Sun Chlorella
Chlorella, Chlorella Pyrenoidosa

Chlorella (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) is a natural whole food derived from a fresh water-grown plant, with amazing health-enhancing benefits. It is a genus of single-celled green algae, belonging to the phylum Chlorophyta. Chlorella\'\'s name comes from 'chlor' which means green in Greek, and 'ella' which means a small thing in Latin.
Sun Chlorella is a true survivor. A recent study shows that Chlorella has been on earth since at least 540 million years ago, and is the first known form of eukaryotic organism (true nucleus plant). Chlorella contains the highest percentage of natural chlorophyll and provides vital nutrients such as potassium, all of the B-vitamins, magnesium, zinc and iron, 18 vital amino acids, and beta carotene.
Chlorella is also called a most powerful weapons against cancer, its a unicellular, green algae. This tiny algae packs a powerful punch. Chlorella is truly one of nature\'s great gifts, providing essential vitamins and nutrients as well as promoting the healthy function of nearly all the body\'s systems.

Liver Health:
Some Asian and other studies have shown that Sun Chlorella stimulates a protective effect on the liver, as shown by its resistance to damage by toxins such as ethionine. In one German study, the liver was protected from the kind of damage caused by malnutrition. Chlorella lowers blood cholesterol and triglycerides, the levels of which are associated with liver metabolism as well as fat intake. We can see how the protective and cleansing effects of chlorella on the liver support the natural defenses of the body.

Clean Bloodstream:
A clean bloodstream, with an abundance of red blood cells to carry oxygen, is necessary to a strong natural defense system. Chlorella\'\'s cleansing action on the bowel and other elimination channels, as well as its protection of the liver, helps keep the blood clean.

Blood Sugar Balancing:
Experiments have shown that chlorella tends to normalize blood sugar in cases of hypoglycemia while numerous personal testimonies show that it also helps take care of diabetes. In hypoglycemia, blood sugar is too low, while in diabetes, blood sugar is too high. Proper levels of blood sugar are necessary for normal brain function, heart function and energy metabolism, all of which are crucial in sustaining good health and preventing disease. The liver and pancreas are involved in the regulation of blood sugar, particularly the Islands of Langerhans in the pancreas. So, we find that Chlorella supports and balances pancreatic functions as well as the other organs we have discussed.

Blood Pressure:
For many years now, Sun Chlorella has been known to normalize blood pressure in many documented cases, High blood pressure is one of the major risk factors in heart attack and stroke, which account for more fatalities in the US than any other disease.

A renowned herbalist Michael Tierra L.Ac, O.M.D said in their book:
I recommend Chlorella to all cancer patients regardless of any other green drink they might use. Chlorella is a small, one-celled algae containing a nucleus and a large amount of chlorophyll. Its protein content is approximately 58with the balance made up of carbohydrates, all the B Vitamins, Vitamin C and E, amino acids and valuable trace minerals. It has more B12 than liver and a substantial amount of beta-carotene. Because it has a strong cell wall, it requires processing in order to make all of its nutrients available. It is virtually a complete food in itself. It acts as both a powerful nutrient and a detoxifying food.

Chlorella Detoxing - A Potent Detox and Mercury Removal

Author: Michel Jayne

Heavy metal toxicity, just like chemical toxicity, has become one of the most pressing health hazards of our day. These mercury levels come from silver (mercury) fillings,  vaccines, seafood, everyday cookware, and the air we breathe.  One of the major routes of exposure to heavy metals in the United States, aside from vaccines and dental fillings, is eating fish, which is a real shame because seafood has many healthy qualities and is also the preferred food for dieters.  For these reasons amongst many others, detoxing the body has become something of a norm for many people looking to stay healthy, fit, and have a longer life span.

With the information we have these days about the air we breathe, the toxins we ingest without even realizing it and the dishonest food manufacturers and even government bodies, detoxing is a necessity and not always an easy task to undertake.

