Chlorella

Chlorella, or Chlorella vulgaris, is a unicellular freshwater microalgae whose exceptional nutritional and detoxifying properties make it one of the most complete superfoods on the planet. At Herba Barona, your specialist shop at 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris, we offer three chlorella supplements rigorously selected for their purity, their broken-cell-wall ratio guaranteeing optimal bioavailability, and their controlled origin.

Chlorella’s nutritional composition is unmatched in its richness. With a protein content exceeding sixty percent of its dry weight, it offers a complete profile of essential amino acids. It concentrates remarkable amounts of chlorophyll, the green pigment it owes its name to, as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E and K, minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium and potassium, and essential omega-3 fatty acids.

Chlorella’s most distinctive property is its capacity to bind heavy metals and organic pollutants. Its cell wall, made up of cellulose and sporopollenin, has a natural affinity for metal ions such as mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic. By binding to these substances in the digestive tract, chlorella supports their elimination through the body’s natural pathways and limits their reabsorption. This binding property is especially valuable for Paris residents exposed to urban pollution.

For chlorella to release its intracellular nutrients, its extremely resistant cell wall must first be broken down. All of our chlorella products at Herba Barona have undergone a mechanical or enzymatic cell-wall-breaking process, guaranteeing a digestibility rate above eighty percent. This processing step is essential, and it’s what sets a quality chlorella apart from a low-end product whose nutrients would otherwise remain inaccessible to digestion.

Chlorella’s benefits for the immune system are documented by numerous studies. CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor), specific to chlorella, is associated with the proliferation of immune cells and interferon production. The beta-glucan found in its cell wall helps activate macrophages and natural killer cells. This dual immune-supporting action makes chlorella a supplement of choice for supporting the body’s natural defences, particularly during winter months or periods of intense stress.

Chlorella’s richness in chlorophyll gives it remarkable purifying and alkalising properties. Chlorophyll supports tissue oxygenation, supports the skin’s natural healing processes, has an internal deodorising effect, and helps maintain the body’s acid-base balance. Its molecular structure, similar to that of haemoglobin, explains its favourable effect on blood quality and oxygen transport.

Chlorella is generally taken in three-month courses to achieve a significant detoxifying effect. It’s recommended to start with small doses and increase gradually, allowing the body to adapt to the detoxification process. Our advisors will help you set up your chlorella supplementation plan, taking into account your individual sensitivity and goals.
