Chlorella FAQ

Why should I take Chlorella?
Chlorella's range of benefits is astounding, and includes:

• Detoxification*
• Improving your digestive system and decreasing occasional constipation*
• Allowing you to focus more clearly and for a greater duration*
• Promoting a healthy body pH*
• Helping to promote fresh breath*

How does chlorella work?
Chlorella is a natural product, and its nutrients are bio-chelated, which means that they are wrapped in amino acids so your body will more readily absorb them.

Supplements, on the other hand, are nothing more than an amalgam of concentrates and extracts that have been artificially stitched together because -- at least on paper -- they look like they should provide balanced nutrition.

Can children take chlorella?
We recommend consulting your pediatrician before giving your child chlorella.

Can I take my prescription and chlorella at the same time?
Please contact your medical doctor for this information, but it is not a problem for most medications.

What is the shelf life of chlorella?
Chlorella has a two-year shelf life if stored in a cool, dry place.

How do I store chlorella?
Chlorella is best stored in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.

How many chlorella capsules are in a bottle?
There are 180 capsules per bottle (approximately a one month supply).

How do I know if I should not take chlorella because of high iron levels?

You can check the article on iron overload, which has the details on how you would make this assessment.

Do you ship this product internationally?
Yes, we do ship this product internationally.

Can I open the capsule and just take the powder?
It would be best to take the product as is, but you can just consume the powder directly.

What are the ingredients?
Our chlorella product consists of 100% pure chlorella powder, and the capsule contains gelatin, water and glycerin.

How soon will I see results?
Once you have started taking chlorella, it takes several months for detoxification to begin.*

How big are the capsules?
The capsules are roughly the same size as a typical jellybean.

What is the recommended dosage?
Three grams per day is a good maintenance dosage of chlorella. Each capsule in the 180 capsule container contains 450 mg, so that means you should take between 6-7 capsules per day if you choose to take this amount.

However, this dosage level will provide a significant amount of iron. If you are a man or a post-menopausal woman check your ferritin level before taking this high a dose, and check with your doctor.

The seal was broken on my chlorella; is this product still safe to take?
Although it is probably safe for consumption, just to be safe we will replace the bottle for you at no cost and set up a UPS call tag to be sent to you. For a replacement, please contact one of our customer service representatives. (Please choose "Existing Ticket" and enter your ticket number.)
