Chlorella Powder

Description

Latin Name: Chlorella Vulgaris

Origin Country: South Korea

– Chlorella is a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.

– It is rich in antioxidants like chlorophyll, which can help neutralize free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress, as also may help reduce signs of aging and improve skin elasticity.

– Chlorella may act as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

– It can help improve digestion and alleviate issues like constipation.

– Chlorella may help promote a feeling of fullness, which can aid in weight management efforts.

If you’re new to chlorella, start with a smaller dose (1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to avoid digestive discomfort. Drink plenty of water when consuming chlorella to help your body adjust. Keep chlorella powder in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.

-Smoothies

Add 1-2 teaspoons of chlorella powder to your favourite smoothie recipe. It pairs well with fruits like bananas, berries, and mangoes, which can help mask its strong taste. Blend together 1 banana, 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of nut butter, and 1 teaspoon of chlorella powder.

-Water or Herbal Tea

Stir 1 teaspoon of chlorella powder into a glass of water or herbal tea. To enhance flavour, consider adding lemon or honey.

-Soups and Broths

Sprinkle chlorella powder into soups, broths, or stews during cooking. Use 1 teaspoon for a nutrient boost without altering the flavour significantly.

-Baked Goods

Incorporate chlorella powder into your baking recipes, such as muffins, pancakes, or energy bars. Replace a small portion of flour (up to 10% of the total flour) with chlorella powder.

– Chlorella vulgaris is generally considered safe for most people when taken in appropriate doses.

– However, there can be side effects, especially if taken in large doses such as nausea, diarrhoea, bloating, cramping.

– Some individuals may experience allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing.

– While chlorella is considered safe for most people, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before taking it.
