Chlorella microalgae has the potential to become the superfood of the future. They represent an extremely well-balanced source of all the most important nutrients. And especially in terms of protein content, it would be difficult to find an affordable competing food source. That is why the new product in the Herbamedica range - Chlorella powder is a tool that can successfully complement any diet that aims to fully supply all the important nutrients that our body cannot synthesize on its own.

Chlorella - and the 9 essential amino acids in one product

Our new product offers a fine powder of dried microalgae of the species Chlorella vulgaris in the form of a 100% organic product. Chlorella algae carries a complete amino acid profile that includes the nine essential, or essential amino acids. This group includes arginine, valine, lysine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine and tryptophan. All of them must be taken with food, because it is impossible to synthesize them in our body. Of the standard food products, chicken and beef also have a very diverse amino acid profile, but chlorella algae is among the very few plant-based and vegan products available to make up such a complete source.

Chlorella offers a unique ratio between amount of product consumed and beneficial nutrients procured. In terms of wholesome composition, these algae are truly a product unique to nature.

About 60-65% of the composition of chlorella is taken up by protein. This predominance of exactly this type of nutrient is typical of algae, but in the case of chlorella the content is really extremely high and complete in terms of essential amino acids.

The unsurpassed chlorophyll content of these algae

Another huge plus of chlorella among other microalgae products is its uniquely high chlorophyll content. This genus boasts the highest content of this pigment among all other algae and even among plants. Chlorophyll is involved in photosynthesis, in which the absorbed energy of sunlight is transformed into energy for plant cells. Chlorella algae have extremely high photosynthetic efficiency compared to other lower and higher organisms that feed by photosynthesis. Like all other plant pigments, chlorophyll is a super potential antioxidant. It is among the most powerful natural products in terms of its ability to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body.

Moreover, its chemical structure is similar to that of haemoglobin in our blood. Studies have shown that the consumption of products rich in chlorophyll can help to successfully treat anemia, thalassemia and other conditions provoked by hemoglobin deficiency. As a result of these properties, chlorophyll can have a tonic and energising effect, helping to saturate the blood with oxygen and increase saturation. In this way it also helps to combat chronic fatigue. In addition, the extremely high chlorophyll content of chlorella powder can also aid in detoxification of the body, removing various types of toxins and waste products.

Role of chlorella growth factor on immunity

Another nutrient unique to chlorella that also plays a large role in their powerful photosynthetic efficiency is the so-called chlorella growth factor. The presence of this complex organic compound has so far only been detected in the nuclei of these particular algae. That is why it is named after them. It is believed that it is the chlorella growth factor that is among the reasons for the extremely rapid growth and multiplication of the cells of these microorganisms. This role is ensured by the beneficial nutrients in its composition. In the human organism, these beneficial substances have a strong stimulating effect on immunity factors.

Another reason for the immunostimulating role of chlorella is the very complete content of various minerals and vitamins. These algae contain all the B-complex vitamins, including folic acid and inositol. To these we should also add vitamin C, D and E, as well as micro- and macroelements such as iodine, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, etc.

In terms of its nutritional qualities, chlorella is an extremely complete product, which provides all the beneficial substances listed in an easily digestible form. This is the reason why these algae have in recent years seized the role of spirulina as the leading product in this class. And the popularity of chlorella is growing seriously worldwide, especially in Asian countries. Studies of the markets there show that in Japan, for example, natural products based on these algae are among the most preferred general fortification supplements. They are almost as popular there as vitamin C is in our latitudes. In addition, Japan is also the largest producer of these algae products worldwide.
