toxification, though, it’s important to use chlorella and other types of detoxification agents gradually, even over several months, as I did, and some people require as long as a few years to detoxify safely. In the process, while you may feel slightly unwell at times, it’s an unfortunate part of the process and worth it to rid your body of health-damaging toxins — unless the side effects become se- vere.


In the same way, lead toxicity can also be eliminated using


chlorella. An animal study in 2013 found that mice exposed to lead showed a “dramatic” reduction of 66 percent in their blood levels due to the chelating effects when both substances were given simultaneously. While mice improved by only 30 percent when there had been prior lead exposure, the effect of chlorella on lead has great potential, the study concluded.


How to Take Chlorella Supplements Because chlorella has a tough cell wall, it’s impossible to


digest it and have it do any good, so it’s processed before being sold so its nutrients can be properly absorbed. However, how the cell wall is broken is very important. If broken cell wall chlorella is unavailable, especially for detoxification, fermented chlorella has thin cell walls, so it, too, would be a good choice. When taking chlorella supplements, make sure they’re as absorbable and digestible as possible, and with no synthetic in- gredients. Also, make sure you don’t consume algae supplements that are freeze-dried or pasteurized, as they won’t contain the crucial benefit of enzymes such as these. Most chlorella supplements come in 500 milligram (mg)


tablet form, so up to five tablets a day is optimal and ending up with a total of 4 grams per day. Working your way up to that point

is wise, so you could start with a lower dose and work upward. Be aware that minor side effects may occur when taking chlo- rella supplements, including the following. Taking it with food may help prevent these problems: Diarrhea Sensitivity to sunlight Gas


Stomach cramps Green bowel movements Nausea


Further, there are times when taking chlorella may not be


safe, such as if you’re: Pregnant


Breastfeeding Immune system is low


Suffering from an autoimmune disease Suffering from a blood disorder Prone to allergies such as iodine or molds


Chlorella Compared to Spirulina Spirulina is another type of alga, often called blue-green algae.


Without saying whether one is better than the other, Healthline notes there are differences between the two:


• Chlorella has nearly twice the nucleic acids, which benefit your DNA and RNA


• Chlorella also contains twice the amount of chlorophyll • Chlorella is able to bind to heavy metals for detoxification


• Spirulina contains higher amounts of iron, protein and gamma- linolenic acid


• Spirulina has a history of helping fight allergies and boosting immunity


You may benefit from taking both of them together. Chlo- rella supplements are often attributed to helping people with so-called “lifestyle diseases” like diabetes and heart disease. Amazing Wellness noted that in one study, chlorella: “Significantly decreased risk by reducing body fat, lower-


ing cholesterol, and lowering levels of blood sugar. Research- ers observed that chlorella improved the way genes are acti- vated, leading to healthier metabolism.”

However, that does not mean you should treat this superfood as an excuse to eat all the worst foods you know are bad for you and expect chlorella to take up the slack in your damaged system. How much better would you feel and function if you ate well, and on top of that gleaned the benefits of this amazing green alga?
