Chlorella is an ancient plant that has survived the ages with each cell being self-sufficient and capable of all life-sustaining functions..
Chlorella is a single-celled, fresh-water green algae. Its name is devised from the fact that it contains pound for pound, the highest concentration of chlorophyll of any known plant.
The hot extract of chlorella stimulates the production of interferon. The substance responsible for this is known as chlorellan, which is a life force stimulant produced by the excitation of macrophage activity. Several studies have been done on the direct and indirect influence of Chlorella on the inhibition and prevention of cancer.
