This freshwater algae has a higher chlorophyll content than any other plant, including alfalfa. Considered by many to be useful in detoxifying the body, chlorella is said to absorb toxins in the body, remove alcohol from the liver, treat viral and bacterial infections, and relieve constipation. Chlorella can also be mixed with water to form a paste that can be applied topically to aid in healing cuts and wounds.
Chlorella contains comparable nutrients to that of spirulina – high in protein, amino acids, and beta-carotene – but has twice the amount of chlorophyll and nucleic acid. Chlorella is more difficult to harvest and process than other blue-green algae, which drives up the price of chlorella considerably. However, due to its high nutrient content, less is needed to experience results. Chlorella is available in powder and capsule form.
