Chlorella Broken-Cell Tablets

Chlorella vulgaris, a single-celled freshwater algae encased in a cellulose wall too tough for the human gut to break down whole. Ours is cracked mechanically before pressing, so what is inside the cell — chlorophyll, protein, a dense mineral load — is actually reachable rather than passing straight through. The tablets press to a small, deep, almost bottle-green disc, faintly of pond water and dried seaweed. Chlorella became a fixture of the mid-century Japanese health food movement and has kept its reputation since as a cleansing whole food, prized for its concentrated chlorophyll and a folk belief that it binds to what the body would rather be rid of. It is traditionally valued as a daily green food rather than an occasional tonic, taken as part of an ordinary diet. Six tablets daily with a full glass of water, no blender or green smoothie required. Some split the dose between morning and evening rather than taking all six at once. Chlorella is a whole food supplement, not a treatment for any condition, and it should not stand in for a doctor's advice on detoxification or diet. Two hundred tablets per jar, 250 mg each, tested for purity and verified for a properly broken cell wall. A handful of small tablets with water, no blender required.
