Chlorella is a unicellular green alga that has been present in fresh water for several billion years. The alga is so small that it cannot even be seen with the naked eye. The "Chlorella vulgaris" is the most common green alga and has many valuable ingredients on, die sie zu einem beliebten Nahrungsergänzungsmittel machen. The nutrients are very different from those of spirulina algae. Chlorella is a real protein supplier and consists Half from protein! In addition, the small alga contains all nine essential amino acids: leucine, valine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, threonine, lysine, methionine, tryptophanand Histidin. Since the body cannot synthesize these amino acids itself we have to take them in through food. 

With the little chlorella algae, we did it in no time! The madness, or? Chlorella is also rich in vitamin-B12, which is normally only found in animal products. However, some studies suggest that the body can also process much of the B12 from chlorella. In addition, other important B-Vitamins contain, ß-Carotin, Vitamin C, D, E and K are also added. Still in addition chlorella contains minerals such as Calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and Sodium and the trace elements Iron, zinc, manganese, copper and Selenium. The green alga Chlorella has its name not without reason. This is composed of the Greek words "Chloros" and "Ella", which means "little green". The small alga owes its color to the natural pigment chlorophyll, which is formed by plants during photosynthesis and is contained in the alga in a proportion of up to 4 percent. 

This makes the Chlorophyll content of chlorella as high as hardly any other plant! The plant pigment is valuable for our body because it is very similar to the human blood pigment hemoglobin. This means that chlorophyll can certainly support hemoglobin in its important work and also transports oxygen into the cells. Chlorella is therefore a real energy supplier and can increase the performance. Spirulina algae, unlike chlorella algae, is blue-green. Since it belongs to the blue-green algae, it is strictly speaking not an alga, but a cyanobacterium. 

While chlorella is so small that it can only be seen under a microscope, spirulina algae is ten times larger and grows in salt water. It is perfect to use as an ingredient in smoothies, dressings and baking. Spirulinais besides Chlorella also avaluable nutrient supplier and can in this respect even Chlorella surpass. Because spirulina is rich in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. In addition, it even has more protein than chlorella, a whopping 70%! Also in Spirulina this consists of the essential amino acids, as well as 10 non-essential. The blue green algae is rich in iron, Vitamin K and also to Chlorophyll. Spirulina also has very thin cell walls, which ensures that our body can absorb the contained can absorb nutrients very easily. In contrast, chlorella has thicker cell walls, which have been deliberately broken up in our chlorella products to make the nutrients they contain more easily accessible to the body.
