Liver Suppor t The most vital organ for the natural detoxification system, the liver has well over 500 functions including those relating to blood filtration, hormone production & metabolism. Chlorella supports these essential functions and mitigates negative effects via removing toxins from the body while influencing insulin sensitivity. As Chlorella acts to directly to remove typical toxins, incidence of liver stress & inflammation is lowered. By improving insulin sensitivity, the likelihood of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease developing is thereby reduced. Digestive Health Digestive health is paramount & any issues in the filtering process lead to inflammation, compromised absorption & poor health. The main determinant of good gut health is the microbiome state. Here Chlorella excels, contributing to a diverse & thriving microbiome population by feeding beneficial bacteria + prebiotic fibre preventing excessive gut membrane permeability & inflammation. Additionally, Chlorella contains anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids to reduce harmful effects caused by gut issues. It also contains the unique Chlorella growth factor (CGF) which helps repair the protein structures in the gut membrane. Richest Bio-available Plant Source of Iron Anaemia is the most common mineral deficiency estimated to affect over a billion people. Iron is an incredibly essential nutrient, predominantly due to the role it plays in haemoglobin. These iron-containing molecules transport oxygen in the blood required for respiration & energy metabolism. While iron supplementation is a common strategy to combat deficiencies, it frequently causes gastrointestinal distress. Chlorella is naturally high in iron and a more digestible bio available alternative. It also delivers important vitamins required to increase and maintain healthy iron levels in the body such as vitamin Chlorella offers supplemental benefits for aerobic health to enhance an already healthy lifestyle. Good aerobic capacity is not only a helpful indicator of good long-term health prospects; it also improves quality of life by increasing energy & ease of tasks. Chlorella helps to increase oxygen uptake in supporting training efforts (which itself offers huge benefits for health & longevity) and additionally increases mitochondrial biogenesis leading to better athletic performance. Assists with Weight Loss Chlorella assists with healthy weight loss. Healthy lifestyle choices leading to good metabolic health lead to increased muscle mass and decreased fat stores. Chlorella’s composition is very nutrient dense, high in protein & fibre (factors to achieve a temporary caloric deficit while helping to keep the body full & adequately nourished). Chlorella also THE EXPERT ask C, vitamin D & vitamin B12. Aerobic Endurance

Q: With so many people into Green “Super food” powders & tabs now, please confirm whether they’re really worth taking & if so which is the best? A: The huge popularity of Greens is well validated by their many virtues. It’s a resounding yes from me, especially having enjoyed them for 40+yrs. If real & clean they all offer great merits – but Chlorella is definitely No.1’. Here’s the basic rundown (without getting too technical). * Green Barley + Wheatgrass + Alfalfa (Green Fusion) = approx.1kg Organic green veg in 1 teaspoon! With an array of Nutritional, cleansing, bowel+ benefits & impressive as these are, it is the lowest Chlorophyll of the Super foods – hence the amazing power of Greens. *Algae delivers the highest potency & while quality Organic Spirulina is excellent food... **Chlorella is the indisputable best of the best – if indeed it is the genuine article** Yet all Chlorella is not the same with bio availability being even more crucial than usual. The cell wall must be cracked to be able to digest it – without compromising integrity. Great news – the best is now available via innovative Vacuum & Ultrasonic technology. Even better – for the 1st time ever now it’s actually being grown here in Australia Immune Support Billions of microbes invade the body through the skin/ inner lining of the digestive tract & thank God our immune system protects us in this harsh environment. Since the gut is a semi permeable point of contact, it must be well populated with immune cells to fight off any invaders. Chlorella enhances immune health by repairing & preserving the lining of the gut, improving frontline defence. It also reduces chronic inflammation that fatigues our immune system and compromises resources required to fend off an acute immune threat. Chlorella improves immune response through increased production of antibodies & lymphocytes. Detoxification Exposure to toxins happens via many unavoidable harmful substances + foods that aren’t Organic & clean. The body natural detoxification primarily relies on the kidneys, liver & gut to remove harmful toxins. However, this natural detoxification system often becomes overloaded. Toxins accumulate and cause harmful health effects. Chlorella is the ideal solution to help liver, kidney & gut health to improve natural detoxification. Being a chelating substance, Chlorella can draw numerous unwanted substances out of the body.

contributes to improved hormone health which causes certain individuals to retain body fat. Chlorella improves insulin sensitivity, good gut health and helps detoxify from hormone disrupting substances. These can regulate hormonal health which can help with health based weight loss – all why Chlorella has long Chlorella's profound effect to boost energy levels is a major benefit to improve daily wellbeing. The most essential micronutrients required for energy are B Vitamins (Especially B12), Vitamin C, Zinc, Iron & Magnesium – and Chlorella is a great source of these. Chlorella also helps improve hormonal health in specific ways including increasing insulin sensitivity which can prevent chronic fatigue before it potentially happens. Finally, chlorella combats symptoms of chronic inflammation that can be contributing to low-energy. Muscle Tissue Growth and Repair Muscle & tissue repair is crucial to everyone interested in improving their overall health. The body is in a constant state of cell turnover, whether building muscle and connective tissue, recovering from injuries, strengthening bone, or simply maintaining gut lining and skin integrity. All these processes require adequate building materials. Protein, vitamin c, zinc, and copper are particularly important for building collagen, one of the most prominent bodily tissues. Chlorella contains all of those, along with Chlorella growth factor (CGF) to further support repair & regeneration. CGF stimulate cells to develop into muscle cells facilitating muscle growth for improving daily & athletic physical function. Healthy Skin + Hair Unhealthy skin is often indicative of compromised gut, blood & lymph circulation issues, immunological problems, or hormone imbalances. Chlorella helps with those parameters & also reflects better health on the surface of the skin. Vitamins C, A, E, D, Zinc, B vitamins, as well as fats & proteins all play a role in maintaining skin health and Chlorella provides all these nutrients. Hair health is directly related to skin health as the condition of the scalp determines hair growth. Brain Health As our most complex organ, maintaining brain health is imperative. Many natural substances are being studied by scientists to determine if they have a positive impact. Chlorella has shown promising results for supporting nerve cell growth via high vitamin B12 content plus its presence of the unique Chlorella growth factor (CGF). Chlorella is further rich in several nutrients essential for good brain health i.e. Omega 3 fatty acids, B vitamins, Vitamin D, E, A, Choline, Iron, Copper, Selenium, Zinc & Iron. Its antioxidants may also play an important role in reducing inflammation and slowing cognitive decline. been used in weight-loss clinics. Boosts Energy Levels
