Chlorella species are becoming increasingly popular. Around 1940, scientists from industrialised nations already recognised the outstanding physic nutritional potential of Chlorella microalgae. The constituents such as Chlorophyll, unsaturated fatty acids, peptides amino acids, polysaccharides glycoproteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals are contributing to Chlorella’s physiological properties: detoxification through biosorption and stimulation of phase two biotransformation, immuno-modulation, enhancement sugar and lipid metabolism… Chlorella has been traditionally cultivated in Asia in open ponds. Since 2000, Chlorella has been cultivated (with a biotechnology awarded patented) in Germany in a photobioreactor made of closed glass tubes system (zero contamination, optimal photosynthesis). Only a Chlorella with highest purity can bring all expected health properties: free from heavy metals and toxins, intact cell walls preserve all nutrients from oxidation.
