Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) is a blue-green algae, regarded as one of the world's most complete foods. It is known as a popular basis to detoxification programmes. However, it is increasingly regarded as a useful general dietary supplement that provides broad support for a healthy diet. It is popular among people with active lifestyles. Two notable components of Chlorella are the green pigment Chlorophyll and Chlorella Growth Factor. Chlorella contains Vitamins A, B12 and D and minerals which include Iodine, Iron, Manganese and Phosphorous. Rainforest Foods Chlorella is produced organically on an island in the South China Sea using photosynthesis, the natural process by which plants absorb energy from sunlight. Batches of algae grow, multiplying naturally and rapidly in pools of pure water. They are harvested when they reach the required density. A Chlorella cell has a tough outer wall. While the cell wall is an aid to detoxification as it binds toxins to it as we digest the Chlorella, it also creates a barrier which reduces the amount of nutrients available from within the cell. Our Chlorella is a type known as 'broken cell wall Chlorella'. After harvesting, the Chlorella cell walls are broken by a high-impact jet spray process before the Chlorella is dried and milled to powder. The cell wall-breaking process does not damage the contents, but does make them more available for absorption. Since it began, Rainforest Foods' purpose has been to help people combine good nutrition with modern living. Realising that a return to time-rich living close to the land is just not possible, we have sourced a range of wholefoods whose exceptional nutritional richness can support modern lifestyles rather than forcing them to change. We look all around the world for these foods, and have them processed in a way that keeps as much nutrition as possible while making them convenient for you to use.
