Chlorella is a genus of single-cell green algae belonging to the phylum Chlorophyta. It is a potential food source because it is high in protein and other essential nutrients; when dried, it is about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20%carbohydrate, 5% fibre, and 10% minerals and vitamins. Mass-production methods are now being used to cultivate it in large artificial circular ponds. It is also abundant in calories and vitamins.
What can all this do for us? Let’s look at the top 10 health benefits of chlorella.
1. Detoxification
Clinical studies and research have showed chlorella’s ability to detox or bind to harmful substances and move them out of the body, such as arsenic, mercury, lead, pesticides, insecticides, cadmium, uranium, P.C.B, and radio-active materials have been successfully detoxified from the human body. The toxic substance binds to the cell walls and then is escorted out. It also crosses the blood brain barrier, detoxifying heavy metals in support of healthy brain function.
2. High in Chlorophyll
Chlorella is 10% chlorophyll. The highest percentage of any plant on the planet. Chlorophyll is also similar to our blood cells and studies have shown its ability to tone the blood.
3. Enhances Blood Health
Great for immunity, alkalinity and is anti-inflammatory.
4. Healthier immune system
As part of the immune system, the body has macrophages, T-cells, and B-cells. These help maintain good health. Chlorella has been shown to stimulate these.
5. High in Minerals
Chlorella is rich in whole food vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E, and minerals, magnesium, potassium, iron and calcium.
6. High in Protein
Chlorella is a rich source of protein (65%), containing all of the essential ones that the body can’t manufacture.
7. Better digestion
Chlorella promotes the production of healthy flora, bacteria and probiotics throughout the digestive system.
8. Anti-oxidant
It is rich in natural carotenoids, which can prevent oxidation.
9. Cell health
The high DNA and RNA content of chlorella supplies the body with are biological molecules (known as nucleic acids) for cell rejuvenation and function in encoding, transmitting and expressing genetic information. One doctor has been quoted that deteriorating cells can be rejuvenated if we supply proper nutrition. He went on to say that we can look and feel 6 – 12 years younger if we keep the body well supplied with nucleic acids.
Chlorella is one of the ingredients packed into the incredibly beneficial Rain® Core supplement and we absolutely love that in one tiny packet there is so much nutrition and so many health benefits packed into it.
