, and have “a positive effect on immunity-related cell activity.” Because it contains anti-inflammatory properties, it can help your body resist infection. In fact, studies have shown that it reduced cancer cells in animal studies, and may even kill cancer cells that al- ready exist in a process known as apop- tosis or programmed cell death.
• Increase energy; one case in point is a study that showed how chlorella de- creased fatigue in breast cancer patients (as well as improving skin health). An- other study indicated that effects of
• Improve brain function. Because chlo- rella contains vitamin B12 (and is in fact one of the few plant-based sources), magnesium and amino acids, brain func- tion is also positively impacted. This not only may prevent the oxidative stress that can bring about age-related cognitive decline, but may also reduce memory loss, another study indicated.
Chlorella for Detoxification —
Mercury, Lead, Chemo and Radiation One of the most important functions
of chlorella is its ability to detox your body
chlorella included “increased vitality and decreased levels of fatigue.
• Boost your metabolism, which can help your body resist weight gain via complete nourishment. Your body may help you feel satisfied after meals and keep crav- ings at bay. In addition, participants in one study revealed a reduction in the percentage of body fat. Another study found it may also inhibit the growth of fat cells to help fight obesity. Along the same lines, chlorella may also help manage blood sugar levels, as a 2013 study also found that ingesting it prevented fat cell growth and blood fat levels, which improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.
• Promote the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria and otherwise improve gut health and intestinal flora to reduce diarrhea . This premise was supported by a recent study in France, which found that chlorella may have the potential to treat mild indigestion and similar disor- ders, possibly by stimulating digestive enzyme activity.
of harmful substances such as pesticides and heavy metals such as mercury. Dental fillings and contaminated seafood are two of the leading causes of mercury poisoning today, but it can also occur with all forms of mercury — elemental, vapor, inorganic and organic, Mayo Clinic explains. One study showed that chlorella given to pregnant mice not only lowered mer- cury levels from their own blood and brains, but their offspring as well. One reason the study is so important is because pregnant women can transfer their mer- cury toxicity to their babies. The damage can include a number of serious problems for mothers, and central nervous system damage, kidney damage and neuron de- generation in the infants. One strategy people use for successful
detoxification is a twofold approach, such using chlorella in conjunction with cilan- tro, a fragrant herb often associated with Mexican or Indian dishes and known to have a number of potent health benefits all on its own.
Chlorella can also be helpful against
radiation damage, particularly in those undergoing chemotherapy, because not only will chemo kill cancer cells, it can also have devastating effects on healthy white blood cells, which can weaken your immune system, thereby increasing your risk for infection. Health Line notes: “Older research suggests that the
chlorophyll found in chlorella helps protect the body against these harmful effects. For example, one 1990 study showed that people who took chlorella supplements during chemotherapy experienced less respiratory infections and flu-like illnesses.”
Chlorella is also being tested for its ability to protect against damaging radia- tion from the sun. For the purpose of de-
