Organic Chlorella & Spirulina Dual Capsule - 180x 400mg

If you are looking to supplement your diet with both spirulina and chlorella, why not try our combined 400mg capsule which contains 200mg of organic chlorella and 200mg of organic spirulina in each capsule.

Chlorella is a single-celled, fresh-water algae, which contains a wealth of vitamins and minerals, amino acids, protein, fiber, and nucleic acids, as well as an extremely high amount of chlorophyll.  Chlorella contains nearly all the vitamins, minerals, and proteins required to maintain optimal health. It is also know to alleviate a vast array of ailments by promoting overall strength and vitality.  It is particularly high in essential acids such as L-lysine and L-phenylalanine, often lacking in vegetarian diets. It is also a rich source of the branched-chain amino acids—L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine, which are used by many athletes for muscle building and repair, and increased energy levels.

Chlorella has a tough fibrous cell wall that makes up approximately 20% of its weight.  It is this cell wall that helps with detoxification, binding a variety of toxins to it and helping the body eliminate them.  This cell wall also acts as a barrier, reducing the amount of nutrients within the cell that are accessible to users.  Our chlorella has had its cell wall broken using a mechanical treatment without the use of damaging heat.  This increases the nutrients that are available for absorption.

Chlorella has one of the highest concentrations of chlorophyll in the plant world, at close to 4% of its weight.  Chlorophyll is a potent detoxifier and can enhance the body’s ability to cleanse the blood, bowel and liver.  It aids the body in the transportation of oxygen and helps mitigate the effects of anaemia.  It also contains a valuable source of magnesium that is in a form that is easily absorbed.

Within the cell wall we have chlorella growth factor (CGF), which is a powerful immune system stimulator that aids the bodies natural defences against viruses and cancer, and speeds the healing of damaged tissue.  CGF is primarily composed of nucleic acid derivatives such as RNA and DNA which help govern cell growth, reproduction and repair.

Spirulina is one of a number of superfoods that are attracting increasing media attention.  Ironically, Spirulina is actually an ancient life form, a microscopic blue-green algae that has been in existence for over 3.6 billion years.  It is thus one of Earth’s oldest life forms.  Although it is relatively new to the West, the health enhancing properties of spirulina have been recognised in other parts of the world, such as Mexico and North Africa, for centuries.

The growing popularity of spirulina is easy to understand when you look at its amazing nutritional properties.  The main ingredient is protein and this typically forms around 60-70% of the product.  What makes this protein so useful is that is highly digestible, up to five times easier to digest than meat or soy protein.  In addition, this protein contains all 8 of the essential amino acids.  These are the amino acids that our body can’t manufacture.  This means that it is an excellent source of protein for vegetarians.  In addition to protein, spirulina is also loaded with important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12 (often lacking in a vegetarian diet), vitamin A, B-1, B-2, and B-6, iron, calcium and antioxidants.  Finally, spirulina is rich in other important chemicals such as trace elements, phytonutrients and enzymes.  Modern science is only just beginning to uncover the vital role that these play in good health, but many of them seem to act as natural disease regulators.

NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS:

Why buy your Chlorella & Spirulina Capsules from Rainforest Foods?

1) They're Organic

The debate over the relative merits of organic and non-organic foods is ongoing.  However, there is widespread evidence that show certain organic foods have a better nutritional profile than their non-organic counterparts.  Specifically, more vitamins and minerals and less harmful substances such as pesticides and herbicides. 

Organic farming is also less harmful to the environment resulting in improved biodiversity, reduced energy usage (approximately 27% less than non-organic) and less environmental pollution from herbicides and pesticides.
