The Emerald Single-Celled Powerhouse of Fresh Waters

Possessing the highest concentration of Chlorophyll of any known organism on Earth, Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a microscopic spherical green alga that reproduces at an astonishing rate, quadrupling its cell count every 20 to 24 hours.


1. Chlorella Growth Factor ($CGF$)

Extracted from the cell nucleus, Chlorella Growth Factor ($CGF$) is a complex mixture of nucleotides, peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides:


  • Accelerates the physiological repair and renewal of damaged cellular tissues and supports natural leukocyte production.

  • Sporopollenin Outer Wall: In "cracked cell-wall" preparations, the fibrous outer membrane binds tightly to organic toxins (pesticides, dioxins) and heavy metals in the gut lumen, assisting natural excretion.
