One of the first photosynthetic lifeforms
Chlorella is an ancient, single-celled microalgae specially grown on Ishagaki-shima, a pristine island just south of Okinawa, Japan. One of the first photosynthetic lifeforms on the planet, Chlorella, like Spirulina, was responsible for creating our oxygen-rich atmosphere and making animal life possible.
Chlorella repairs its own DNA
Scientists believe that chlorella has survived for nearly 2.5 billion years in freshwater lakes and streams due to Chlorella Growth Factor, or CGF. CGF is a combination of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), nucleopeptides, glycoproteins, polysaccharides, beta glucans and sulfur that gives Chlorella the ability to repair its own DNA. CGF has been intensely studied for its immune enhancing, tissue building and blood cleansing benefits.
Contains 60% biologically-complete Protein
As well as containing an array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes, Chlorella contains 5% chlorophyll, more than any other plant food, and is 60% biologically-complete protein. Under normal conditions, Chlorella’s cell wall is undigestable, but Yaeyama’s patented low-temperature Jet-Spray Technology gently cracks the cell and allows for the absorption of important nutrients.
