Organic Chlorella Powder (Broken Cell) (100g / 300g)
Chlorella is a single cell green algae that flourishes in freshwater environments. The algae multiplies aggressively in correct growing conditions which requires water, carbon dioxide, sunlight and certain minerals. In order to access the impressvie nutrients within the cell, it is important for the cell wall to have been broken during processing, otherwise known as Broken Cell Chlorella.
The RAWGANIQ™ Difference
Our broken cell chlorella is cultivated under strict environmental controls, ensuring the right amounts of alkalinity, sunlight and nutrients are present to form strong and nutrient dense cells. Our water, sourced from the natural soda lakes of Inner Mongolia, combined with constant monitoring of nutrient levels, produces a highly nutritious chlorella paste which is then rinsed, spray dried and formed into an homogenous particle powder. The powder is then packed into dry foil bags, sealed and placed into airtight round cardboard drums to lock out heat, moisture or light.
- Certified organic to EU and NOP standards (view certificates)
- Directly imported from the processing plants of our growers, thus reducing handling and minimizing nutrient loss
- Packed and processed in GHPs/HACCP certified and FDA-approved facility (view certificate)
- Lab analysis to ensure your safety
