As foods go, chlorella is among the elite few that reside in the " Near

Perfect " category. For a simple single cell algae plant coming from

fresh water, chlorella's range of benefits is astounding. Chlorella

will help you:

 

* Build your immune system

* Detoxify the heavy metals and other pesticides in your body

* Improve your digestive system, including decreasing constipation

* Focus more clearly and for greater duration

* Improve your energy level

* Balance your body's pH

* Normalize your blood sugar and blood pressure

* Eliminate bad breath

* Fight cancer

 

Chlorella is a whole-food, unlike most commercial vitamins. While it

contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, chlorella is

superior to vitamin supplements in many ways.

 

Over the past several years, pioneering research led by Dietrich

Klinghardt, MD, Ph.D, one of the world's most knowledgeable physicians

in mercury detoxification, has shed a blinding light on chlorella's

amazing detoxifying properties.

 

 

Chlorella is natural and the vitamins and minerals in it are

bio-chelated, which means they are naturally wrapped in amino acids so

the body will more readily take them in. Supplements, meanwhile, are

nothing more than an amalgam of concentrates and extracts that have

been artificially stitched together because -- at least on paper --

they look like they should provide balanced nutrition. As a

whole-food, chlorella provides the body with a stunning amount of

nutrients that are naturally balanced and won't accumulate in your

body and become toxic -- yet another reason they are superior to any

man-made vitamin supplement.

 

Chlorella is also the superior of the three algae and two cereal

grasses commonly available: chlorella, spirulina, blue-green algae,

wheat grass and barley grass. All five are excellent sources of

nutrients, but chlorella is much higher in chlorophyll content than

the others. Its tough cell walls also provide advantages above the

other four, including an outstanding ability to eliminate toxins,

pesticides and heavy metals from the body. But chlorella's nucleus,

containing chlorella growth factor with its great rejuvenating

effects, is what truly sets it apart from the others.

 

 

 

My recommended dosage is generally three grams per day. As each

capsule contains 450 mg, that is usually between 6-7 capsules per day,

I recommend taking the chlorella with meals.

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: When your body detoxifies from heavy metals and other

pollutants, you may experience a period of discomfort as these

pollutants are " flushed " from your system. Because chlorella is such a

powerful heavy metal detoxifier, I urge you to begin your chlorella

regime gradually over the first few days and build up to my

recommended dosage.

 

If you experience fatigue, lethargy, irritability, nausea or other

uncomfortable symptoms when starting with chlorella, try reducing the

amount you are taking and build up even more slowly, as these may be

symptoms associated with your body cleansing itself of heavy metals.

However, if the symptoms are severe, or if they persist despite very

low initial quantities of chlorella for the first few days, stop your

chlorella regime and discuss with your personal medical practitioner.

 

Also please note that if you are a protein metabolic type than you

these problems might be more severe and you should start much more

slowly with one-half or even one-quarter capsule and increase the dose

very carefully and slowly. Carb types seem to do much better with

cholorella.
