CHLORELLA

Chlorella is a species of green algae that grows in fresh water. Chlorella belongs to the eucaryotic cell category of algae as a single cell plant. Its size is about that of a human erythrocyte between 2 – 8 micros in diameter. This life form emerged over 540 million years ago and was the first form of plant with a well-defined nucleus. There are fossils from the pre-Cambrian period that clearly indicate the presence of chlorella. Deriving its name from the Greek, chloross meaning green and ella meaning small.
Chlorella is one of the highest natural sources of chlorophyll cotaining 20 times the chlorophyll of alfalfa nearly 10 times that of spirullina, 8 times that of wheat grass and 10 times that of barley grass. Chlorella is a fast growing plant with rapid cell growth. It reproduces it self from a single cell into four new cells every 20 -24 hours.
Sun chlorella is common name for Chlorella pyrenoidosa – a nutritionally superior species of chlorella and is a natural whole food supplement derived from freshwater single-celled green algae, super-concentrated with key vitamins and antioxidants including : vitamin C, beta –carotene, chlorophyll, lutein, thiamine, riboflavine, pyridoxine, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, choline, vitamin K, lipoic acid and inositol. Certain minerals including : phosphorous, calcium, zinc, iodine, magnesium, iron and copper. Sun chlorella is rich in nucleic acid, dietary fiber, omega fatty acids, amino acids and Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). Since additives are almost impossible to avoid in today’s food supply, it is important to take Sun Chlorella.
Sun Chlorella Wakasa is the only product available on the market that has the concentrated power of CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor). Derived from the nucleus of the chlorella plant, CGF is a nucleotide – peptide complex rich in naturally-occurring polysaccharides and nucleic acids. The extensive studies with CGF have shown that it has an amazing ability to stimulate faster, healthier cell growth in young children. For adults as a result of efficient cell renewal, the body can maintain its peak level of mental and physical performance.
The body can enjoy faster recovery from stress and strenuous activities, reduced signs of visible aging, healthier skin and the feeling of renewed energy. CGF can also strengthen the natural defenses by stimulating the production of white blood cell which supports the body’s natural defense system to fight against illnesses.

Vitamin : Ester C as Antioxidant

Free radicals are produced by the very act of breathing. Excessive production is stimulated by tobacco, alcohol, food, drug, chemicals radiation, high intake of saturated or fried fats. Cross linking a free radical activity produces aging of the skin, tissues and hardening of the arteries. Antioxidant is solution to prevent increased free radical production. Ester C as antioxidant to perform many critical functions within the body involving detoxification, tissue building, immune enhancement, pain control and controlling or killing pathogenic organisms. It is known to be helpful for wound and bone healing, healthy skin and eyes, fighting infections, stress control, toxic exposure.
In comparison to the ascorbic acid form of vitamin C, studied indicate that Ester C :
• Increases white blood cell.
• Circulates in the blood stream twice as long.
• Is excreted in to the urine at a lower rate.
• Has less tendency to create gastro intestinal discomfort.
