Or so they say. Of course it is plant-like and dark green, but it's not spinach. The apparent super food of our time is a single-celled micro-algae which is cultivated in fresh water ponds. Eck.


Chlorella was identified in 1890 by a Dutch microbiologist, Martinus W. Beijerinck. It is the number one selling health food supplement in Japan. Yaeyama Chlorella helps boost energy levels while it supercharges your immune system. Yaeyama Chlorella also removes toxins from the body, promotes healthy brain and memory function, digestion, muscle and joint health and cardiac function while supporting healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It cleanses the colon, blood, kidneys, lungs and liver.

Obviously you're not eating algae out of the pond. You take this in pill form just like you would any other vitamin or mineral supplements.

If it boosts immune systems and memory I might need to give it a try. I mean anything than can stimulate healing and improve your biological response to illness is something worth giving a shot, right?

In my research I have come across some people who are not fans of chlorella. Their reasoning is because if you end up taking contaminated chlorella it can cause harm. It is also not good for people who naturally have high amounts of sulfur in their system.

Pros and cons exist for nearly everything. I think if you were able to find this supplement from a store or brand you trusted than it would be worth a shot to give it a try.
