Chlorella

Description

Scientists believe this single-celled alga could be one of the world’s oldest living organisms. Healthy lifestyle enthusiasts use chlorella powder for its many valuable bioactive substances. Chlorella is packed with chlorophyll – the plant’s green pigment, which has powerful antioxidant properties. Chlorophyll is also found in spinach, parsley, and green tea, but in smaller amounts.

Chlorella is a good source of protein, fatty acids, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Research shows that chlorella improves digestion by increasing the amount of beneficial microorganisms in the gut. In medicine, chlorella is often used to boost the immune system and for better overall protection of the body. By drinking a chlorophyll smoothie, your body will get magnesium, vitamins K and C, folic acid, iron, calcium, and plenty of protein.

USAGE: Chlorella powder is most commonly used in winter smoothies when fresh greens aren’t available. However, it’s a great dietary supplement in summer too. You can add it to fresh yogurts, desserts, or simply to water.

Chlorella can also be used to achieve a beautiful green hue in food products – smoothies, creams, sugar pastes, cookies, and glazes.
