Although it is relatively unknown in the US, chlorella is used extensively in the orient. It is estimated that over 10 million people around the world take chlorella.
Chlorella is a unique single-celled fresh water green algae.
Being a whole food, chlorella contains a balance of nutrients and co-factors beneficial to overall restoration and maintenance of health. Chlorella contains a high concentration of chlorophyll, nucleic acids, amino acids, enzymes, and vitamins and minerals. Studies report on numerous health benefits including improved immune system function, and detoxification of harmful toxins. This substance is most closely associated with reported accelerated wound healing. Dr. Steenblock's book, Chlorella natural medicinal algae, shows an illustration of CGF's wound healing ability on a diabetic foot ulcer through direct application on the wound.
