What is chlorella?

Chlorella is a freshwater green algae rich in protein and known for its dietary fibre content. It is distinctive for its high chlorophyll content, which gives it its vivid green colour. Chlorella is commercially available as a dietary supplement and is consumed globally for its potential health benefits. 

What are the benefits of chlorella powder?

Chlorella powder is a good source of vitamins D and B12, which are not typically found in plant-derived foods. It’s also a source of vitamins A, B, C and E, providing more folate and iron than other plant sources. Chlorella is an antioxidant that may help support immunity, help regulate blood sugar levels and support fat metabolism. It may also support heart health by lowering cholesterol.

How to consume chlorella powder 

To consume chlorella powder, start with a small dose, about half a teaspoon, and gradually increase to one teaspoon daily to prevent digestive discomfort. 

For a quick boost, add it to smoothies, juices or plain water. For a nutritious twist, sprinkle it over salads or stir it into salad dressings. Always blend it thoroughly to avoid clumps and enhance its mild, slightly grassy flavour. 

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to aid absorption and digestion. Consult your healthcare professional for more advice on consuming chlorella powder.

What is better: chlorella powder or spirulina?

Choosing between chlorella powder and spirulina depends largely on specific health goals due to their unique benefits. 

Chlorella is valued for its omega-3 fatty acid content, and is also a good source of chlorophyll and has a strong nutritional profile that supports wellbeing. 

Spirulina, on the other hand, excels in its antioxidant capacity due to higher levels of phycocyanin. Both offer nutritional benefits as dietary supplements but are not a substitute for a balanced diet.
