CHLORELLA FURTHER INFORMATION

Welcome to this page of chlorella-africa.com. It's sole object is to make available more information to you before you purchase, possibly, the highest quality chlorella available today.

Remember, we do not run an online store offering various products all stating it will do this or that for you. We do not offer free gifts, incredible offers, or "Buy one - Get one free". What we do is offer is a Premium Grade Chlorella at a very competitive price. The price is low in order to bring it within reach of as many people as possible.

You will note that there are no pages full of testimonials to induce you to buy, and show you that chlorella does work. Yes, we have them, but without a valid e-mail address, they would be worthless. As all your details are confidential we could never publish them and would not, even with consent, to avoid the address coming into the public domain.

  • When comparing price, it is important to note not only the quantity of tablets, but the size. Some businesses offer more tablets but in a smaller size, others offer in vegi-caps which add to the weight, others have fillers and binders.

  • There are yet many others who promote a 60 gram pack (Only 20 days supply). We currently offer a 250mg tablet in the minimum 30+ days pack, no casing, no fillers, no binders; just 100% pure, natural chlorella.

  • There are others who state they are the cheapest but forget to mention the R26.00 (added at checkout)for postage

  • There are others cases where they buy in product from another supplier in large packs the break it down into smaller packs and tell you take less per day.
    This is a fact, as we are aware of cases where capsules are bought in bottles of 100 x 520mg (52g) are then broken down into 60's with the instruction to take 3 capsules per day, that is only 1,56g, which is 50% of the recommended dosage of 3gm per day and of course only lasts 20 days. Of course these people do not purchase from us as our packs are vacuum sealed

  • We pack in the state-of-the art food grade aluminum pouches with plastic lining. The pouches are not flimsy metallic sprayed packs that degrade in a few months but aluminium foil laminated.

  • We believe we are one of about three Companies other than Sun Chlorella who pack in the foil sachets and of course our prices are much more competitive.

  • Some manufacturers, since they do not have the sophisticated machinery to produce tablets from pure powder, are obliged to put fillers/binders in their product so as to form tablets, alternatively they put the powder in capsules. Yaeyama in Japan, has that sophisticated machinery to produce tablets without additives. We have our tablets produced especially for us by Yaeyama, so you get less dust and less brokens in your packs.

  • In 2005 the Japan Quality Assurance Organisation issued the factory a Certificate of Compliance ISO9001-HACCP, Certificate No. JQA-HA0047

  • Yaeyama chlorella is grown in outdoor culture pools as below using fresh water.


    .

  • The product is produced in on Ishigaki Island off Japan and not to be confused with chlorella from elsewhere in the world. Please remember there is chlorella, and there is also "Yaeyama Chlorella". Believe us, there is a vast difference between the two.

DIGESTIBILITY

Yaeyama Chlorella has a digestibility rate** as high as more than 80%, being processed with its exclusive 3-step procedures to break the cell walls, resulting in maximum absorption of the ingredients.
** Digestibility of chlorella protein by small animal assay procedures

  • 1. Steaming under pressure for sterilization, cell dilation and cracks.
  • 2. Heated air applied within the Spray Dryer for further cell wall cracks.
  • 3. Jet Spray system for smashing cells at high impact velocity.


A simple but diagrammatic sketch of the production process is below.

Some contaminants (bacteria, other alga) are found in powdered Taiwn-made chlorella (A) and (B), which discloses that there are some problems in their control inspection and insufficient washing of chlorella algae.
2. Mineral foreign objects observed in Taiwan-made Chlorella (A) are very small lithoid matter or brown particles.
3. Filamentous foreign objects observed in Taiwan-made Chlorella (B) are supposedly generated in its drying process.
4. These foreign substances can be observed on the surface of tabletized Taiwan-made chlorella, though most of them are buried inside and cannot be seen from outside.

Yaeyama Chlorella is cultivated outdoors through photosynthesis under abundant sun rays, utilizing good quality ground water and fresh air. It is processed into premium Yaeyma Chlorella powder, tablets and extract liquid under rigid QC and sanitation standards with no foreign object, bacteria and other algae observed.

How Do You Take Chlorella?

For the average adult, 12 tablets daily, is the suggested amount. But you can safely add significant amounts of chlorella if your health needs warrant it.

For instance, if you feel a cold or other illness coming on, take more chlorella. If you feel rundown or sluggish, take more chlorella. You can safely increase your intake above and beyond the recommended amount.

For children, the rule of thumb is to give them one tablet per year of age. Therefore, a five year-old child should take five tablets daily, and a nine year-old should take nine.

Remember also that what is good for you, is also good for your pets. We have many Clients who actually purchase product for their pets. Dosages vary depending on the species, large dogs; six tablets a day, cats; four tablets a day, hamsters; two tablets a day.

How Soon Will Chlorella Work For You?

Everyone who takes chlorella wants an immediate result. It is possible to get lucky and experience a remarkable upsurge in your health within days of starting to take chlorella. Most people need a little more time to feel its full effect. Usually, you will experience a noticeable improvement in your health after three months, but then there are those who take chlorella for six months before they sense its benefits.

Certain conditions respond rapidly to chlorella. Constipation and bad breath can often improve within one or two days.

Of course, in order to enjoy the benefits of chlorella, you must take it faithfully. We have had Clients who took for granted their new level of health and then stopped taking chlorella. Then some months later, started ordering again, keenly aware of the difference it made to their overall wellness.
