WHAT IS IT?
Each 3 capsules contains 1 gram of pure premium grade broken cell Chlorella pyrenoidosa. No excipients, binders, fillers, etc. have been added.
According to the manufacturer:
"We believe that chlorella pyrenoidosa is the finest broad-spectrum dietary supplement that is available today.
This green single-cell freshwater algae is a rich and balanced source of many nutrients that are essential to health but increasingly deficient in today's diet of processed and refined foods.
Chlorella contains high levels of chlorophyll, vitamin B12, beta-carotene and RNA/DNA when compared with other whole-foods.
More than 20 vitamins and minerals are found in chlorella, including iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, pro-vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, B2, B5, B6 and B12, biotin, inositol, folic acid, plus vitamins C, E and K.
60+% of Nature's Balance Chlorella is superior protein, providing all of the dietary-essential amino acids in excellent ratios. Chlorella is also a reliable source of essential fatty acids that are required for many important biochemical functions, including hormone balance.
Nature's Balance Chlorella is cultivated outdoors in mineral-rich freshwater ponds. The entire process from strain maintenance in the laboratory to harvesting of the final product is monitored by microbiologists to ensure optimal nutrient value and product purity.
Chlorella's most outstanding feature, and one that sets it apart from other 'super foods', is its proven ability to assist the body in detoxifying harmful air-, water- and food-borne 'heavy metals' and chemical pollutants; proven contributors to many of today's common degenerative disease conditions.
In Japan, chlorella is by far the most popular nutritional supplement today, with over seven million daily users. This popularity is partly due to Government classification as a 'functional food' (a food that has scientifically proven to be beneficial within the human diet).
Chlorella is not a quick fix, but a tool to help you achieve and maintain long-term optimal health. Most users begin to feel the true benefits of chlorella once they have been taking it daily for two to three months.
As a source of assimilable essential nutrients chlorella has few, if any peers. 19 amino acids, including all eight 'essentials' are present in excellent ratios, the highest quantities of chlorophyll and RNA/DNA ever discovered within a natural source, an abundance of vitamins and minerals plus unsaturated essential fatty acids; —making chlorella a microscopic but mighty nutritional powerhouse.
Chlorella contains valuable elements beyond these macro nutrients too. It's unique phytochemical known as CGF, or Chlorella Growth Factor is believed to be responsible for many of the therapeutic effects that have been reported in scientific journals throughout the world.
Disease usually occurs in a body 'out of balance'. Your body has a remarkable capacity for self-healing; if it has adequate amounts of essential nutrients. Chlorella helps you to achieve and maintain this balance by restoring many nutrients missing from today's refined, processed foods.
Beyond the documented therapeutic effects, most users report increased energy levels, improved mental clarity, a clearer complexion, an overwhelming sense of 'well-being' and a remarkable freedom from stress-induced tensions or anxiety.
A small number of new users may experience a 'healing crisis' as their bodies adjust to chlorella and begin to shed toxins. Some misinterpret this as an allergic reaction, which although possible, is extremely rare, even among sufferers of multiple chemical sensitivity. Examples of these rare detoxification reactions are mild headaches, stomach cramps or nausea, skin blemishes or bowel irregularity.
These effects usually diminish and disappear within a week to ten days as the body adjusts and begins to work towards biochemical balance, or 'homeostasis'. The suggested daily 'health maintenance' usage is three grams, or nine capsules per day. This may sound a lot, but one must remember that chlorella is a natural whole food and not a chemically-synthesized multivitamin product.
Many people ask about the differences between chlorella and the 'blue-green' algae, or cyanobacteria. Chlorella is a true plant, having cell-walls of cellulose. 'Blue-greens' do not offer this unique detoxifying mechanism.
Chlorella's microscopic size (each cell is barely larger than a human red blood cell) allows microfine filtering which excludes any other potentially toxic strain of algae or inorganic matter, this yielding an exceptionally pure and 'clean' harvest. 'Blue-green' algae are many times larger and thus cannot be harvested using this optimal process.
Scientific justification for the regular use of chlorella as a preventative nutritional supplement is unparalleled among any of the other algae or so-called green super foods."
