The Health Benefits of Chlorella
by Jennifer Good     This week our exploration into all things healthy finds us exploring a green algae known as Chlorella. The name is taken from the Greek chloros, which means green, and the Latin suffix ella, meaning small. Many people believed Chlorella could serve as a potential source of food and energy because its photosynthetic efficiency can, in theory, reach 8%, comparable with other highly efficient crops such as sugar cane. It has been considered an attractive potential food source because it is high in protein and other essential nutrients; when dried, it is about 60% protein, 9% fat, 22% carbohydrate, 5% fiber, and 9% minerals, vitamins, and chlorophyll.1
In addition to being a great source of protein and all round nutrition, chlorella also has some very specialized benefits. It gets its name from the high amount of chlorophyll it possesses. Chlorella contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant. This makes chlorella great for blood cleansing and a great stimulator for the production of red blood cells in the body.
Chlorella is also a powerful detoxification aid for heavy metals and pesticides. It possesses the capacity to absorb heavy metals. This property has been exploited as a means for treating industrial effluent that contains heavy metals before it is discharged, and to recover the bio-available fraction of the metal in the process. More to the point, in studies undertaken in Germany, high doses of chlorella have been found to be very effective in eliminating heavy metals from the body – from the brain, intestinal wall, muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, and bone.
Numerous research projects in the U.S. and Europe indicate that chlorella can also aid the body in breaking down persistent hydrocarbon and metallic toxins such as mercury, cadmium and lead, DDT, and PCB while boosting the immune system response. In Japan, interest in chlorella has focused largely on its detoxifying properties - its ability to remove or neutralize poisonous substances from the body.
Chlorella can also stimulate the activity of macrophages and T-cells by increasing interferon levels thus enhancing the immune system's ability to combat foreign invaders whether they are viruses, bacteria, chemicals, or foreign proteins. In addition, some studies have shown that chlorella tends to normalize blood sugar in cases of hypoglycemia.
Note: People prone to allergies to seafood may also display allergies to chlorella. Also make sure you buy chlorella from a trusted source that grows their chlorella in a clean environment – otherwise the chlorella may already be carrying toxic metals that it absorbed while being grown.
