In her latest Instagram entry, celebrity nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee shares some of the impressive benefits of the superfood. She says, “Why is no one talking about Chlorella? It is a very powerful detoxifying agent. And all the heavy metals that I spoke about in my last video, it helps to remove heavy metals like lead and mercury out of your system. It also helps to combat the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. It also supports the immune system. It increases energy. It helps to rejuvenate the system. Also helps to improve your metabolism. Chlorella can be taken as a 2-gram dose to begin with and then the dose can be increased. It is great to remove heavy metals.”

Apart from body toxification and improving immunity, chlorella supplements also help in controlling cholesterol. It is also rich in several compounds that are considered antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, lycopene, chlorophyll, vitamin C and lutein. These antioxidants help fight many diseases. 

Additionally, chlorella supplements improve heart and kidney health, which is an important factor for normal blood pressure. Some medical researches have also claimed that chlorella helps in lowering blood sugar levels. Chlorella components help in reducing inflammation, which eventually helps in managing respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
