"Chlorella's ability to bind to heavy metal toxins, allowing them to be safely excreted from your body".
NASA is constantly researching the possibility of sending humans into space with perfect nutrition. Chlorella has been at the top of this research list for over five decades. This is mainly a result of its perfect nutritional array including over 100 nutrients as well as 50% protein (more than double the content found in meat, fish, or chicken).
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is quite possibly the most important nutrient found in algae and proven to build the immune system. Chlorophyll is the pigment that makes plants green and is the main reason why your mother told you to “eat your greens” She was right.
- Chlorophyll is so important to your health and immune system that during WW II if there wasn’t enough blood for blood transfusions the injured were given liquid chlorophyll instead and it helped them recover just as fast. The reason is simple. The chemical composition of chlorophyll is virtually identical to hemoglobin (see illustration below) so it helps you recover. Algae has the HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF CHLOROPHYLL In the world – 250 times more than spinach!
Raw, Unheated Chlorella Contains, iron, antioxidants, protein, and vitamins. Aiding in creating healthy intestinal bacteria, preventing diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. Chlorella naturally aids in fighting foreign invaders by keeping your body healthy and well-balanced.
NASA and Chlorella's Comeback
Fortunately, not everyone was looking to bring chlorella into the mainstream. As concerns over food shortages died down in the 1960s, NASA began studying chlorella as a means of sustainable food and oxygen production in space. This research was very promising and continues even in recent years.
Despite the promising research that’s shown how incredible chlorella is as a source of nutrition, it remains relatively unknown due to its lack of mainstream flavor. However, the algae food market has been making a slow and steady comeback. As more and more people begin to pay closer attention to their dietary habits, chlorella is set to burst into the mainstream.

Conclusions
In conclusion, these results indicated that Chlorella could inhibit the absorption of 90Sr into the blood and enhance the elimination of 90Sr from the body through adsorption in intestine. Further studies are required to elucidate the mechanism and the components of Chlorella needed for adsorption to strontium and could promote the development of more effective decorporation agents.
Introduction
Radionuclides released into the atmosphere and the ocean by nuclear power plant accidents, such as the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters, are important problems for the ecosystems and humans [1–5]. Among the released radionuclides, cesium-137 (137Cs) and strontium-90 (90Sr) are considered to be harmful to humans because both have a long half-life and can contaminate aquatic ecosystems and food products due to their high solubility in water
(Yablokov AV, Nesterenko VB (2009) 1. Chernobyl contamination through time and space. Ann N Y Acad Sci 1181: 5–30. 10.1111/j.1749-6632.2009.04821.x [PubMed] [CrossRef] [Google Scholar] [Ref list])
137Cs (t1/2 = 30.1 y) is one of the most important nuclear fission elements and decays to barium-137m (137mBa) with the emission of β-particles (0.51 MeV). 137mBa in turn decays to the stable isotope 137Ba with the emission of gamma rays (0.66 MeV) by isomeric transition. Because the physical half-life of 137mBa (t1/2 = 2.55 m) as a daughter radionuclide is sufficiently short compared with that of 137Cs, a radioactive equilibrium is established. Cesium is an alkaline metal and a member of the IA family of the periodic table. As its chemical properties are similar to those of potassium, cesium is immediately absorbed after intake and is fairly uniformly distributed throughout body [6]. In particular, cesium shows high accumulation in muscle and is retained in the entire body, with a biological half-life of approximately 100 days in healthy adult male humans [7].
