Description

Latin Name: Chlorella Vulgaris

Origin Country: South Korea

– Chlorella is a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.

– Chlorella is rich in antioxidants like chlorophyll, which can help neutralize free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress, as also may help reduce signs of aging and improve skin elasticity.

– Chlorella may act as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

– It can help improve digestion and alleviate issues like constipation.

– Chlorella may help promote a feeling of fullness, which can aid in weight management efforts.

If you’re new to chlorella, start with a smaller dose (1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to avoid digestive discomfort. Drink plenty of water when consuming chlorella to help your body adjust. Keep chlorella powder in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.

-Smoothies

Add 1-2 teaspoons of chlorella powder to your favourite smoothie recipe. It pairs well with fruits like bananas, berries, and mangoes, which can help mask its strong taste. Blend together 1 banana, 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of nut butter, and 1 teaspoon of chlorella powder.

-Water or Herbal Tea

Stir 1 teaspoon of chlorella powder into a glass of water or herbal tea. To enhance flavour, consider adding lemon or honey.

-Soups and Broths

Sprinkle chlorella powder into soups, broths, or stews during cooking. Use 1 teaspoon for a nutrient boost without altering the flavour significantly.

-Baked Goods

Incorporate chlorella powder into your baking recipes, such as muffins, pancakes, or energy bars. Replace a small portion of flour (up to 10% of the total flour) with chlorella powder.

– Chlorella vulgaris is generally considered safe for most people when taken in appropriate doses.

– However, there can be side effects, especially if taken in large doses such as nausea, diarrhoea, bloating, cramping.

– Some individuals may experience allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing.

– While chlorella is considered safe for most people, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before taking it.
