Superfood Chlorella from Monasteries of Greece

Chlorella is a microscopic green alga found in fresh water. It is considered a superfood due to its nutrient content and beneficial properties for health.

Chlorella is very rich in plant-based proteins of high nutritional value, and contains 19 amino acids, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, B vitamins, minerals, phosphorus, beta-carotene, lutein, and xanthophylls, making it a powerful antioxidant. It is the richest plant in chlorophyll (four times more than spirulina, spinach, and nettle). It also contains vitamin B12 and beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, such as alpha-linolenic acid.

Properties

The main health benefits of taking chlorella are the removal of toxins (detoxification), boosting energy, and providing antioxidant protection against free radicals.

Detoxification and Alkalization: Chlorella detoxifies the body from heavy metals (chromium, zinc, mercury, lead), which accumulate in the body mainly through diet. It binds to toxins and naturally eliminates them through the intestines. The chlorophyll it contains accelerates blood purification. Due to its content of RNA and DNA, it has also been found to protect against ultraviolet rays.

At the same time, it is an excellent detoxifier for the liver, with effects similar to those of milk thistle. It helps remove alcohol and toxins from the liver, promoting its cellular renewal.

Boost and Energy: Chlorella is an excellent source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, making it ideal for athletes, vegetarians, and individuals who do not have a proper diet and fail to obtain essential nutrients through their daily food intake.

It also strengthens the immune system and helps prevent the onset of anemia. It calms and stimulates metabolism, increasing the energy and vitality of the body.

Antioxidant Protection: Thanks to its strong antioxidant action, primarily from the chlorophyll it contains, chlorella protects cells from harmful free radicals and aging. It helps repair the biological damage caused by time in almost all cellular systems. It can also be useful for smokers in combating some of the negative effects of smoking.

Obesity, Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome: Studies show that chlorella helps reduce body fat percentage and lowers glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin in the blood. It can act preventively against metabolic syndrome and prevent the onset of insulin resistance in individuals at a pre-diabetic stage. Chlorella tends to reduce levels of bad cholesterol and high blood pressure. Additionally, due to its antioxidant action, chlorella helps prevent complications in diabetics, such as the development of cataracts.

Weight Loss: Chlorella balances metabolism and the endocrine system, and detoxifies the body, which promotes weight loss. It provides a feeling of fullness, reducing hunger, and is a suitable supplement for individuals who tend to snack frequently.

Digestive System: Chlorella aids in the digestion process and promotes healthy intestinal function, helping to alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.

Side Effects

Chlorella contains vitamin K and should be avoided by individuals taking anticoagulant medications. It should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as well as by those suffering from lupus, multiple sclerosis, or rheumatoid arthritis. Taking chlorella during the summer months may worsen skin photosensitivity. It should be combined with very high sun protection.
