What Is Chlorella? An Amazing Health Restoring Superfood

You might be wondering what is chlorella, and why should you include it in your diet

. Well, chlorella, also known as chlorella pyrenoidosa, is a form of green algae that is highly nutritious. It has numerous health benefits.

It is a microscopic, single celled plant that can't be seen with the naked eye. However, it multiplies quickly, splitting into 4 cells every 24 hours or so. It is very easy to grow in controlled conditions for use in supplements. Many people use this chlorella superfood in order to combat various health problems or better yet, prevent health problems.

Just why is chlorella so good for you? Well, chlorella ingredients include all sorts of vitamins and minerals, including beta carotene, riboflavin, thiamin, iron, niacin, vitamin C, vitamin B6, calcium, zinc, copper, iodine, magnesium, vitamin K, and vitamin E. This green food also contains over 60% protein, large quantities of RNA and DNA as well as the highest level of chlorophyll of any other plant.

There is also an extract from the nucleus called CGF, or chlorella growth factor. It is understood as the reason for a number of the health benefits some people have experienced since they began taking chlorella. Basically, it is a very nutritious food that contains ingredients that are thought to be able to help with the treatment and prevention of various health problems.

If you spend any time reading about chlorella, you will probably find information on all of the health conditions it is thought to be helpful for. It is thought to make our immune systems stronger, and to stimulate the growth of new tissue, which means it is helpful for healing wounds. It apparently improves digestion, protects people from toxic poisons and radiation, and even slows down the aging process.

People have attempted to use health foods that contain this green algae to treat arthritis, diabetes, cirrhosis, infections and eczema. People have used this supplement for children whose growth has been stunted, as well as those who are suffering from Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, sciatica, viruses, diabetes, manic depression, and immune deficiency disorders.

Preliminary studies show definite benefits for ulcerative colitis, hypertension, and fibromyalgia.

One of the easiest ways to add chlorella to your diet is to purchase one of the supplements that are available in various health food stores and other locations. Just look to make sure that the algae was grown in controlled conditions so that it is not likely to be contaminated with anything else.

There are a number of companies that make these supplements, so they shouldn't be too hard to find. Most people report no side effects from taking the supplements, though some people have had gastrointestinal side effects after taking certain brands. This seems to have come from contaminants than from the actual product.

If this should be the case with you, it might be a good idea to look into reviews of the different brands and find one that is less likely to cause this type of problem.
