Micronutrients & recovery
Chlorella and Spirulina microalgae are rich sources of phenolic compounds, vitamins, and polysaccharides that exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, supporting overall health and disease prevention.
Include Chlorella or Spirulina in your diet to boost your intake of antioxidants, vitamins, and immune-supporting polysaccharides. These compounds help protect your cells from damage, support your immune system, and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. They are available in various forms, making it easy to add them to your routine.
Phenolic compounds (PCs) also known as polyphenolics are biocompounds... considered one of the most important classes of natural antioxidants... Chlorella and Spirulina microalgae are vitamin producers... Polysaccharides from Spirulina platensis and Chlorella pyrenoidosa microalgae have significant antioxidant properties, tumor activities, and immunomodulatory properties.

- Dietary supplementation with Chlorella and Spirulina microalgae provides essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), specifically omega-3 (EPA, DHA) and omega-6 (GLA, AA), which support anti-inflammatory pathways, cardiovascular health, and neurological development.Moderate
- Consumption of Chlorella and Spirulina provides high-quality proteins and essential amino acids (lysine, leucine, isoleucine, tryptophan, valine) that contribute to high nutritional quality, potentially superior to conventional plant sources like soy.Moderate
