You want the best nutrition for your family. However, making sure each of your family members has their unique nutritional needs met can seem overwhelming. Perhaps your son is not eating enough vegetables (something many of us can relate to).

Each of your family members will have specific nutritional needs to achieve optimal health and wellness, but how do you go about meeting such a wide variety of needs?

While there's no "one-size-fits-all" meal plan or nutritional supplement, there is one green superfood that comes pretty close: Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Chlorella is a single-celled, green algae that has an abundance of amazing health benefits. Chlorella pyrenoidosa is widely known as a highly nutritious species of chlorella. Here’s how it can play a big part in keeping your family happy and healthy.  

How Chlorella May Help Support Your Family’s Nutrition Plan

Keeping your family healthy can be hard. Walking down the supplement aisle of your local health food store isn't an easy feat when you're bombarded with products claiming to be the next best superfood or the perfect thing to boost your wellness. Besides, ending up with a massive collection of ¾ full vitamin bottles your family still hasn't finished after a year isn’t beneficial for their health or your wallet. 

So, why should you add yet another superfood or nutritional supplement to your cupboard? 

There's a good reason why people all over the world are starting to take chlorella. Chlorella can be taken by everyone from kids to teens to moms and even to grandparents. In fact, chlorella’s nutrient properties provide a useful aid to the body at every stage of life.

Ok, let’s get to it! Here’s why chlorella is one of the only superfoods that can meet your family's different nutritional needs at once- including your pets!

Chlorella Helps Support Your Immune System 

As a superfood, chlorella provides several antioxidant vitamins, such as beta-carotene, which supports your body’s natural purification process. 

Chlorella is a source of nucleic acids found in a substance called Chlorella Growth Factor (or CGF), which helps to support cellular repair and regeneration. And the healthier your cells are, the more support your immune system will have for all ages. From elementary kids that share their favorite toys (and germs) in the classroom and on the playground to elderly families looking to support and boost immunity, chlorella can aid the body’s defense system.

We naturally produce RNA and DNA from the moment we're born, but as we get older, we produce less. Both RNA and DNA contribute to the overall function of a healthy immune system, so as you can guess, it's helpful to obtain nucleic acids from dietary sources.

Chlorella May Help Keep Gums and Teeth Healthy 

As explained by Dr. Mark Drucker, people take chlorella for countless reasons, including their dental health. Chlorella contains chlorophyll, which may help freshen your breath and keep your family's teeth and gums healthy.

Dr. Drucker explains the results of a study done on chlorophyll and dental health. “In a study conducted at the Nebraskan orphanage, Boy's Town, 589 boys took part in a "toothbrushing experiment." One group of boys used regular toothpaste dyed green with food coloring, while the other group brushed with toothpaste spiked with chlorophyll. The group brushing with chlorophyll had a 58-70% improvement in dental health. This contrasts dramatically with the 28% improvement experienced by the non-chlorophyll group." [1]

You already know chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green color, but did you know chlorophyll can act as a beneficial antioxidant in the body? The darker green a plant is, the more chlorophyll it contains and the more nutrients. Chlorella is one of the highest food sources of this chlorophyll nutrient, and Sun Chlorella provides supplement options to make obtaining this nutrient as easy as possible.  

Using chlorella to support your family's dental health (including your pets!) can be done by adding Sun Chlorella® powder to your toothpaste, taking Sun Chlorella tablets as a whole food supplement each day, and rewarding your pet with Rejuv-A-Wafers® pet treats made from chlorella. (That’s right, your favorite addition to the family needs all the health and wellness you do!)

Chlorella May Help With Energy Levels

Personally, I think everyone in my family could do with a little more energy- what about you? 

Due to this unique algae's ability to support your body's normal detoxification process, it's a superfood you'll want to include in your green juices or smoothies to enhance their nutritional value and energy-boosting benefits.
 

Chlorella also contains several essential vitamins, minerals, and nucleic acids needed for energy, including active B12, the vitamin B12 your body can readily use to support your energy level. Active B12 is typically found in animal products such as meat, chicken, eggs, and dairy products, which is why chlorella is an ideal supplement for those who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. Chlorella allows them to meet their B12 needs as it is one of the only plant sources containing active B12. [2]

As a superfood supplement, chlorella is more than a vitamin, mineral, or natural source of wellness. It may support your family's health on countless levels and deliver a dose of nutrition that every life stage can benefit from. Whether it's your teenager, puppy or senior pet, mother, or great-grandmother, chlorella offers your family the balanced combination of essential nutrients needed for vitality, energy, and good quality of life. While your teens may want energy to stay awake through history class, your aging parents may want energy to help them stay alert through their grandchild’s piano recital; chlorella can help with both.

Important Note About Chlorella Supplements 

Not all chlorella supplements are created equal. Due to chlorella's unique make-up, it has an outer shell that is indigestible by humans and must undergo processing so we can absorb its powerful health benefits. Some varieties of chlorella may use processing techniques that expose chlorella to chemicals and high temperatures. This damages chlorella's delicate nutrients.

When choosing a chlorella supplement, the highest quality chlorella supplements will be: 

Pulverized Cell (Using Pressure Instead of Heat and Chemicals)

A pulverized cell wall supplement is dramatically more bioavailable than others whose process suggests a broken or cracked chlorella cell wall. Pulverization techniques, such as DYNO®-Mill processing, break down chlorella's tough cell wall using only pressure, which increases chlorella's digestibility. Pulverized chlorella is available in tablets, powder, or granule form from Sun Chlorella.

Tested for Heavy Metals

Chlorella can absorb heavy metals if they're present in the water it's grown in. It's important to choose a chlorella supplement that undergoes regular heavy metal batch testing.

Packed in Safe Packaging

Many types of packaging contain BPA, an endocrine-disrupting toxin found in plastic, which can contaminate the chlorella supplement.

Free from Fillers and Additives

The last thing your body needs is unnecessary additives in the chlorella supplement you're taking. High-quality chlorella supplements are free from fillers and additives, such as magnesium stearate.

At Sun Chlorella USA, we take pride in our chlorella supplements because they meet- and surpass- all of these guidelines and more.
