Chlorella has become a popular addition to liver detoxication formulas. Chlorella is a highly nutritious single-celled alga, somewhat similar to spirulina. The “broken cell” version of chlorella refers to the manufacturer of the product breaking the outer cell wall of the microorganism to improve its digestibility and absorption rate. Some research indicates that chlorella may attenuate oxidative stress and relieve symptoms of bromyalgia. It also shows promise for enhancing immune function and stamina.

Spirulina has a chelating or “claw like” ability that helps to remove free radicals and other chemicals that may cause DNA damage. It can help detoxify the blood and help maintain cellular energy levels, while providing the nutrients that support normal cell growth.

Spirulina and Chlorella are both sources of blue-green algae, which has a rich nutrient prole and is a potent antioxidant. Spirulina supports healthy functioning of the liver and immune system to aid in detoxication.

Chlorella supports cell reproduction, as well as restorative processes that promote healthy organs and tissues. Chlorella also aids the body in the breakdown of unwanted materials like heavy metals and supports proper digestion by promoting the growth of benecial bacteria and assisting in the elimination of unwanted materials from the body.
