Organic Clean Chlorella

Organic Clean Chlorella: This powerful and potent superfood contains massive amounts of nutrients and has Natural Killer cell activity, Interleukin-12, Interferon-γ, Interleukin-1β, Immunostimulatory effects.

There is a reason that chlorella is named a superfood. Despite its single-celled status, this freshwater algae is so rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and polysaccharides that it is imperative to a healing regimen. Let Food Be Your Medicine (Essential #1), primarily as you focus on Reducing Your Toxic Exposure (Essential #2).

How super is chlorella? It is pretty close to being the perfect natural multi-vitamin and mineral supplement, especially because the body assimilates it quickly. Research shows that chlorella:

• Delivers ten times the beta carotene of carrots and is an unusually high source of vitamin B-12.

• It offers 17 times the nucleic concentration of sardines, which is good for anti-aging and rejuvenation.

• It contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant, which increases oxygenation and helps provide magnesium to the body.

• Includes polysaccharides that are shown to be essential in boosting the immune system and the ability for cells to communicate (in particular, the presence of any rogue cells).

• It has a fibrous wall, which helps chelate to toxins in the bloodstream and gut and move them out of the body.

• It can improve cellular glutathione levels and detoxify the cells of free-radicals.

• Chlorella is 50–60% protein. What's more, it's a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids (3, 5Trusted Source).

• Chlorella contains vitamin B12.

• Chlorella can be a good source of iron. Depending on the supplement, it may provide anywhere from 6–40% of your daily needs. It is also an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps absorb iron.

• These tiny green cells provide a wide range of antioxidants.

• Chlorella provides small amounts of magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium, calcium, folic acid, and other B vitamins.

• As with other algae, chlorella contains some omega-3s. Just 3 grams of chlorella delivers 100 mg of omega-3s.

• In large quantities, chlorella can be a good source of fiber. However, most supplements don't provide even 1 gram of fiber per dose.

• Chlorella helps detox heavy metals. This is particularly important because high levels of metals (such as iron, nickel, chromium, copper, mercury, and lead) are related to Breast Cancer tumor growth.

• Detoxification is related to the fiber in chlorella and its ability to bind with toxins in the bloodstream and gut. Research shows that the chlorophyll increases cellular glutathione, one of the most potent cellular detoxifiers that are manufactured in cells.

Abstract

Background

In vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that Chlorella is a potent biological response modifier on immunity.

Methods

This study was designed for an 8-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial: 5g of Chlorella (n=23) or Placebo (n=28) in tablet form . Mainly, cytotoxic activities of Natural killer (NK) cells and serum concentrations of interferon-γ, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-12 were measured.

Results

After the 8-week, serum concentrations of interferon-γ (p<0.05) and interleukin-1β (p<0.001) significantly increased and that of interleukin-12 (p<0.1) tended to increase in the Chlorella group. The increments of these cytokines after the intervention were significantly more prominent in the Chlorella group than those in the placebo group. Also, NK cell activities (%) were significantly increased in the Chlorella group, but not in the Placebo group. The increments of NK cell activities (%) were also significantly more prominent in the Chlorella group than the placebo group. Additionally, changed levels of NK cell activity were positively correlated with those of serum interleukin-1β (r=0.280, p=0.047) and interferon-γ (r=0.271, p<0.005). Significantly positive correlations were also observed among the changed levels of serum cytokines; between interferon-γ and interleukin-1β (r=0.448, p<0.001), between interleukin-12 and interleukin-1β (r=0.416, p=0.003) and between interleukin-12 and interferon-γ (r=0.570, p<001).

Conclusion

These results may suggest a beneficial immunostimulatory effect of short-term Chlorella supplementation, which enhances the NK cell activity and produces interferon-γ and interleukin-12 as well as interleukin-1β, the Th-1 cell-induced cytokines in healthy people.

Chlorella is safe for long term use because it is a food source.
