Yaeyama Chlorella: Further Information

Welcome to this page of www.chlorella-europe.com. Its sole object is to make available more information to you before you purchase, possibly, the highest quality chlorella available today at a very competitive price.

There are three choices for your chlorella: 250mg tablets, 600mg capsules and 100g powder all with the same superb premium cracked-cell wall Yaeyama Chlorella Vulgaris.

We pack in the state-of-the-art food grade aluminium pouches with food-grade plastic lining, which are lightly vacuum packed (600 m/bar). The pouches are not flimsy metallic sprayed packs that degrade in a few months but laminated aluminium foil coated on the inside with two layers of polyethylene (the aluminium does not touch the tablets). They also have a press re-seal bar to close the pouch after opening. The benefits are:
Oxygen removal so preventing oxidation and a film forming on the tablet
Keeps out water and dust reliably
Protection against moisture and drying out
The contents stay complete and unharmed
The outer foil liner gives an optimum light barrier (the inner liner is food-grade plastic)
Individual 90g packs means that every time you open a pack it is fresh, unlike other bulk packs where the product can deteriorate once opened over the 3-6 month period

When comparing price, it is important to note not only the quantity of tablets, but the size. Some businesses offer more tablets but in a smaller size, others offer in vegi-caps which add to the weight. Our vegetarian capsules contain a minimum net 600g fill, now that's value for money, others have fillers and binders.
Some suppliers promote a 60 gram pack (only 20 days supply). We currently offer a 250mg tablet in the minimum 30+ days pack (90g), no casing, no fillers, no binders; just 100% pure, natural chlorella.
We offer a variety of packs for 1-month, 3-month, 6-month or more and combi-packs for those who wish to take both spirulina and chlorella.
The powder containers are manufactured from high-grade polypropylene in a superior, high-gloss finish. They are all made in a 'clean-room' environment to pharmaceutical standards with a snap-on, tear-band tamper-evident, polyethylene closure. This helps to protect the product from damage and spoilage during transportation by minimising movement in unused space inside the container.
All our products are of course suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

There are others who state they are the cheapest but forget to mention the $8.50 for ground shipment in the USA (added at checkout); as for outside the USA, the shipping charges can be 50% over the cost of the product.

You certainly should be very wary of buying anything like the following "offered" as Yaeyama Chlorella. There is no labelling (so no batch number or best by date), the plastic is not food grade, and of course there is absolutely no protection against ultra-violet damage.

Some manufacturers, since they do not have the sophisticated machinery to produce tablets from pure powder, are obliged to put fillers/binders in their product so as to form tablets, alternatively they put the powder in capsules. Yaeyama in Japan has that sophisticated machinery to produce tablets without additives. We have our tablets produced especially for us by Yaeyama, so you get less dust and less brokens in your packs.

Japan Quality Assurance Organisation has issued the factory Certificate of Compliance ISO9001-HACCP No. JQA-HA0047 and ISO9001 Management Certificate of Compliance No. JQA-QMA11869- click here to view copies.

Yaeyama Chlorella is grown in outdoor culture pools as below using fresh water.

The product is produced at the Ishigaki Island off Japan and not to be confused with chlorella from elsewhere in the world. Please remember there is chlorella and there is also "Yaeyama Chlorella". Believe us, there is a vast difference between the two.

DIGESTIBILITY

Yaeyama Chlorella has a digestibility rate ** as high as more than 80%, being processed with its exclusive 3-step procedures to break the cell walls, resulting in maximum absorption of the ingredients.

** Digestibility of chlorella protein by small animal assay procedures:

Steaming under pressure for sterilization, cell dilation and cracks
Heated air applied within the Spray Dryer for further cell wall cracks
Jet Spray system for smashing cells at high impact velocity

A simple but diagrammatic sketch of the production process is shown below:

How Do You Take Chlorella?

The dosage instructions will be sent to you with your order. For the average adult, 12 tablets (3g) daily is the suggested amount. For capsules, the recommended amount is 5 a day (3g). The suggested amount of chlorella powder is 3 grams daily, this is around a level teaspoon. But you can safely add significant amounts of chlorella if your health needs warrant it. For instance, if you feel a cold or other illness coming on, take more chlorella. If you feel rundown or sluggish, take more chlorella. You can safely increase your intake above and beyond the recommended amount.

Tablets can be crushed, chewed or swallowed with water. Capsules can be swallowed with water. Powder should be mixed with water or juice or sprinkled on your cereal, yoghurt, etc. or mixed with smoothies. Do not try and take powder on its own!

For children, the rule of thumb is to give them 1 tablet per year of age. Therefore, a 5-year old child should take 5 tablets daily, and a 9-year old should take 9.

Remember also that what is good for you, is also good for your pets. We have many Clients who actually purchase product for their pets. Dosages vary depending on the species; large dogs: 6 tablets a day, cats: 4 tablets a day, hamsters: 2 tablets a day.

How Soon Will Chlorella Work For You?

Everyone who takes chlorella wants an immediate result. It is possible to experience a remarkable upsurge in your health and energy levels within days of starting to take chlorella. Most people need a little more time to feel its full effect. Usually, you will experience a noticeable improvement in your health after three months, but then there are those who take chlorella for six months before they sense its benefits.

Certain conditions respond rapidly to chlorella. Constipation and bad breath can often improve within 1 or 2 days.

Of course, in order to enjoy the benefits of chlorella, you must take it faithfully. We have had clients who took for granted their new level of health and then stopped taking chlorella. Then some months later, started ordering again, keenly aware of the difference it made to their overall wellness.

In order to keep you as a valuable Client, you will be sent details of the Private Page on your Invoice, once you have purchased chlorella. On this page you will be able to purchase chlorella at even more advantageous price (3 or 6 month packs only).
