Chlorella is a spherical unicellular green algae of the genus Chlorella in the Chlorophyta. It is a spherical unicellular freshwater algae with a diameter of 3 to 8 microns. It is one of the earliest life on Earth and appeared more than 2 billion years ago. It is an efficient photosynthetic plant that grows and reproduces by photosynthesis and is widely distributed.
Chlorella vulgaris Chlorophyceae, Chlorellaceae. Unicellular algae, often solitary, but also multicellular aggregation. The cells are spherical or elliptical, with a pericyte, cup-shaped or sheet-shaped chromatophore. Asexual reproduction, each cell can produce 2, 4, 8 or 16 parent spores. When mature, the mother cell ruptures and the spores escape, and when they grow up, they become new individuals. It is distributed all over the world, mostly living in small shallow waters, and there are also marine species. There are fewer individuals under natural conditions, and artificial cultivation can reproduce in large quantities. The protein, fat and carbohydrate content in the cells are very high, and there are many vitamins, which can be eaten and used as bait.
The Funtion of Chlorella
1. Lowering blood pressure and blood lipids
Chlorella has the function of inhibiting fat absorption and stimulating the discharge of high-fat foods. Clinical studies have shown that chlorella can be used to prevent and treat hyperlipidemia and diseases related to excess fat.
2. Enhance immunity
Chlorella mainly improves the body's immunity by improving the phagocytic ability of macrophages, promoting lymphocyte transformation, increasing the number of lymphocytes, and enhancing the activity of natural killer cells. This is mainly related to the efficacy of the following active substances-Chlorella growth factor (CGF): Chlorella growth factor (CGF), also known as chlorella essence, is a cell active substance. Toxicological experiments have shown that CGF is a non-toxic substance, so it has broad prospects as an additive for health products and functional foods; Chlorella hot water extract (CVE); Chlorella polysaccharide; Heterotrophic protein core Chlorella.
3. Antioxidant
Chlorella glycoprotein has antioxidant effects and can remove free radicals in the body. Free radicals are intermediate products of biochemical reactions in human life activities, including superoxide anion radicals (O2·) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH).
4. Anti-tumor
Chlorella has the function of inhibiting the mutagenicity and genotoxicity of carcinogens, thus having the physiological characteristics of anti-tumor.
5. Detoxification
Chlorella contains certain liver-protecting and detoxifying ingredients. Chlorella has the functions of regulating gastrointestinal absorption and promoting toxin excretion.
6. Others
According to research, Chlorella also has physiological activities such as anti-radiation, prevention and treatment of various inflammations such as gastric ulcers and ulcerative colitis, and relief of psychological stress and fibromyalgia.
