What is chlorella?
Just like its cousin spirulina, chlorella is a nutrient-rich freshwater algae, usually available as a dark green powder or tablet. Chlorella contains proteins, fibers, fats and antioxidants – and it is in high demand as a supplement.
Chlorella powder or tablets?

Consult a professional
Before you start with chlorella, especially if you have existing health problems or use medication, it is advisable to consult a health professional first. Due to the lack of safety data, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
