Chlorella is a single-celled freshwater green algae and one of the most concentrated whole-food sources of chlorophyll on the planet — which is exactly why this powder is such an intense green.

The cell wall is the whole story with chlorella. Left intact, that tough cellulose shell passes straight through you; ours is mechanically broken so the contents are available. We also dry it using a very low heat (VLT) process instead of high-heat spray drying, which is gentler on heat-sensitive nutrients. It is grown in Hawaii in freshwater pools fortified with deep-sea mineral water, then tested and packed in Ontario.

  • Broken cell wall for better nutrient availability
  • Very low heat (VLT) drying process
  • Complete protein with all essential amino acids
  • Naturally high in chlorophyll
  • 100% pure — no fillers or additives. Organic, vegan, non-GMO
  • Made in Canada from imported ingredients
  • Third-party tested for heavy metals — COA on this page
  • Sizes: 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg
  • NPN 80145854

Who it's for: smoothie drinkers, plant-based eaters, and anyone who wants to buy chlorella by weight rather than by the bottle. Prefer no taste at all? Try our chlorella tablets.

How to use: Start with 1/2 teaspoon daily and build to 1 to 2 teaspoons. Mix into smoothies, juice or water. Chlorella tastes strongly green and grassy — blending it with banana, mango or pineapple makes it much easier.

Recommended use: Source of antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.

Great Ideas for Using This Product

Fruiting body vs Mycelium and Spores

There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.

The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.

However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.

We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.

Extraction/Production Process

At Ecogenya, our chlorella is produced through a precise and sustainable process. Each batch begins with growing chlorella in clean, controlled environments, ensuring the highest level of purity and potency. After harvesting, the chlorella undergoes a gentle cell-wall cracking process to enhance nutrient availability. It is then carefully dried to retain the rich array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, providing a clean, pure source of plant-based nutrition.

Botanical Information

Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) is a single-celled freshwater green algae belonging to the family Chlorellaceae. Known for its vibrant green colour, chlorella is densely packed with chlorophyll, which contributes to its colour and provides antioxidant properties. The algae's cell walls are tough, requiring enzymatic or mechanical processing to break them down and make their nutrients bioavailable. Chlorella thrives in clean, nutrient-rich freshwater environments, allowing it to naturally accumulate a broad spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and proteins, making it one of nature's most potent superfoods.

For Pets

While chlorella is used for human nutrition, some holistic veterinarians may recommend green algae supplements for pets. However, always consult your veterinarian before giving chlorella or any new supplement to your pet, as dosage needs and safety can vary based on their size, health condition, and breed.

Third Party Analysis Results

Every batch of this extract is tested by a third party lab for potency and contaminants and must meet or exceed government standards before it is released.
