Chlorella FAQ’s

Improved digestion. With this you may also notice regularity, decreased body or breath odor, less bloating. This along with other more subtle improvements will occur with low doses.

In the 1950’s it was discovered that Chlorella promoted the rapid growth of healthy bacteria (lactobacillus) helping to keep the colon healthy. The chlorophyll also keeps colon clean while the fiber binds to the toxins expelling it.

Chlorella has been demonstrated to remove heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, arsenic and other toxins by actually binding with them so they may be pulled from the bloodstream. You would have to have a Hair Mineral Analysis to measure more specifically.  This is also unclear at times because the first HMA may not show heavy metals until you start pulling them (chelating) from your body. Chronic exposure of Heavy Metals will not show up in the hair as the metals bury deep into the tissue, bones, brain and other organs leaving the hair.   The metals usually show up on the second sample.

With the majority of the population exposed to mercury due to industry pollution and rainwater runoff seeping into the ground, waterways and fish, arsenic due to the exposure through public drinking water and cadmium due to second hand smoke, most people would benefit from the use of Chlorella.

It can take 3-6 months   for heavy metals to begin to be removed depending on the amount of chlorella taken, your particular health and type of exposure.  Chlorella is safe since it is a whole food. See precautions if you are on bloodthinners. It should be gradually increased to give your digestive system time to adjust. You may have a clearing response initially.

Because of the fiber content in chlorella’s cell wall and other nutritional factors, when some people begin to take chlorella for the first time they may go through cleansing reactions with some purging of the bowel.  This cleansing reaction may take the form of increased  intestinal activity such as gas, cramping, constipation or diarrhea.   This same type of cleansing reaction can occurs if you were to switch from a processed food diet low in fiber and enzymes to a whole food diet rich in fiber.

For this reason, start out with less than the suggested amount and gradually increase up to the recommended dose over 2 or more weeks.

Chlorella is a whole food and because of this you cannot take too much. It is naturally detoxifying and you may experience the cleansing reaction.

Many people find 5-7 gms to be adequate when detoxifying from metals.

Yes,  chlorella has been shown to promote  strong immune systems. Children can take 1/2 to 1/4 the adult dose depending on size

Ideally, it should  be taken in small dosages throughout the day.  Do not take after coffee or with any fiber powders.

Chlorella

Is a storehouse of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. It contains more purifying chlorophyll than any known plant, as well as highly beneficial RNA/DNA. Because of its purifying Chlorophyll it has the ability to remove toxins including metals, PCB’s and other environmental toxins, lower cholesterol and build up nutrient stores! Additionally, Chlorella is a rich source of carotenes, iron, and B-12, nutrients particularly important to vegetarians. Read more on the Power of Chlorella

Chlorella is also helpful in eliminating PCB’s, pesticides and other toxins that build up in the body. Because Chlorella is a whole food it can also be taken in conjunction with other products as it nourishes while helping your body eliminate toxins.

Chlorella is capable of detoxification due to its unique cell wall and its ability to bind to toxins such as arsenic, mercury, lead, pesticides, insecticides, cadmium, uranium, P.C.B, radio active materials. through its binding capacity, chlorella absorbs the toxins and then eliminates removing them from the body.

“…To summarize, chlorella restores bowel regularity, normalizes beneficial bowel flora, assists in detoxifying the bowel and stimulates repair of damaged, broken down tissue.” Dr. Bernard Jensen DO, PhD
