What is chlorella?

Chlorella is a single-celled freshwater green alga whose cells are so small that they can only be seen under a microscope. The dark green colour of the alga comes from chlorophyll – the same pigment that gives plant leaves their green colour. For food, chlorella is cultivated, after which the biomass is harvested and dried into a powder. The chlorella cell is surrounded by a tough cell wall. In Now Foods tablets, the cell walls of the chlorella have been broken mechanically. As a powder, chlorella has a strong and distinctive taste and smell, which is why for many people a tablet is the most convenient way to use chlorella every day.

How to use?

Take three tablets a day with a glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. It is convenient to take the tablets at the same time every day, for example with breakfast, so that you do not forget them. Bear in mind that chlorella may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. If you use other products containing chlorella or other algae at the same time, take their amounts into account too. At the recommended use, one container lasts 40 days.
