Chlorella Broken Cell Powder Pure Blue-Green Algae (Chlorella pyrenoidosa), 500 grams
    This Chlorella pyrenoidosa Blue-Green Algae Powder is assayed by the manufacturer to be 55.2% protein. You will receive a sealed and labeled heavy duty 4 mil polyethylene bag containing 500 grams of this blue-green all natural pure bulk powder product with no additives, fillers, or anticaking agents added. Five hundred grams is also 500 grams, or approximately 1.102 pounds, or approximately 17.637 ounces by weight. You won't receive the fancy retail packaging, but you will receive a great deal at or below wholesale prices for a high purity bulk quantity of this product.

    Chlorella is a fresh water Blue-Green Algae powder and is comprised of a tough outer shell (about 20% by weight) that is indigestible and an inner nutrient rich cytoplasm (80% by weight). Many of the most remarkable benefits of Chlorella come from the fibrous material comprising Chlorella's fibrous outer shell and it's ability to absorb toxic substances from the digestive tract as it passes thru your body. Not only is Chlorella great at detoxification and purification, but it's one of nature's most nutritious foods being high in protein, minerals and vitamins. Not all Chlorella is the same. Most of the Chlorella that is produced and sold as a nutritional supplement is not broken cell Chlorella but is instead intact cell Chlorella. Even though broken cell Chlorella is more costly to produce it is important for the bioavailability of both Chlorella's fibrous outer shell and inner nutrients. You won't find a better price on broken cell Chlorella here on eBay or anywhere!

    Does Chlorella Algae Powder taste a lot like Spirulina Algae Powder? For those of you who are familiar with taking Spirulina Blue-Green Algae, be aware that there is a difference in the taste of these algae. Perhaps you've tasted spirulina powder? If you have you probably detected a slight "fishy" or "ocean" taste. That's because spirulina is typically cultivated in salt or brackish water. Chlorella, on the other hand, is a fresh water algae and Chlorella has a different taste (actually both spirulina and chlorella are almost tasteless). More specifically both Chlorella and Spirulina have a characteristic aroma, or smell, that is different. Perhaps the best way to describe the flavor of Chlorella Algae Powder is to say that it is very green tasting, and somewhat similar tasting to other green powders such as barley green powder or wheat grass juice powder. For most people the aroma and taste of Chlorella Algae powder is neither unpleasant or objectionable, but it does have a strong green taste owing to the its high chlorophyll content. But individual taste preferences, likes and dislikes, do vary. I personally think the taste of our current batch of Chlorella Algae Powder is very, very yummy as compared to many Chlorella Algae powders on the market, and I hope that you like it also.

    Are there nutritional differences between Chlorella Algae and Spirulina Algae? There are several big differences between the nutritional values and suggested use between Chlorella and Spirulina Algae. One big difference with Chlorella is that it has a relatively high iron content. As you are probably aware, iron supplementation can be a good thing for a lot of women, and more rarely for some men, however, iron can also be a not so good thing for many adult men. Too much iron for individuals with high iron blood can act somewhat like an anti-antioxidant. So for most men Chlorella Algae is not recommended to be taken as a daily nutritional supplement, but men can take Chlorella Algae periodically for detoxification purposes. For many women daily Chlorella Algae supplementation can give tremendously healthy benefits.

    What makes Chlorella Algae Powder so popular? Like Spirulina Algae, Chlorella Algae is a single celled primitive plant. But because Chlorella Algae is adapted for fresh water and the occasional desiccation (drying) of the fresh water ponds in which it lives, Chlorella Algae has developed an outer fibrous shell surrounding its delicate inner nutrient rich cytoplasm. This fibrous shell has two major functions for Chlorella Algae. As the ponds in which it lives dries up this outer fibrous shell helps to protect the inner cellular membranes until the algae is completely desiccated (dry). When the pond then fills with water again the Chlorella cell protected by its fibrous shell can quickly thrive and flourish in the fresh water, out competing other algae and plants attempting to gain a dominant share of the available nutrients in that water. But Chlorella has another trick it uses to beat the competition. Chlorella's out fibrous shell is especially adapted to absorb and retain nutrients and minerals from the water before the pond completely desiccates. By grabbing and holding these nutrients and minerals in its fibrous shell Chlorella Algae can again improve its chances to flourish when the pond in which it lives revivifies again with fresh water. It is this affinity for absorbing and retaining minerals and other nutrients within Chlorella's outer shell that makes it a valuable detoxification supplement. This Chlorella Algae Powder is referred to as Chlorella Algae Broken Cell because the outer shell has been broken via high pressure nozzle impact of the fluid stream of Chlorella thereby breaking it's outer shell and exposing the inner nutrient rich cytoplasm and as well exposing a greater surface area of the fibrous outer shell for enhanced detoxification function. Because the outer shell of the Chlorella Algae is indigestible, and because it is highly absorbent of minerals, it acts like a sponge to absorb and remove many toxic substances from the bowels and blood (via the bile acids) as it passes thru the digestive tract.

    What is the daily suggested or recommended daily dose for Chlorella Algae Powder? Owing to the higher costs of tablets or capsules most retailers recommend somewhat small and ineffective daily doses so as to maximize their profits. But for maximally effective nutrition and detoxification purposes the recommended daily dose for Chlorella Blue-Green Algae should be between 5 grams and 30 grams per day. One slightly rounded tablespoon is about 10 grams and mixes well with water or juice and doesn't taste bad (tastes very "green") when mixed with 8 to 12 ounces of strong flavored vegetable or citrus juices. For best results men should take three times per day for 3 to 7 days and then stop taking for 2 to 3 weeks. Women with iron deficiency should take 10 grams of chlorella every day for optimal health benefits.
