these contaminants from the body. It can also promote a healthy balance
of natural bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. This, in turn, may help
soothe ulcers, constipation and other intestinal issues.

time breaking down the indigestible cell walls. The best chlorella products-like our
powder-have cracked cell walls to give your body its treasure trove of protein, minerals,
and Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.

and infection-fighting power.
