Organic Chlorella

Chlorella is a green, single cell freshwater algae. More than 20 vitamins and minerals are found in chlorella, including iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, Beta Carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and B12 (more than in beef liver), biotin, inositol, folic acid, plus vitamins C, E and K. Chlorella also contains Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Chlorella is an important source of Vitamin B12 (Watanabe, 2002), a vitamin normally originating in animal proteins and often deficient in vegetarians and vegans.

Vitamin B12 can contribute to the following:

• Normal energy yielding system
• Reduced tiredness and fatigue
• Normal red blood cell formation
• Normal homocysteine metabolism
• Normal function of the nervous system
• Normal function of the immune system
• Normal psychological function
• Cell division

  Chlorella has a distinctive structure that gives it very high anti- oxidant properties and also provides an enhancement for the body through its high nutrient content (Miranda, 2001).
