For its high nutrient content and potent defense against disease and the ravages of aging, many people have put chlorella at the top of their list. Now there are even more reasons to cheer for chlorella. Scientists are documenting its potent cancer fighting abilities including its ability to repair damage to DNA and influence gene expression.A study by researchers from South Korea, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2008, found that at least two of the carotenoids in chlorella – C. ellipsoidea and C. vulgaris – when used together in semi-purified extract form, inhibited cancer cell growth and enhanced apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Natural News reported:
The reason cancer cells are so problematic is that they refuse to die on cue. Chlorella made sure they followed through when it was their time to die. The researchers also discovered that C. ellipsoidea extract was 2.5 times more effective than C. vulgaris at inducing the apoptotic effect. (Related: Chlorella as a powerful defense against cancer.)Clearly, chlorella offers amazing health benefits, and it is well worth incorporating a good, clean source of this amazing superfood into your daily diet. “Incorporating this kind of nutrition into your body on a daily basis will arguably provide more synergistic nutrients and healing power than anything else you put in your mouth,” noted Derek Henry, founder of Healing the Body.
