The Sun Chlorella Difference

If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...
then Sun Chlorella is clearly today's most praised chlorella product on the market.

DYNO-Mill-pulverized-chlorella

Seeing is believing. Take a look at these microscopic images of other chlorella brands and compare them to ours. You will see that the difference is clear! With the other chlorella brands, you can clearly see the cell walls are still intact. This makes it virtually impossible for your body to digest and absorb chlorella's powerful nutrients, which are still locked inside. With Sun Chlorella, the cell walls have been pulverized. Therefore, your body has instant access to this nutritional bounty.

In fact, common "broken cell" chlorella has been shown to contain as little as one percent "broken" cells, which means your body is unable to utilize the powerful nutrients chlorella has to offer. With our exclusive patented DYNO®-Mill processing method, Sun Chlorella is the only chlorella on the market to contain 99% pulverized chlorella. And because we pulverize the outer cell wall so thoroughly, your body receives all the powerful nutrients and the many health benefits of Sun Chlorella.

For over 35 years the Sun Chlorella Company has been producing chlorella products and have seen a lot of imitators try marketing gimmicks to make their products look better than ours. But once you get past all the hype, one fact remains: Sun Chlorella is the best. With all the conflicting information out there, it's understandable that the average health enthusiast would get a little confused.

As the industry leader, Sun Chlorella USA wants to set the record straight. We believe that once you see for yourself, you'll discover how other chlorella products pale in comparison.

Despite the claims of many other companies, not all chlorella products are the same. While many claim to have methods that break through the tough outer cell wall, research has shown that their methods are not as effective.

Nutritional Supplementation with Chlorella for Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic Syndrome While Metabolic Syndrome is not a disease, it is important that individuals who may have signs of Metabolic Syndrome start addressing it now in order to keep themselves healthy going forward. To address Metabolic Syndrome one needs to:

  • lose weight
  • exercise
  • and make dietary changes to lower the intake of salt, saturated fats, simple sugars, and low-fiber carbohydrates while increasing the consumption of fish, monounsaturated oils, and complex carbohydrates.

Comprehensive studies have further suggested that consumption of "whole foods" with their natural complex combination of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fiber help to address metabolic syndrome and help to keep you healthy. Chlorella pyrenoidosa is one such "whole food" and a number of clinical trials we and others have conducted in Japan and the United States have shown that daily ingestion of Chlorella helps ameliorate the symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome by helping to reduce body fat percentage, support blood pressure and total serum cholesterol that are already in the normal range, and fasting glucose levels (1,2) as part of a healthy diet and exercise program.

Direct evidence of how consumption of chlorella helps support normal blood sugar levels that are already in the normal range has only recently come to light. A small pilot clinical study conducted in Japan examined serum components and the expression of several thousand genes in the cells of 17 people with metabolic syndrome who consumed 8.5g of chlorella per day for two months (2). Adding chlorella to their diet along with an exercise regimen led to reductions in body fat percentage, fasting glucose levels, as well as supporting cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range. Furthermore, Gene expression analysis identified the reactivation of genes related to both fat metabolism and insulin signaling pathways. The authors of this study concluded that daily consumption of chlorella may help play a role in promoting overall health and vitality in individuals with metabolic syndrome by supporting the normal expression of genes involved with the insulin signaling pathway and ultimately helping individuals live a healthy vital life.
