Aside from being very rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as being a complete source of protein, chlorella has many beneficial properties that helps facilitate detoxification so that we can dramatically reduce our toxic load.

      Healing action of chlorella

      Due to it’s dense nutrient profile and detoxifying properties, chlorella can help your body heal a variety of conditions. Some of the main benefits include:

      • Ability to detox the body from biotoxins such as tuberculosis, lyme disease, tetanus toxins, and mold. It also filters out xenobiotics like phytates, dioxins, pesticides, and industrial waste.

      • Binds and helps eliminate heavy metals like mercury, lead, nickel and aluminum.

      • Promotes production of healthy flora, bacteria, and probiotics in the digestive system, which is essential for good digestion and overall health.

        • Effective in fighting candida and yeast overgrowth.

        • A known cancer fighter, due to its incredible detoxification action and immune boosting properties.

        • Reduces body fat.

          • Elevates energy.

          • Prevents and improves diabetes and insulin resistance.

            • Reduces pain associated with arthritis and fibromyalgia.

            • Provides effective protection against heart disease.

            • Helps heal and repair tissue growth.

            With heavy metals and other toxins being a serious issue we are dealing with today, along with immune related diseases, it should be very clear that chlorella is something you require in order to start healing and feeling your best.

            How to use chlorella in your diet

            Chlorella is not particularly a versatile superfood as it mostly comes in powder form and has a very potent taste that doesn’t go with much in the way of food. However, with the benefits being so important, you really need to find a way to work it into your routine.

            The two most common ways to work chlorella into you diet is through capsules or a superfood powder. The former makes it quite easy but boring, and the latter is just as easy and can be enjoyed in smoothies without ruining the taste.
