Chlorella is a type of green algae that is oftentimes found as a fine powder. Some scientists believe that this single celled algea may be among the Earth's oldest living organisms. However, it wasn’t until the 1960’s that chlorella was discovered as a tool of good health by Japanese scientists. Natural health enthusiasts know chlorella intimately as an excellent source of overall wellness.
The chlorella used in our capsules has a cracked outer cell wall which is broken by a high impact cryogenic jet-spray process. This process pulverizes the algae wall for enhanced digestibility. It is grown in outdoor secluded, concrete-lined ponds in one of Japan's two primary reef areas and is fully protected from industrial pollutants.
