Chlorelle (Chlorella vulgaris)

Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) is a unicellular freshwater microalgae that has been cultivated for several decades for its remarkable nutritional properties. It stands out for its high content of complete proteins, chlorophyll, B vitamins (including a B12 analogue), iron, zinc, and antioxidants such as lutein and beta-carotene. Thanks to its richness in chlorophyll and dietary fibre, chlorella is recognised for contributing to the body's natural detoxification processes, particularly by binding to certain heavy metals and toxins to support their elimination. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness, in connection with its iron and B vitamin content. Chlorella supplementation is of particular interest to people looking to complement a vegetarian or vegan diet, or to support the body's natural elimination mechanisms. Its broad nutritional spectrum makes it a versatile ingredient, commonly available in tablet or powder form.
