HOW TO CHOOSE A HIGH QUALITY CHLORELLA:

There are a few important criteria in choosing a good quality chlorella.

First of all the species. Chlorella Pyrenoidosa is a recognized species as containing tough cell walls that distinguishes chlorella as a true plant cell, which is a cell wall and a nucleus. This species is well-known as its tough cell walls would bind with toxins and bring them out of body safely. There are other species of chlorella that do not contain cells wall and therefore the detox function aspect is less.

Secondly the cell wall treatment process. Previously, pyrenoidosa species was considered less absorbable as its tough cell walls prevent the nutrients inside chlorella cells from being digested efficiently. In order for the nutrients to be absorbed properly, many commercial companies have a special process of breaking the cell walls. The most often used breaking cell wall is milling (or dyno mill for some products). This milling or grinding process is very efficient in breaking the cell wall into small fragments and therefore making chlorella thus treated more digestible. However, the process is also very destructive to the nutrients contained with the cell walls as the milling completely smashes the cell open and exposes the nutrients. Chlorella is basically a water plant and have its nutrients exposed will lower its nutritional value. Therefore the milling process achieves the purpose of breaking cell walls at the cost of losing some of its nutrients. Other less mentioned process of cell wall treatment is chemical bleaching or heat and freeze process. Chemical bleaching uses simulated digestive enzyme to pre-digest chlorella, or to thin the cell walls of chlorella. Chlorella thus treated has a very thin cell wall and therefore easy to digest. This chemical process is similar to bleaching and is also very destructive to the nutrients. Heat-freeze process is also used by some manufacturers to break the cell walls. Heat is used first to make chlorella cell expand and then freezing is used to shrink the cell walls. Chlorella thus treated has cracked cells but many valuable nutrients are lost during the heating process.

Prime Chlorella uses a unique way of breaking the cell walls. It is cracked open by vibrations of sound. This technology was invented by German scientists who believed that the cell walls need to be cracked open without compromising the nutritional values of what is inside the cell wall. Chlorella thus treated has cracked cell walls ready to be absorbed without nutrients being affected. This is the best technology at the present in cell wall treatment process.

Lastly, Purity. Chlorella has a natural capacity of binding with heavy metals and other toxins in the environment. We use chlorella partly for the same purpose, ie, to bring out toxins in our body. If chlorella is already saturated with toxins during the processes of growing and cell wall treatment, its binding capacity will be less to bind toxins in our body. It is much like a sponge full of water that will not further absorb any more water. We need chlorella to clean our body at cellular level as much as it possibly could before our cells in body could take in nutrients. In other words, chlorella's nutritional function should go hand in hand with detox and in order for chlorella to offer the benefits of nutrition, it should first be pure and free from contaminants. Prime Chlorella has the best standard of detection limit for heavy metals and is regarded as the purest chlorella.

Chlorella Growth Factor

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) is a special extract of the micro-algae chlorella. It is a special compound which can be dissolved in hot water, called "chlorella soup". It is mostly from the cell nucleus of chlorella, a concentration of DNA and RNA.

As CGF is a concentrated form of DNA and RNA, it is very strong in healing. Research shows that Children on CGF develop no tooth decay and their dentition and maxillary-facial development is near perfect. These children report less illnesses, grow earlier to a larger size with a higher I.Q. and are socially more skilled. There are case reports of patients with dramatic tumor remissions after taking CGF in higher amounts.

CGF occurs in natural Prime Chlorella, which has the highest purity. Therefore taking Prime Chlorella tablets or powder will also give you this wonderful compound. However, for children or very sick people, CGF will make a big difference, as the healing properties of chlorella will enter directly into your system. CGF makes the detoxification experience much easier, shorter and more effective.

Prime Chlorella CGF is in the liquid form. Recommended dosage: One teaspoonful ( 4-5ml) twice a day. For detoxification of lead, mercury and aluminum: 2 teaspoonfuls twice a day for 6 weeks.

