Our story starts with our founder, Hideo Nakayama, and his road to discovering health and vitality. A friend suggested he try Chlorella, and within three weeks, he was seeing positive results.

Determined by his survival and newly discovered health, Mr. Nakayama wanted to share Chlorella with the world. If it had helped him in his time of despair, surely it must have helped others. He left his engineering business to start a company with the mission of spreading the word about Chlorella to whoever would listen.



He began Sun Chlorella Corp. with just a storefront in 1969 but felt too limited by the four walls. He started advertising in newspapers and producing educational materials to reach more people. This way he could communicate Chlorella's latest research plus share his customers' reviews of Chlorella with others who could benefit from the blue-green algae's immense benefits. Now almost half a century later, Sun Chlorella has grown into an international corporation with offices throughout the world, and Mr. Nakayama's products have reached millions. And the rest is Sun Chlorella history.