90Sr (t1/2 = 29.1 y) is another important nuclear fission radionuclide. 90Sr decays to yttrium-90 (90Y) with the emission of β-particles (0.54 MeV). 90Y in turn decays to the stable isotope zirconium-90 (90Zr) with the emission of high energy β-particles (2.27 MeV). Because the physical half-life of 90Y (t1/2 = 2.67 d) as a daughter radionuclide is sufficiently short compared with that of the parent radionuclide 90Sr, a radioactive equilibrium is established. Strontium (Sr) is an alkaline earth metal and a member of the IIA family of the periodic table. Therefore, strontium acts as a calcium mimic and shows high accumulation in bone through incorporation into mineralizing collagen during new bone formation [8,9]. The biological half-life of 90Sr is very long [10]. Therefore, internal exposure to 90Sr is associated with the development of leukemia and osteosarcoma [11,12].
Because of the properties mentioned above, internal exposure to 137Cs and 90Sr radionuclides can be very harmful to humans. Compounds that inhibit the absorption of these radionuclides from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood and enhance their elimination after intake are useful in decreasing the absorbed radiation dose when people are exposed to these radionuclides. Indeed, insoluble ferric(III) hexacyanoferrate (Fe4III[FeII(CN)6]3)·xH2O (Radiogardase®, Prussian blue insoluble, PB), a compound that promotes the elimination of 137Cs from the body, is useful for the treatment of radiocesium poisoning and has been approved for use by regulatory bodies, such as U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA). In the case of 90Sr, some compounds such as alginate promote excretion as reported from basic research [13,14].
Chlorella is a genus of single-cell green algae that grows in fresh water. It is known as a health food composed of approximately 1%–4% chlorophyll, 55%–67% protein, 9%–18% dietary fiber, and large amounts of minerals and vitamins [15]. In a previous study, Chlorella was shown to enhance the excretion of cadmium (Cd) by inhibiting intestinal Cd absorption in rats [16]. In another report, lead (Pb) concentration in blood was markedly reduced when Pb and Chlorella vulgaris extract were simultaneously administrated compared with when only Pb was administrated [17]. Furthermore, another study reported enhancement of mercury (Hg) elimination by Chlorella [18]. Because Chlorella has been shown to be effective in enhancing the excretion of heavy metals, we hypothesized that Chlorella could also inhibit the absorption and enhance the elimination of radioactive cesium or strontium from the body after their oral intake. We evaluated the potential of Chlorella as a decorporation agent for radioactive cesium and strontium in vitro and in vivo. In this study, 85Sr (T1/2 = 64.8 d) was used instead of 90Sr because 85Sr emits gamma rays that can be measured easily.
Ref WebMD: In clinical studies, chlorella increased white blood cell levels, which can stimulate your immune system and help fight infection. Chlorella's anti-inflammatory effects may help manage respiratory conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Chlorella is a nutrient-dense freshwater algae. It’s a close cousin to the saltwater-sourced spirulina.
Researchers first studied chlorella after World War II as a potential protein option for a growing global population. It has higher levels of vitamins and minerals than spirulina, and is a better source of healthy fats like omega-3s.
- Chlorophyll has been used to treat a wide range of inflammatory conditions from arthritis to pancreatitis. Its anti-inflammatory powers can be attributed to its potent antioxidant properties. These antioxidants help to scavenge free radicals, relieving inflammation and reducing the symptoms that come with it. Years of research have confirmed the protective effects of chlorophyll. A 2012 study found that chlorophyll was able to protect cells from oxidative damage by counteracting harmful free radicals, oxidative stress and inflammation.

