What is Chlorella?Chlorella is a green single-celled algae cultivated in fresh water ponds. It has a grass-like smell because of the high amounts of chlorophyll in it, the highest concentration of any plant in the world. It has existed on the plant for billions of years and was one of the first foods to appear. Fossils of Chlorella have been found dating back 3 billion years. Chlorella is one of the healthiest, most potent foods in existence. In addition to being a perfect food for humans, lower grades of Chlorella are fed to livestock all over the world. How is Chlorella grown?Watershed Chlorella is carefully cultivated in huge fresh water ponds. The water it is grown in is ozonated then filtered for purity. Chlorella quadruples approximately every 24 hours, which is a sign of its genetic purity and miraculous abilities to heal our bodies. For instance, Chlorella causes the friendly bacteria in the human stomach (Lactobacilli) to multiple at four times the rate of normal. How is the outer shell of the Chlorella cell broken open?If the cell wall of the Chlorella is not broken open, the nutrients in Chlorella are not accessible, yet not all Chlorella producers adequately open the cell wall. It is this outer fibrous cell wall that differentiates Chlorella from any other algae. It is a unique dietary fiber found no where else in nature that builds up in the body over time, binders with heavy metal, radiation and other synthetic toxins and effectively removes them. The producer of Watershed Chlorella uses the pressure differential method of rupturing the outer fiber shell rather than crushing it as many other Chlorella producers use. We raise the pressure in a holding tank where the Chlorella is stored, then suddenly release it. This is the most effective and organic method of breaking open the cell wall because it does not disturb the nutrients in Chlorella yet allows full access to them. And nothing comes in contact with the Chlorella the way other methods use. By crushing the Chlorella shell, as other Chlorella producers’ practice, many of the nutrients are scattered and do not remain together as they should. Our process opens 99.9% of the Chlorella we produce, the highest open-wall rating of any brand on the market. How is Watershed Chlorella different from your competitors' Chlorella?As discussed, our manufacturer uses a different process, and we believe, more effective method of rupturing Chlorella's fibrous outer shell which is necessary to get at the nutrients. We believe Watershed Chlorella is the finest Chlorella that can be found on the market and most importantly, it is far more economical than much of the other Chlorella you will find on the market. We buy direct and pass along the savings to you. Can a person eat any strain of algae and get some nutrition or is there something special about Chlorella?There are over 70,000 species of algae. Some are highly nutritious, others are extremely toxic. Watershed Chlorella is a very specific strain of algae known as Chlorella Pyrensoida. The only other algae we recommend is Spirulina Pacific, which the Watershed also sells. While there are other consumable algae such as Duniella, a blue-green algae, none approach the nutriceutical properties of Chlorella and Spirulina. When was it discovered?Chlorella Pyrensoida was identified around the end of the 19th century. The Japanese began studying it more closely in the 1940's and are responsible for much of Chlorella's popularity today. The Japanese take more Chlorella per capita than Americans take vitamin C, America's most popular Vitamin. However, Chlorella is many times more powerful a whole-food than any other multivitamin or supplement on the market. Why haven't I heard about it before?While Chlorella is very popular in Japan and throughout the Orient, it has only recently gained notoriety in the West. It has not become a popularized fad such as Melatonin, MSM, St. 's Wort and other herbs that explode on the market then disappear quickly when interest is lost in them. Chlorella is slowly becoming more widely known as its astounding and profound health benefits are revealed through scientific study and word of mouth. Because of its incredible nutritive properties, when Chlorella finally does become a household word, its stay with us will be permanent, not temporary like so many of the herbs and hormones that have made it onto the cover of popular news magazines. Where does it come from?Watershed Chlorella is grown in Taiwan by the world's largest Chlorella manufacturer. They have no other business but that of cultivating and selling Chlorella. It is scrutinized for purity and bacterial contamination by on-site laboratories. It is a highly regulated product and is the only Chlorella in the world exported and allowed to be sold in Japan that is not produced in Japan. To achieve this, it had to be certified by the Japanese Ministry of Health, which is the only governmental health authority in the world to have adopted and standardized Chlorella quality and certification. What are the main health benefits of Chlorella?Besides the fact that it is a perfect food which provides the body with nearly all its nutritional needs, it is a powerful Immune System Builder, extremely Detoxifying and excellent for the Digestion. The various health benefits of Chlorella are discussed in this and other Watershed related articles. How much scientific research has been done on Chlorella?Chlorella is one of the MOST scientifically researched foods in human history, as is Spirulina, which NASA has determined will be one of the first foods grown on the space station when it is completed. The research done on both of these has come from all over the world by scientists at universities, private industry and Chlorella manufacturers themselves. Not a single negative aspect of Chlorella has ever been sited as far as human health is concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
