Chlorella is highly nutritious
30 grams of ground dried chlorella contains 16 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat (for a total of 115 calories!), Making this a strategic smoothie component for dieters.
She is loaded with vitamins
The same 30-gram serving contains literally a loading dose of vitamins: 130% of the daily value of zinc, 300% of vitamin A, 110% of iron, as well as vitamin C, which contributes to the absorption of the latter. It is also an important source of vitamins B1 and B2.

It is a plant source of omega-3
Ideal for vegans and those who do not want to consume animal products for a variety of reasons: Chlorella is rich in omega-3 (much richer than the famous spirulina), as well as the omega-6 we need.
It is high in antioxidants
This means that taking chlorella will help us maintain youthfulness and radiance of our skin, as well as fight the negative effects on the body of environmental stresses that we are exposed to every day in a big city.

It removes heavy metals from the body
Chlorella's special structure helps its molecules bind heavy metals and remove them from the body, promoting detoxification and overall cleansing. In addition, it also helps to neutralize dioxin, a hormone disruptor that is toxic to the human body.