- Chlorophyll has also been shown to increase the excretion of toxins, especially a specific type known as aflatoxin B1. Aflatoxins are poisonous and have been known to cause cancer, but chlorophyll can prevent these toxins from wreaking havoc in our body. Chlorophyll has also been shown to reduce the bioavailability of carcinogens to make them harder to absorb in the body, prevent damage to biomarkers, and even prevent the formation of tumors in animal studies

- Chlorophyll has strong antimicrobial powers that can work to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus including candida albicans. Chlorophyll also promotes wound healing by inhibiting bacterial growth.
- Chlorophyll also has been used to treat or prevent anemia because its molecular structure is so similar to the hemoglobin in red blood cells. The chlorophyll stimulates bone marrow and white blood cells at the same time it increases the production of red blood cells which together reduce symptoms of anemia.

Differences Between Spirulina and Chlorella
The two most studied and promising types of algae for human consumption are Spirulina and Chlorella. While they are often mentioned in the same breath, what they do in your body is night and day. Spirulina is particularly good for energy because it has no cell wall. It takes little time to digest, making it an instant source of vitamins and protein. Chlorella, on the other hand, has one of the strongest cell walls in the plant kingdom. It digests very slowly, allowing its high chlorophyll content to detoxify your body.
5 Amazing Health Benefits of Chlorella
Studies on chlorella did not stop with the research on world hunger and oxygen in space. Chlorella continues to be a well-researched food with most studies currently focusing on its health benefits. Here are some of the most impressive findings in research focused exclusively on chlorella algae:
1. Removes Toxins
Chlorella has the unique ability to bind to and remove heavy metals from the body. Studies show that chlorella is effective at removing several harmful compounds from the body, including heavy metals like lead.
When lead-exposed research mice were given a dose of chlorella at the time of lead exposure, their blood lead levels dropped an incredible 66%! The researchers attributed this to chlorella’s strong chelation properties. The researchers also found that chlorella was able to reduce blood lead levels in mice previously exposed to lead due to its ability to strengthen the immune system.
One study found that chlorella counteracted heavy metal poisoning and prevented tissue damage by reducing the absorption of cadmium into the body. Heavy metal toxicity, including cadmium and lead toxicity, is a problem facing many developed countries.
We are exposed to these pollutants in our air, our water, our food, and the consumer products we purchase. It’s important to give your body the resources it needs to prevent pollutants for harming your health. Chlorella is a fantastic food for fortifying your body’s immune system and preventing heavy metal-related illnesses.
While not a toxin that most people try to avoid, chlorella has also been found to promote the metabolism of alcohol in humans. A study performed with 6 human subjects found that consuming chlorella before drinking alcohol reduced ethanol in the blood and breath along with reducing acetaldehyde, a contributing cause of hangovers, in the blood.
2. Supports Immune System
Chlorella has been found to stimulate the production of several cell types critical to the immune system. This research was done on the short-term benefits of chlorella rather than long term, which means after just 2 months, human test subjects saw improvements in their immune system. A similar study’s human subjects saw results in just 1 month. This study tested chlorella’s ability to stimulate immune function in humans.
For mothers, chlorella can be a great food for helping to make sure dioxins are not transferred to infants while breast feeding. Dioxins are a group of toxic compounds that can find their way into breast milk due to poor environmental conditions. Chlorella has been found to stimulate antibodies in breast milk that eliminate dioxins.
3. Lowers Cholesterol
Chlorella has multiple studies demonstrating its efficacy in improving lipid-related biomarkers. It has been found to reduce cholesterol along with triglycerides in patients with slightly above average cholesterol levels. The researchers attributed these health benefits to the high levels of carotenoids α-carotene and lutein/zeaxanthin in chlorella. There have also been studies indicating chlorella can help reduce total body fat as well as blood glucose levels.
4. Improves Blood Pressure
Chlorella is loaded with micronutrients and antioxidants that are important for maintaining healthy arteries, which, in turn, improve blood pressure. These nutrients help reduce arterial stiffness – a problem commonly associated with high blood pressure. Some research suggests that chlorella improves arterial health by increasing nitric oxide levels. Research has used both younger and older individuals, meaning anyone can benefit from chlorella.
5. Better Aerobic Endurance
Interestingly, chlorella’s ability to increase oxygen uptake capacity was studied in both young men and women. Even more interesting, chlorella was found to significantly improve peak oxygen.These findings suggests that consuming chlorella could be beneficial to athletes who participate in sports or exercise requiring significant aerobic endurance.
Ways to Take Chlorella
Just swallow chlorella with some water approx. one hour before sleep.
Heart Support
Studies show that the nutrients in chlorella help lower bad (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, both of which can cause build-up in your arteries and strain on the heart.
Chlorella’s fatty acids and minerals like potassium also decrease blood vessel stiffness. This improves the function of blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Maintaining good cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood vessels reduces your risk of developing heart disease.

How is this chlorella’s cell wall processed?
One of the most important things to know when you are looking for the best chlorella algae on the market is how the chlorella’s cell wall is processed. Chlorella has one of the hardest cell walls in the plant kingdom. In order to make its nutrients bioavailable, that cell wall must be opened.
There are many ways manufacturers process chlorella. The best chlorella has its cell wall broken by sound vibrations. The chlorella is passed through a sound chamber, cracking the cell walls without high heat or excessive grinding. This method allows the nutrition in chlorella to remain intact yet bioavailable.
Some manufacturers use chemicals or extreme heat to make chlorella digestible; however, these methods severely harm chlorella’s nutrition. More common methods include milling and pressurizing the chlorella. While using a pressure-release chamber prevents oxidization and nutrient degradation, milling chlorella can negatively affect its nutrient content and digestibility.
We highly recommend knowing how your chlorella is cracked before buying. If you cannot find out how a company processes their chlorella (or if they do not mention the chlorella’s cell wall is broken), purchasing it is very risky.

These Chlorella products contain a large amount of proteins (approximately 59% based on dry weight), coinciding with the analytical data of the protein contents of C. pyrenoidosa (57%) [16] and C. vulgaris (51–58%) [17]. This protein content is higher than that of soybeans (approximately 33%, dry weight). The amino acid composition of Chlorella products C and M are shown in Table 2. These amino acid profiles indicate that all essential amino acids for humans (isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, and histidine) are present in substantial concentrations in these products. According to the essential amino acid index (EAAI) used to evaluate protein quality for human nutrition, the quality of C. pyrenoidosa (EAAI, 1.35) [18] and a commercially available Chlorella product (EAAI, 0.92) [19] are higher than that of soybean protein (EAAI, 0.66) [18]. These results indicate that proteins in Chlorella products are of high or good quality. Notably, Chlorella products contain a considerable amount of arginine (approximately 3200 mg/100 g dry weight), which serves as a substrate for the production of NO, a potent intracellular signaling molecule that influences every mammalian system [20]. Arginine also serves as a potent modulator of immune functions [21].
