Chlorella Powder

Chlorella Powder is made from Chlorella vulgaris, a single-celled freshwater green alga. It is one of the best-known "green superfoods", valued for its high protein and chlorophyll content, and it is sold as powder, tablets and capsules and in smoothie and superfood blends.

Arizone International supplies Chlorella Powder to herbal, Ayurvedic, food and nutraceutical manufacturers, traders, private label brands and bulk buyers. Grade, mesh size, packaging and quantity can all be set to your specification.

What Is

Chlorella is a tiny, round green alga that grows in fresh water. For commercial production it is cultivated in clean, controlled tanks or ponds, mainly in Taiwan, China, Japan and South Korea. The algae are harvested, washed, and then processed to break their tough outer cell wall before drying.

Chlorella is naturally rich in protein, often around 50% to 60% of its dry weight, as well as chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and carotenoids. It is different from spirulina: chlorella is a true green alga with a hard cell wall, while spirulina is a blue-green cyanobacterium with a soft wall.

Because chlorella's natural cell wall is hard and difficult to digest, the harvested algae are processed with mechanical milling or pressure to crack the cell wall, a step known as broken or cracked cell wall processing. The algae are then spray-dried at controlled temperatures into a fine, dark green powder, which keeps its colour and nutrients and can be pressed into tablets or filled into capsules.

Chlorella contains vitamin K, so people taking warfarin should consult their doctor, and people allergic to mould or iodine-sensitive people should seek medical advice; some people notice mild stomach upset or green stools when they start.

Tips for Buyers and Formulators

Algae can absorb heavy metals and other contaminants from their growing water, so always ask for heavy metal, PAH and microbiology results on every batch.

Chlorella and spirulina are often sold together, but they are different organisms; state the species (Chlorella vulgaris or Chlorella pyrenoidosa) on your label and specification.
