USP Chlorella Extract Powder

Chlorella is a bright green alga. Chief among chlorella's benefits is that it may help prevent the kind of cell damage that increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and certain cancers. This is thanks to its high levels of antioxidants like vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, and carotenoids like beta-carotene, which combat free radicals.
Chlorella sp. is a fresh-water green alga that contains various nutrients such as carotenes, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. Taking Chlorella supplements during pregnancy may decrease dioxin content and increase the concentration of some carotenes and immunoglobulin A in breastmilk. Chlorella is usually well tolerated, but can cause nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, flatulence, and green stools. Allergic reactions, including asthma and anaphylaxis, have been reported in people taking Chlorella, and in those preparing chlorella tablets. Photosensitivity reactions have also occurred following ingestion of Chlorella. The high vitamin K content of Chlorella may decrease warfarin effectiveness. Maternal Chlorella intake would not be expected to cause adverse effects in most breastfed infants and is probably acceptable during breastfeeding. Green breastmilk discoloration has been reported.
