Chlorella and its benefits

What is chlorella?

It is a type of algae that grows in fresh water. It is widely available in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan.

There are more than 30 different species, but two: Chlorella vulgaris & Chlorella pyrenoidosa are the most commonly used.

And because it contains a solid cell wall that the human digestive system cannot digest, it is taken as an external food supplement to get the most out of it.
