Overview
Chlorella belongs to the eucaryotic cell category of algae and lives in fresh water as a single celled plant. Its single-cell structure is the key to its uniquely varied and concentrated supply of vitamins, minerals, protein and other nutrients. The name chlorella derives from two Latin words meaning 'leaf' (green) and 'small', referring to the unusually high content of chlorophyll which gives chlorella its characteristic deep emerald-green color. Chlorella is also rich in protein, vitamins, minerals,"C.G.F." (Chlorella Growth Factor) and other beneficial substances. Under favorable growth conditions; strong sunlight, pure water and clean air, chlorella multiplies at an incredible rate.

Chlorella has more than 20 different vitamins and minerals and provides an abundance of naturally occurring beta carotene. Chlorella is 50 to 60% protein, is the highest source of chlorophyll and also contains iron, iodine, zinc and lysine.
