Chlorella is a single-celled, green freshwater algae. This nutrient-dense algae has been receiving a lot of recognition for its health benefits.

Chlorella is 50–60% protein. What's more, it's a complete protein source, which means that it contains all nine essential amino acids.

Chlorella can be a good source of iron, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C. These tiny green cells provide a wide range of antioxidants. Chlorella also contains magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium, calcium, folic acid and other B vitamins.

As with other algaes, chlorella contains some omega-3s. Just 3 grams of chlorella delivers 100 mg of omega-3s.

In large quantities, chlorella can be a good source of fiber. Furthermore, as a supplement, it has shown promise in improving cholesterol levels and ridding the body of toxins.

Because chlorella has a hard cell wall that humans cannot digest, it has to be taken as a supplement to reap its benefits.

Studies have shown that it's effective at helping remove heavy metals and other harmful compounds from the body. It has been shown to weaken the heavy metal toxicity of the liver, brain and kidneys. Chlorella may help the body detox by binding to heavy metals and other toxins.

Chlorella has been found to enhance the immune response, in a small study, subjects produced more antibodies when taking chlorella than when they took a placebo. In another small study, healthy adults who took chlorella showed markers of increased immune activity.

The nutrients found in chlorella, including niacin, fiber, carotenoids and antioxidants, may help lower cholesterol levels. Chlorella contains several compounds that are considered antioxidants, including chlorophyll, vitamin C, beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein. Many of its nutrients have been shown to prevent arteries from hardening.

Taking chlorella supplements may help lower blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in chlorella may have anti-inflammatory effects.

Chlorella has been shown to improve markers of liver health, it also eases digestion and reduces bloating. Chlorella has also been claimed to improve energy levels and reduce the symptoms of PMS.
