Yaeyama Chlorella

Description

Chlorella is a single-celled fresh water algae with a history dating back more than two billion years. The wonderful thing about Chlorella is its amazing inherent strength through a genetic structure that has remained unchanged for all that length of time. This genetic structure is responsible for Chlorella’s high nutritive value, ease of cultivation and astonishing rate of growth.

History of Chlorella

Roughly the size of a human red blood cell, this tiny microalgae was discovered in 1890 by a Dutch microbiologist, Martinus Beijernick, who studied pond algae. His fascination with the question of why sweet-water ponds turned a deep green led to the discovery of Chlorella, which is rich in green-pigmented chlorophyll. He had no way of knowing that his minute discovery would be considered green gold a century later.

Chlorella is the most researched algae in the world. It has been studied by the Rockfeller Foundation, Camegie Institute and NASA. Japan pioneered in developing the technology to grow, harvest and process Chlorella on a large commercially-feasible scale. The Japanese have been using Chlorella for years as one of their principal health food and for its anti-aging benefits.

Nutritional Composition

Chlorella is a storehouse of concentrated nutrients. It is more than a collection of vitamins and minerals; being a whole plant it contains all the complex chemical compounds necessary to the protoplasm of life. One of its most remarkable nutritional qualities is its high protein content: 50-60 percent with all the essential amino acids including a high content of lysine for optimum health.

As an all-vegetable source, Chlorella also provides impressive amounts of betacarotene, vitamins C, E, K and the full range of B-vitamins. It has more vitamin B12 than beef liver and is an excellent source of this “feel-good” vitamin. The minerals in Chlorella include calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and trace amounts of manganese, iodine and zinc.

Richest Source of Chlorophyll

One particular characteristic of Chlorella is its high concentration of chlorophyll, often as high as 7% of its total weight. This has led some to call Chlorella the “Supreme Whole Food Concentrate”. Chlorella is by far the richest source of chlorophyll available for human nutrition today.

Health Benefits of Chlorophyll

Called “Nature’s Healer” for its positive effects on health, chlorophyll’s chemical Structure is similar to haemoglobin, the pigment found in red blood cells. Chlorophyll has proven useful as a blood builder which improves red blood cell count and corrects anaemia.

Known as the most powerful cleansing agent found in nature, chlorophyll detoxifies the bowels, liver, kidney and bloodstream. It normalizes the beneficial bowel flora, stimulates tissue regeneration and speeds the healing of wounds and burns. It also assists in digestion, controls calcium in the body and increases iron absorption. It is best known for its deodorant properties.

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF)

Called “Nature’s Healer” for its positive effects on health, chlorophyll’s chemical structure is similar to haemoglobin, the pigment found in red blood cells. Chlorophyll has proven useful as a blood builder which improves red blood cell count and corrects anaemia.

Known as the most powerful cleansing agent found in nature, chlorophyll detoxifies the bowels, liver, kidney and bloodstream. It normalizes the beneficial bowel flora, stimulates tissue regeneration and speeds the healing of wounds and burns. It also assists in digestion, controls calcium in the body and increases iron absorption. It is best known for its deodorant properties.

In  the early 1950s, Dr Fujimaki or the People’s Scientific Research Centre in Tokyo separated a substance from a hot water extract of Chlorella by electrophoresis. He named the hitherto unknown fraction of Chlorella, the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) which was found to be rich in the nucleic acids RNA and DNA. Chlorella is one of the best known natural foods abundant in nucleic acids. Canned sardines were thought to be the highest source of RNA; however, recent research findings indicate that Chlorella is 17 times higher in RNA than sardines.

Production of RNA and DNA (termed as “long life factors”) by the cells in our body slows down with age, resulting in lower levels of vitality, physical deterioration and susceptibility to diseases. Lifestyle factors, junk foods, drugs, smoking, alcohol and pollution also cause sluggish production of RNA and DNA.

Testimonials

“I used to suffer from constipation, body odor and pimples on my face and back. After taking Yaeyama Chlorella daily for 3 months, I do not suffer from these problems anymore. Furthermore, my hair and nails grow much faster and stronger than before!”
Yee, 37

“My two daughters have been taking Yaeyama Chlorella for 6 years – the younger child started when she was only 2. They do not get the flu and colds easily, are taller than most children their age, and have beautiful and healthy skin and hair.”
Sally, 42

“My complexion has improved and my pigmentation and age spots are less obvious. I also feel more energetic. My daughter benefits from Chlorella too – she doesn’t fall sick that easily now.”
Mrs. Leong, 41 (daughter Leong Zi Wei, 6) Malaysia

“Menstruation always meant terrible skin breakouts for me, but once I started taking Chlorella regularly, I don’t get them anymore. My old pimple scars also healed faster.”
Ms. Karen Yee, 30, Malaysia

Yaeyama – The sysmbol of highest quality Chlorella

Yaeyama Shokusan Co. Ltd. Japan is a world-renowned chlorella producer with over 40 years of advanced technological know-how.

The farms are located at the pristine Ishigaki Island of Okinawa, Japan, known for its longest life expectancy. The island’s sub-tropical temperature, clean and mineral-rich coral reef mountain water, fresh air and glaring sun are ideal for cultivating superior quality chlorella. The unpolluted surroundings are essential because chlorella is best cultivated outdoors as natural sunlight produces higher levels of chlorophyll and CGF.

• Patented cultivation: This yields higher concentrations of RNA, DNA, CGF, chlorophyll, beta carotene and other nutrients (as compared to regular chlorella).
• Patented processing method: A pioneering process cracks the tough cell walls and allows users to reap the benefits of both chlorella’s unique cell walls and its nutrients. Nutrients are preserved within cell walls until they break apart in the body when consumed.