Chlorella Jewel of the East

Chlorella is the highest known source of chlorophyll, about 2 percent by weight, ten times the amount found in alfalfa. By Dr. Bernard Jensen

As a clinical nutritionist with over 50 years in sanitarium work, one of my main interests has been to find foods that help my patients recover from their ailments and remain as healthy as possible the rest of their lives-hopefully, the rest of their long, happy lives.

I have traveled through fifty-five countries in search of the secrets of health and longevity. I look for those special foods that are most effective in reversing disease and building high-level health. These are the foods that promote longevity, and chlorella is one of the best of them.

Chlorella is an edible microalgae discovered in the late 1800s by a Dutch biologist. Because it was found to be over 50 percent protein, German scientists during World Wars I and II investigated it as a possible means of alleviating wartime food shortages. After World War II, the Carnegie Institute in Washington, DC picked up where the German scientists left off and found a way to grow chlorella commercially. The Japanese took over the development of chlorella at that point and have made on of the finest health food supplements in the world from it.

I first heard about chlorella in the 1950s. At that time, I was traveling from city to city, giving lectures on nutrition with Dr. Leon DeSeblo, a California medical doctor in his 70s who had studied the long-life factors in foods. For several years, he had experimented with chlorella and other edible algae, and he used chlorella daily as a dietary supplement. A strong, vigorous man, he finally passed away at the age of 107.

Chlorella is a most unusual single-celled plant, with a two billion-year history on this planet, as scientists have discovered from fossils. Under fertile growing conditions, each chlorella cell divides into four new cells every 20 to 24 hours. This amounts to about 40 tons per acre annual harvest, as compared to under half a ton of soybeans, or two tons of rice, per acre per year. Of course, chlorella contains over 50 percent protein, a much higher percentage than either soybeans or rice. It contains 19 of 22 known amino acids essential to human nutrition.

Arsenic poisoning has been successfully detoxified with chlorella.

The nutritional profile of chlorella is impressive. Vitamins B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6, C, E, pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin, PABA and inositol are found in chlorella. Over 124 micrograms of B-12 and over 55,000 I.U. of vitamin A are found per 100 grams, along with 221 mg of calcium, 315 mg of magnesium, 130 mg of iron, 71 mg of zinc, 04. Mg of iodine and 895 mg of phosphorus. This is a rich harvest for health, but here is more.

Chlorella is the highest known source of chlorophyll, about 2 percent per weight, ten times the amount found in alfalfa. Chlorophyll is effective in detoxifying the liver and bloodstream, cleansing the bowel and feeding the friendly bowel flora. Iron is more easily absorbed from the bowel in the presence of chlorophyll. Several years ago, during a visit to Taiwan, I was told that numerous cases of arsenic poisoning, due to contaminated well water supplies, were successfully detoxified with chlorella.

By far, the most fascinating feature of chlorella is found in its recorded cases of healing and prevention of disease.

During a three-month cruise, 458 Japanese sailors of the marine defense fleet were given tow grams of chlorella tablets daily, while 513 sailors on sister ships served as controls. Receiving no chlorella. The cruise was made in hot, tropical weather and the men worked hard. Over the 3-month voyage, 903 colds were reported among the 513 controls, 41 percent more than the chlorella-supplemented group, with 571 colds. Average weight loss among controls was 3.31 lb. While in the chlorella group, it was 1.5 lb. The chlorella-supplemented sailor showed a significantly higher resistance to cold viruses and weight loss. (1.)

Since this experiment, researchers have found a substance in chlorella that appears to increase production of interferon, a chemical in the body, which protects cells from harmful viruses. (2)

At Kyushu University Medical College in Japan, chlorellas was given to five patients with wounds that refused to heal under conventional medical treatment, including antibiotics. In three cases, the wounds healed satisfactorily in less than a month, while two of the more stubborn cases required about 2 months to heal.

Effective treatment of peptic ulcers using chlorella is now well established in Japan, as well as treatment of duodenal ulcers and gastritis. (3) Typically, treatment consists of taking chlorella along with prescribed medication to hasten healing. X-rays have been used to verify complete healing. For example, 76-year-old Sjiro Narita was hospitalized for three months with duodenal ulcers, went home, and suffered a relapse the following year. This time, he took chlorella along with his ulcer medication, and his symptoms disappeared. A medical examination confirmed complete healing.

