Many people wonder what are the differences between these three superfoods: chlorophyll, spirulina and chlorella. Each one of them have unique and highly beneficial qualities for your health. Discover in this article the benefits of liquid chlorophyll, spirulina or chlorella algae.
These three wonders contain a high level of chlorophyll, but they have different qualities that can be perfectly combined with each other.
Liquid Chlorophyll, Spirulina or Chlorella Algae
Spirulina Algae
This “miraculous algae,” which grows in freshwater lakes, rivers, ponds, and alkaline brackish environments is a concentrate of high-quality proteins. It has stimulating, purifying, and regenerating properties.
Spirulina is a green/blue algae with a primitive nucleus (prokaryotic cell). Its blue pigment, “Phycocyanin,” helps produce stem cells in the bone marrow, strengthens immunity by promoting the production of antibodies.
Due to its high nutritional value, it has become a recognized superfood by the United Nations to fight against anemia and malnutrition.
It contains high biological value proteins, ideal for vegans, athletes or people who need an extra supply of amino acids. Its proteins are very well absorbed and make up 65% to 71% of its nutritional composition.
Spirulina algae contains more protein than chlorella algae and twelve times more than beef.
Additionally, it also contains vitamins, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids, and many antioxidants, making it a better source of GLA: essential fatty acids necessary for the proper functioning of the brain and heart. It also helps increase hemoglobin, improving blood quality and red blood cell count as it contains iron and a higher concentration of “Phycocyanin.”
Benefits of Spirulina Algae:
- Excellent source of high bioavailable proteins.
- Anti-anemic, thanks to its iron and chlorophyll content.
- Strengthens immunity.
- Contains vitamin A and Zeaxanthin, which improve vision and mucous membranes.
- Nourishes hair, skin, and nails.
- Helps eliminate heavy metals, specifically arsenic.
- Contains calcium and magnesium, making it alkalizing.
Chlorella Algae
Chlorella is another green algae with a high chlorophyll content that has gained popularity in recent years. It is one of the oldest aquatic plants on the planet, existing for more than two million years. It naturally occurs in lakes and rivers in Southeast Asia and was discovered in 1890. A microscopic unicellular green algae with a true nucleus (eukaryotic cell), which reproduces very easily.
There are three distinct varieties, but the one cultivated in algae farms for its ease is Chlorella Vulgaris. It contains ten times more chlorophyll than spirulina but has less protein than spirulina.
It promotes detoxification and elimination of heavy metals through “chelation.” Has more iron than spirulina and helps repair the nervous system.
The most notable quality of chlorella is its ability to eliminate heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and uranium.
Benefits of Chlorella Algae:
- Helps detoxify and “chelate” heavy metals.
- Contains minerals like iron, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus, and vitamins like beta carotene, vitamin A, and antioxidants.
- Contains GLA fatty acids, omega 3.
- Revitalizing and energetic.
- Promotes intestinal activity regulation.
- Contains high biological value protein (less than spirulina).
- Is alkalizing.
- Strengthens the immune system.
Liquid Chlorophyll
Here you have one of nature’s greatests wonders, concentrated liquid chlorophyll, the concentrated power of the sun. Chlorophyll is the green pigment present in all plants and algae responsible for photosynthesis.
Liquid chlorophyll is not an algae as it´s extracted from mulberry leaf which is a great advantage for those who cannot tolerate algae or cannot consume them. Moreover, it contains more chlorophyll than chlorella or spirulina algae. Additionally, it is important to highlight its high absorption and quick assimilation capacity in the body, practically immediate.
It has no side effects and can be consumed by everyone: from children to pregnant women, nursing mothers, people on medication, individuals with thyroid problems, and even patients with heart issues.
Its most outstanding feature is its ability to catalyze oxygen in the blood and tissues, improving all organs and oxygenating the body.
In addition, it´s a powerful natural anti-inflammatory. It is highly alkalizing, a natural “anti-aging” antioxidant capable of boosting the immune system and protecting against free radicals.
Chlorophyll is also a powerful blood purifier that promotes the elimination (chelation) of heavy metals from all tissues. It also detoxifies the liver, kidneys, and intestines. It is a precursor to iron and folic acid.
Another advantage is that it can be taken by people with thyroid issues who cannot tolerate algae. Lastly, it acts as an excellent natural deodorant capable of neutralizing odor-causing bacteria in the body.
Benefits of chlorophyll:
- Oxygenates, regenerates, and improves blood quality, optimizing oxygen transport.
- Helps balance blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels.
- Improves women’s hormonal disorders.
- Ideal for detox processes, fasting, intermittent fasting and weight-control diets.
- Eliminates liver toxins.
- Eliminates bad breath and flatulence.
- Increases sports endurance and respiratory capacity.
- Strengthens the heart.
- Activates essential enzymes for proper nutrient absorption in the intestine due to its high carotenoid content.
- Is a powerful healing agent for digestive and oral mucous membranes.
- Deodorizes stool and urine.
- Promotes the growth of beneficial microflora in the colon, stimulates the intestines and liver.
- Strengthens the immune system.
How to Take Chlorophyll by Alkaline Care
Very simple! Mix a few drops of chlorophyll in water, juice, or smoothies.
You can get our chlorophyll in two formats, both containing the same properties:
- Original flavor chlorophyll
- Mint-flavored chlorophyll. It has a smooth, pleasant, and refreshing taste, suitable for even the most discerning palates. In addition, mint stimulates and helps decongest, improves breath and has expectorant properties.
