About Chlorella

Chlorella is a nutrient-rich freshwater algae popular in the wellness world for its exceptional health benefits. Originating in East Asia, it’s often used in powdered or tablet form for smoothies, supplements, and detox recipes. Packed with protein, essential amino acids, vitamins B12 and C, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, chlorella is celebrated for its ability to support immune health, promote digestion, and act as a natural detoxifier by binding to heavy metals in the body. Its powerful antioxidant profile helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation. While its dense nutritional content makes it a powerhouse, it’s not suitable for everyone; those with iodine sensitivity or impaired digestion may experience side effects. Always consult with a healthcare provider when incorporating new supplements. Chlorella's vibrant green color and mild flavor make it a versatile addition to modern superfood cuisines.
