Chlorella is a single-cell, fresh-water green algae that is one of the most nutrient-dense superfoods that nature has created; and just so happens to be one of the fastest growing plants on earth! Being a health coach, I am looking for natural sources of plant food that contains the optimal nutrients needed for overall health and healing for myself and my clients.
Chlorella contains more chlorophyll than most plants, which is important in creating an alkaline environment in the body and makes it a powerful detoxifier. Aside from being a complete protein source, with all the amino acids, it contains all B vitamins, (and thus one of the few plant-based sources of B-12), high amounts of vitamin c, vitamin E and major minerals such as magnesium, zinc and iron. Chlorella improves the immune system, accelerates healing, relieves aches and pains, and detoxifies your cells, blood, and tissues. It also has a unique compound called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) which stimulates tissue repair, speeds cell turnover rate, accelerates muscle recovery and even slows the signs of aging!
Yaeyama Chlorella is a superior source of Chlorella. As Yarrow Formulas attests, it is “grown in the environmentally pristine coral reef region of Japan’s Ishigaki Island using mountain spring water, tropical sunshine and food grade nutrients. Yaeyama Chlorella cell walls are broken by high impact jet-spray drying that pulverizes the algae wall for increased absorption of its vital nutrients.”
This powder form of Chlorella is messier than pill forms; however, you can get substantially more out of the powder than in capsule form. I take so many supplements a day, I am not looking to take an additional 6+ pills a day. It is dark green in color, and I mix it into my OJ every day. I have also mixed it in plain water, as well as into my smoothies. Sometimes, to make the process easier, I spoon out a weeks’ worth of powder (I actually take a Tablespoon a day) and mix it into a bit of water, and shake it up until it makes a very intense green water. I store it into a Mason Jar in my refrigerator, and each day, I shake it up (as the sediment sinks to the bottom) and just pour it into my juice, water, or smoothie. It makes is much easier to consume daily, and I don’t have to deal with the messy powder. I would not mix more than a few days to a week in advance, as it is best to keep it fresh.
If you get powder on your towels, or clothes, it makes a dark green mess, but is easily cleaned out. I love the taste of it! Don’t get me wrong, it definitely has a “green” “earthy” “grassy” flavor to it, but I actually enjoy that taste, and I have noticed my clients get used to it over time. If nothing else, this miracle plant is so packed with nutrients, and is a perfect food source, just grin and bear it and suck it down! The benefits far outweigh the “green” taste!
I love this brand, and use Jarrow for many of my supplement needs. This is my favorite Chlorella source and I will continue to purchase it!

Its not radioactive!
This is a terrific price point on Chlorella. It's a fine powder, throw it into a smoothie or if you're brave, wash it down with juice.I'm not going to go into a ton of details about the benefits-- none of it has really been proven. Jarrow doesn't print the nutrition info on the label which to me is fantastically odd. Isn't that more or less the point of this? Nevertheless, I feel a noticeable increase in energy when I take Chlorella. I have a 1 year old-- I'll take any advantage I can get.All Chlorella will turn your smoothies green to gray depending on what other colors exist. The taste is not unpleasant, but it does often make me wistful for Monterey Bay.Last but not least, some reviewers have expressed concerns about radioactivity from Fukushima. I just happen to have a radiation meter and can assure you that at least the powder I received did not exhibit elevated levels of radiation. :-)