Chlorella has been used in treating hypertension, diabetes, hypoglycemia, asthma, constipation and elevated cholesterol levels. Recent research indicates the substances in chlorella stimulate the natural immune system to protect the body from cancer. (4)

There is a fascinating reason why chlorella seems to reverse or protect from many diseases.

In the 1950s, Dr. Fujimaki of the People's Scientific Research Center in Tokyo separated a substance from a hot water extract of chlorella by electrophoresis, which was later named Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). This extract was found to be rich in nucleic factors, a fact, which make sense of two different experimental research findings about chlorella.

Early experiments with young rats, rabbits, chicks and pigs showed that adding 5 percent to 10 percent chlorella to their regular feed brought dramatic increases in weight gain and size ranging from 10 percent to 47 percent over controls. Dr. Yoshio Yamagishi then arranged to try chlorella on healthy 10 year old students, 22 boys and 18 girls, at Okuno Primary School in Tokyo, while another group of 22 boys and 15 girls the same age served as controls. Two grams of chlorella were given daily to the test group (except Sundays and holidays) for a total of 112 days.

The height and weight of all children in the experiment were recorded monthly. At the end of the experiment, the average increase for boys taking chlorella was one inch in height and 2.3 lb in weight, while the boys in the control group grew 0.6 inch in height and 1.6 lb in weight. The girls of both groups gained an average of 0.9 inch in height, but the girls who took chlorella gained 4.2 lb on the average, while the controls gained 2.7 lb. (5)

What this experiment showed is that human children as well as young animals and chickens experienced a measurable growth spurt while taking chlorella supplements.

This sheds light on why chlorella works to stimulate healing of many diseases. The same substances and processes that promote growth in young animals and children also promote repair of damaged tissue in mature animals and humans. (The processes of detoxification and immune system stimulation, also associated with chlorella, are not part of the tissue repair process itself, even though they help make tissue repair possible.) Apparently one or more components in CGF promote growth and tissue repair.

When we realize that CGF is primarily made up of nucleic material from chlorella cells, the findings of Dr. Benjamin Frank, in his research on the aging process, help us understand what is going on here.

Dr. Frank believes that the loss of energy and the physical deterioration associated with aging are due to the increasing breakdown of nucleic factors (DNA, RNA) that are needed for healthy cell functioning. When he put his patients on a diet rich in DNA and RNA foods, he expected to see improvements in energy levels and well being as the nucleic components were made available for repair and replacement of cellular nucleic acids. (DNA and RNA in all living things are made up of the same basic chemical building blocks.)

To his surprise, Dr. Frank found that not only did his patients begin to gain back more youthful energy and appearance, but health problems such as arthritis, emphysema, heart disease, deteriorating vision, memory loss and depression simply disappeared in many of them.

Dr. Frank recommended using high RNA foods such as canned or fresh sardines, salmon, other seafood, legumes, wheat germ and green, leafy vegetables at mealtimes. Canned sardines have been thought to be the food highest in RNA, at 590 mg of RNA per 100 grams. (6)

But, the latest research by Dr. Minchinori of Japan has reported levels of 10 percent RNA and 3 percent DNA in chlorella. This means chlorella is 17 times higher in RNA than canned sardines! The same long-life factors we find in certain foods are highest in chlorella.

It is interesting to notice the overlapping of diseases that have responded to Dr. Frank's RNA-rich diet and those that have responded to regular dietary supplements of chlorella and CGF. I feel this is far more than coincidence.

Of course, we find out that nucleic acids aren't everything. They need to be taken together with a balanced nutritional regimen. It is of absolute importance that they be used together with the proper enzymes, peptides, sufficient vitamin B-12 and other vitamins and minerals.

One disadvantage of chlorella in the past has been its limited digestibility due to a tough outer wall, which has reduced the availability of nutrients for assimilation to around 40 percent. In recent years, a patented process for breaking down the cell wall has increased digestibility to 80 percent, effectively doubling the good we can get out of it.

