"Now Foods Sun Chlorella is a green single-celled micro algae that contains the highest concentrations of chlorophyll known to man (60mg/serving). Chlorella supplies high levels of Beta-Carotene, Vitamin B-12, iron, RNA and DNA, and protein. The cell wall in Now Foods Chlorella has been broken down mechanically to aid digestibility and has been screened to produce clean, high-quality Chlorella.Q: What is chlorella?A: Chlorella is a microscopic green fresh water plant. Its single-cell structure is the key to its uniquely varied and concentrated supply of vitamins, minerals, protein and other nutrients. Because chlorella is a pure, wholefood, these nutrients are in the form and balance that nature intended.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. It contains more Vitamin B-12 than beef liver: this vitamin is often lacking in many vegetarian diets. Q: How does chlorella work?A: The synergistic effect of the many nutrients contained in chlorella helps to balance and stabilize the body processes at a cellular level. By providing the body nutritional and other tools it needs to function at its optimum capacity and maximum efficiency, daily chlorella intake acts as a "tune-up". People take it every day to look and feel younger. Q: Will chlorella help me loose or gain weight?A: Sun Chlorella is not a "diet" product but many people tell us that when they take chlorella while dieting they often experience a higher level of energy and that they lose their desire for unnecessary snacks. As a whole food that contains 60% protein, yet only 12 calories per serving (15 tablets), chlorella satisfies the appetite while providing the energy that results from good nutrition. Chlorella aids the digestive system through proper elimination while at the same time helping to revitalize the metabolism which results in better assimilation of the foods you do eat. So whether your goal is to gain or lose weight, chlorella can help balance the body so that a real and permanent change can be made in your overall health and weight. Q: Is chlorella a replacement for my vitamins and mineral supplements?A: We recommend chlorella as an addition to your regular supplement program, not as a substitute for it. This is because it can help you get more out of your other supplements. chlorella also provides many nutrients not found in processed supplements, and contains them in their natural, most effective form. Q: How does chlorella compare with barley, wheat grass and alfalfa?A: Many "green" foods are sources of chlorophyll, but by comparison, chlorella is the highest natural source of chlorophyll. The results of a recent laboratory test shows that chlorella has more than five times more milligrams of chlorophyll per serving than wheat grass, twelve times more than barley and nearly 20 times more than alfalfa.In fact, two to three percent of chlorella is chlorophyll - the highest level of any edible plant, and unlike wheat grass, barley and alfalfa, chlorella is a whole food. The whole plant gives us the advantage of all the protoplasmic elements that aid in the growth and development of our cells. In fact, no vitamin or mineral can ever replace the value of a whole food. Q: What is the difference between chlorella and spirulina?A: Both are high in protein and vitamins, but chlorella contains up to 10 times more chlorophyll than spirulina. Studies conducted by a leading microbiologist demonstrate that spirulina is a more primitive organism than chlorella and lacks a true nucleus.The result is a higher quality of nucleic acids in chlorella. Additionally, chlorella provides 12 times more iron than spirulina. Iron is essential to the formation of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of the body and is naturally associated with vitality and a healthy looking complexion. Q: Is chlorella beneficial for body building?A: Absolutely! The nucleic acids in chlorella have enabled this plant to rapidly reproduce its own cells. When we take chlorella, we are taking the nucleic acids that are responsible for this rapid cellular reproduction along with all of the supplemental nutrients required for chlorella's reproductive growth and maintenance of its life cycle.Nucleic acids regulate the production of the body's enzymes, protein and energy. They also help the body use the protein by breaking it into amino acids which are rebuilt into protein according to nucleic acid specifications. Taken in conjunction with protein powder, chlorella can promote a synergistic effect. Plus, chlorella is low in calories and sodium, so it fits right in with today's body builders and their lighter life-styles. Q: What is the difference between chlorella and wakasa and which product should I use?A: Chlorella is a whole food that is the source of a great variety of nutrients. Chlorella tablets and granules contain all of the nutrients found both in the nucleus and the protoplasm of the plant cell. The broken cell wall of the chlorella plant, present in chlorella tablets and granules, also provide a much needed source of dietary fiber.While concentrated Wakasa contains only those nutrients found in the nucleus of the whole chlorella, it is at least 10 to 15 times the potency of whole chlorella. The recommended daily serving of whole chlorella tablets is 15 per day. Wakasa is the perfect compliment to daily chlorella consumption when your system needs a little more help. Q: How much chlorella should I take daily?A: Since chlorella is a whole natural food, you may safely take as much as you like each day. However, we suggest you begin with 1 to 3 tablets with a meal three times daily. Then gradually increase the amount until you are consuming 5 tablets three times a day. Q: Is it allright to take a larger amount of chlorella?A: Yes - after you have gradually introduced it into your daily regimen.

Children under age fifteen should use the number of chlorella tablets daily that corresponds to their age in years. Q: Can I take chlorella while I am pregnant or nursing?A: Yes. As natural whole food products, chlorella is completely safe for mothers and children.
