People use Chlorella for many things, such as: Help with Detoxing
Small amounts of some heavy metals, such as iron and copper, are essential for the body to function properly - but they can be toxic in larger amounts.
While it’s quite rare to have dangerous levels of these heavy metals in your body, exposure to heavy metals through pollution or certain jobs, such as mining, increase the risk of dangerously high levels building up in your system [15].
Algaes such as chlorella, have been found to reduce the toxic effect of heavy metals in the liver, brain and kidneys in animals [16].
Chlorella has also been shown to help lower the amount of other harmful chemicals that can sometimes be found in foods, such as dioxin, which is a hormone disruptor that can contaminate animals in the food supply.
This evidence seems to suggest that chlorella may help enhance your body’s natural ability to clear toxins.
Antioxidant Support
Chlorella contains many compounds that are considered to be antioxidants, such as vitamin C, lycopene, lutein, chlorophyll, and beta-carotene,
Some of these antioxidants seem to reduce the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which drive many of the complications of diabetes [17].
A human study showed chlorella supplements increased antioxidant levels in cigarette smokers, who are at a higher risk of oxidative damage [18].
Increased Immune Response
In a trial of 51 healthy participants, Chlorella tablets enhanced immunity. They increased NK cell activity, IL-1beta, and the Th1 response in people who ingested these tablets for 8 weeks [19].
Intense exercise can weaken the immune system. In a placebo-controlled study performed in 10 female athletes, 5 weeks of Chlorella supplementation prevented the decrease in immune function (measured by salivary immunoglobulin A) during a training camp [20].
Another study of 15 men, revealed that salivary IgA was increased in participants when they ingested Chlorella tablets for 4 weeks [21].
A study of 35 pregnant women showed increased IgA levels in the breast milk of women that consumed Chlorella for 6 months before giving birth. Higher levels of IgA in breast milk helps reduce the risk of infection in nursing infants [22].
Chlorella protected mice from E. coli and Listeria monocytogenes infection in two animal trials [23].
In mice, Chlorella counteracted the effect of a chemotherapeutic drug (Cyclophosphamide) that suppresses the immune system by recovering NK cell function and increasing Th1 cytokines (IL-2, IL-12, TNF-a, IFN-y) [24].
