CHLORELLA

Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) is a microscopic, single-celled plant that grows in fresh water and is about the same size as a human blood cell. It multiplies quickly, with a complete reproductive cycle every 20 hours. Chlorella is green algae, drawing its color from an unusually high amount of chlorophyll - more than any other known plant.

Chlorella contains an amazing amount of essential nutrients; vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids such as ALA, complete proteins, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), peptides, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, beta-glucans, chlorophyll and energy providing sugars, like mannose and rhamnose. It also contains a vast spectrum of phytochemicals including the carotenoids lutein, xanthophyll, beta-carotene and alpha-carotene.*