Many of those who have reported overcoming chronic diseases have taken both chlorella tablets and liquid CGF daily. CGF contains the nucleic factors in a more concentrated form.

Keep in mind that the fast pace of modern life, high stress, poor diet, junk foods, drugs, smoking, alcohol abuse, pollution and various negative lifestyle factors common in our time hasten the breakdown of our DNA, RNA and immune systems, creating an unnecessary vulnerability to disease and breakdown. We are capable of breaking down the body faster than it can be built up with nutritious foods and powerful food supplements such as chlorella.

We must learn to live wisely, even though it isn't always possible to slow down as much as we should in this technological age. I think it is interesting that chlorella, the "jewel of the East," has been developed largely be Japan, one of the most technologically advanced countries on our planet, at a time when we need such a supplement more than any other time in history.

Chlorella, detoxifies, stimulates the immune system, improves bowel function, enhances tissue repair, guard's cellular integrity and promotes longevity-without undesirable side effects. What more could we ask?

In regard to food, many people use chlorella as the basis of a weight loss program since it is high in protein and vitamins and minerals. If weight loss is desired, the tablets should be taken with a glass of water before meals that consist of vegetables, cereals, salads, and fruits.

Our Oriental neighbors certainly recognize the advantages of partaking daily of this small, green, one-celled algae and perhaps Americans will likewise. Chlorella may well be Manna from Japan!

A message from Paul Pitchford regarding Chlorella and The Prime Chlorella Company

Dear Friends,

As more people from all corners of the world discover each day, the ultra-green supplement known as chlorella is proving itself to be an invaluable, whole-food dietary supplement.

A single-celled fresh water algae, chlorella is among the most ancient life forms on the earth, and is virtually unchanged in over 2 billion years of existence. Thus it harbors the spark that characterized the original creative energy of the planet.

One of the richest foods in protein, beta carotene, and nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), chlorella contains more chlorophyll than any other food. The following are special features of chlorella:

  • Assimilates almost instantly as its massive protein and beneficial fats are predigested by the alga. Users often feel more energy in their lives.
  • Boosts immunity, partly as a result of its rich store of acid polysaccharides.
  • Cleanses environmental toxins from the body including radiation residues, pesticides, herbicides, and most toxic "heavy" metals including mercury.
  • Builds the "Yin" of the body according to ancient Chinese healing tradition, meaning that it helps overcome stress, inflammation, and mental irritation.

Of all the supplements I have seen in 30 years of clinical practice in nutrition, chlorella fosters a greater sense of well-being-for more people-than any other supplement. More effective than the mere sum of its nutrients, chlorella is a whole food whose potency results from the perfect integration of all its nutrient dimensions.

Usage Suggestions: I find that one of the best ways to use chlorella is in the form of tablets: chew them up at the end of meals with a little food. This reduces the desire to eat sweets later. Tablets also go well at other times of the day to quell blood sugar rushes and the associated cravings-chew them thoroughly, either alone or, with a snack such as roasted pumpkin seeds or celery sticks. (Chlorella tablets must be chewed up or they will not digest fully.) Any residue on the teeth or gums will protect and heal those tissues of the mouth. Chlorella is also available as powder for mixing with water or other drinks.

A number of companies market chlorella products, some of which contain substantial quantities of contaminants such as mercury and aluminum. In contrast, chlorella from Prime Chlorella is virtually devoid of toxic metal contamination. From my perspective based on clinical experience-I feel that the products from Prime Chlorella Company are unsurpassed for purity and effectiveness.

5 of 5 My favourite chlorella June 16, 2018
Reviewer: Karen Alison  
I've tried different types of chlorella and this is definitely my favourite. It's the best tasting - and I assume that is because it is the best quality (the same way you can taste the difference between organically-grown and conventional produce) - and it is a great pick-me-up or a daily nutrient to help protect from the toxins of our polluted world. Worth buying in quantity since, if you like it, you will want to have lots on hand to take at regular intervals.