Thanks to Dr. Ginny Bank, we now know of  a food that flushes heavy toxins from the body at a powerful rate and offers other tremendous benefits to the body and even the mind.

Chlorella - a single-celled fresh water algae -  is often referred to as a near-perfect food, as its range of health benefits is truly astounding. It\'s no wonder Dr. Bank refers to chlorella as a 'phenomenal nutrient.' It has the ability to detox your body by binding toxins such as mercury and cart them out of the the body.  But there is more -

• Chlorella is a huge benefit to vegetarians and vegans who want protein and B vitamins from a non animal food source.
• Chlorella is about 60 percent protein, and is considered to be a 'complete protein' source because it contains all the essential amino acids your body needs.
• It enhances the immune system and reduces cancer risk
• It normalizes blood sugar and blood pressure
• It repairs nerve tissues
• Improves digestion
• Promotes healthy pH levels in the gut, which in turn helps good bacteria to thrive
• Enhances the ability to focus and concentrate
• Increases energy levels

Chlorella is a Potent Detox Agent

Dr Bank explains 'Chlorella plays a particularly crucial role in systemic mercury elimination, because the majority of mercury is rid through your stool. Once the mercury burden is lowered from your intestines, mercury from other body tissues will more readily migrate into your intestines -- where chlorella will work to remove it.  Ideally you would need to take it with a meal so it binds directly to the toxins while they are in your gut, before they absorbed into your body.' This would be a most suitable tablet to take when consuming seafood meals.

Chlorella\'s cleansing action on your bowel and other elimination channels, as well as its protection of your liver, also helps promote clean blood, which helps assure metabolic waste gets efficiently carried away from your tissues.

The Fundamental Detail of Chlorella

The key to chlorella\'s detoxing abilities lies within the membrane of this single cell, but the wall of that cell is indigestible.  However with the 'broken cell wall' chlorella has been rendered digestible. When searching for chlorella tablets it is vital that the packaging tells you that the 'cell wall is broken.'  Without the cell wall being broken you are gaining none of the benefits of chlorella.  So take care when buying your tablets and be sure to check the label.

There are only a few producers of chlorella in the world who provide the raw material to manufacturers, who then process and package it.  Reputable companies, will adhere to certain processes that increase your chances of getting the levels of nutrients stated.  Manufacturers who are known for quality will make sure they receive a certificate of analysis from the producer of the raw material, and will get batches evaluated by an independent third party on a regular basis to ensure consistency.

As with any supplement, different brands of chlorella will be available.  Potency and purity are extremely important so make sure you purchase from a reputable source and check the labeling as suggested above.

How to Use Chlorella for Heavy Metal Detoxing

In order to optimize heavy metal detoxing, you\'ll want to take at least 4 grams of chlorella every day.  Dr. Bank recommends taking it once a day in the morning.  Typically the tablets come in 500 mg each so you would need to take eight tablets a day.

It is not at all unusual for some  people to experience slight nausea and mild diarrhea initially, due to the toxins being carted out of the body.  If you find this is the situation for you, don\'t panic. Simply introduce chlorella slowly into your system by gradually building the intake to the eight tablets a day.  This means you start with a lower dose and increase it gradually until you have reached the ability to comfortably take eight tablets a day.  Taking chlorella with food will also help alleviate any nausea.

A User Friendly Detoxing Agent

Chlorella as a detoxing agent is a most suitable choice for those who want animal proteins without eating animals.  It is also easy to take, as it comes in tablet form, which means no awful tasting large amount of fluids to drink like other detox agents. If the side effects are too much for you, you can slowly increase the dosage as opposed to just throwing it out because you can\'t handle the awful taste or side effects.  This makes Chlorella a user friendly detoxing agent.

Remember to check labels carefully when sourcing out chlorella in order to gain it\'s maximum benefits as a detoxing agent and be worth your hard earned money.
