Be sure to read, The Truth About Chlorella
- Chinese chlorella is the most contaminated in the world
- Japanese chlorella is said to be non-radioactive
- There are two kinds: vulgaris and pyrenoidosa. Vulgaris is more digestible, pyrenoidosa has superior detoxifying properties
- Yaeyama is a vulgaris subspecies from Japan
- Chlorella´s cell walls protect their nutrients and needs to be opened somehow
- There are different ways to open the cell walls, most of them either destroy the internal nutrients or don´t open the walls enough to make it digestible. There are several methods of opening the cell walls, some of them damage nutrients. The techniques that seem to do the least damage to nutrients are Sound Vibration and Pressure Release, so find out how a brand breaks the cell wall before purchasing.
