Articles by a Naturopathic

CHLORELLA |
|
|
|
Chlorella gets its
name from the high
concentration of
chlorophyll it
contains |
|
|
Chlorella is an
edible water-grown
algae. Some
consider it a
complete food.
It contains 58%
protein,
carbohydrates, all
of the B vitamins,
vitamin C, vitamin
E, beta-carotene,
minerals and rare
trace minerals.
It is such a good
source of protein
and vitamin B12 that
it is recommended
for vegetarians or
those who cannot
tolerate meat.

Chlorella also
contains a
significant amount
of chlorophyll,
which speeds the
release of toxins
from the
bloodstream.
Chlorophyll is
useful for
increasing the
oxygenation of
tissues because a
molecule of
chlorophyll
resembles the human
hemoglobin
(oxygen-carrying)
molecule.
Finally chlorella
contains high levels
of the genetic
material RNA and DNA. Studies show that it protects against the mutagenic nature
of UV radiation.
Natural health
practitioners for a
variety of
conditions including
convalescence,
chemical or metal
toxicity, radiation
illness,
malnutrition and
malabsorption
recommend
chlorella.
As a supplement
chlorella is found
in tablets and
powder. Purchase
only products that
say broken-cell
because chlorella
contains a strong
cell wall that must
be broken to release
its nutrients.
Green food
supplements are
combinations of
medicinal foods and
herbs, and may
contain chlorella.
There are no known
toxicities, side
effects or
contraindications to
the use of
chlorella. |
