Green Nutritionals Yaeyama Pacifica Chlorella 500mg 500T

Chlorella is an ancient single celled freshwater micro algae containing chlorophyll and many other useful phytonutrients. Thought to have had its genesis 2 billion years ago, chlorella is found naturally in freshwater rivers and waterways, but is now grown by aquaculture for human consumption.

Chlorella is unicellular which means each cell is self sufficient allowing it to perform all its functions inside itself. Each cell measures only 2.8 microns ( 1 micron = 1/1000th of a mm) about the size of a human red blood cell. Chlorella is so small that 1 litre of chlorella in a thin suspension contains over 20 billion cells.

Together with other photosynthetic micro-algae, Chlorella played an important role in converting the carbon dioxide rich atmosphere to oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Micro-algae are largely responsible for converting the Earth's atmospheres 0.1% Oxygen, content to the 20% mix we have today, allowing all current organisms to thrive.

Rich in carotenoids and chlorophyll, Chlorella contains vitamin A, all the B's, C and E, packed with minerals including potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium and contains around 55% complete balanced protein.
