What is Organic Chlorella Powder?
Organic Chlorella Powder is meticulously crafted from 100% pure, organically cultivated Chlorella vulgaris. We carefully harvest, gently dry, and process the chlorella, often undergoing a cell wall breaking process to enhance nutrient bioavailability and digestibility.
Chlorella is globally recognized for its exceptional nutritional density, featuring a complete amino acid profile (typically 50-60% protein), and an abundance of essential vitamins (B complex, C, E), minerals (Iron, Magnesium, Zinc), and powerful detoxifying compounds like chlorophyll and its unique Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). This versatile powder offers a convenient and effective way to integrate this powerhouse superfood into various product applications, naturally boosting their nutritional value and appeal.

FAQs
Q: What is the typical protein content of your Organic Chlorella Powder?
A: Our Organic Chlorella Powder typically contains 50-60% protein by dry weight, making it an excellent source of complete plant-based protein.
Q: Is Organic Chlorella Powder considered vegan and gluten-free?
A: Yes, our Organic Chlorella Powder is made from 100% chlorella, making it inherently vegan and gluten-free. It contains no animal products or common allergens.
Q: How does the “broken cell wall” processing benefit Organic Chlorella Powder?
A: The cell wall of chlorella is very rigid. A method to break the cell wall (e.g., through mechanical milling or high-pressure jets) is often employed to enhance the digestibility and nutrient bioavailability of the chlorella, allowing for better absorption of its dense nutritional content by the human body.
