Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 One thing to point out with chlorella is that it is a green algae (not blue green) and has a massive cellulose cell wall that some people find very hard to digest. That is, however, probably the reason it is good at removing mercury. However, since chlorella is grown in huge cement ponds, minerals have to be artificially added to the growing environment, whereas a fresh water blue green algae has naturally occurring minerals. If you decide to eat algae, a few questions you want to ask the company are: Do they use high heat to dry it? (heat destroys the micronutrients and enzymes) Does their facility pass USDA inspections? Do they test for pheophorbides? (toxic breakdown of chlorophyll) - request verification of this Do they conduct heavy metal analyses? Bacterial testing? Pesticide testing? Does it have bioavailable B12, or just the analog which may cause pernicious anemia.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Some people find that chlorella is very hard to digest due to its tough cell wall. So be aware that you *may* end up with stomach distress. Chlorella is grown in Western US in big cement ponds, and is only as good as what some scientist feeds it. You would be better off getting the wild grown algae which lives off of 35 feet of mineral-rich sediment in the lake it comes from. So naturally, it has way more nutrients (known and unknown) in it. The array of nutrients found in it is not limited by those minerals artificially added to the growing environment. Vitamin B12 - The majority of B12 found in chlorella is not bioavailable. Even worse is that the B12 can block true B12 coming from other sources. It's kind of like a wrong sized and shaped peg crammed into a hole that's too small for it. This analog gets stuck at the receptor site and then the correct peg/B12 can't get through because of what's blocking its way. This has the potential to induce pernicious anemia if " too " much chlorella is taken! The wild algae has bioavailable B12. Essential fatty acids are in the wild - especially the omega 3's that are so difficult to get from your daily diet. Chlorella does not have the fatty acids because it is considered warm water algae. Protein - Algae lives in filamentous colonies. However, only the wild algae contains heterocysts. Heterocysts are specialized cells inside the colony which are able to convert normally unavailable dissolved nitrogen, a building block of protein, to a usable form. Thus, nitrogen is not a limiting factor for growth, which means that it contains a high protein content.

And I buy it wholesale from the www.vitacost.com site. It comes as 200mg tablets, 600 to a bottle and I take 15 of them, twice a day. I know that Dr. Mercola highly recommends the Yaeyama kind on his site, so I was so pleased that I found it for wholesale cost:) Lynn ______________________ ______________________ ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
