Several researches in the U.S & Europe showed that it improves the body activity by removing the heavy metals & pesticides through strengthening the defensive response. Fibrous nature of chlorella helps the intestines to enhance the digestive activity which allows the mercury that is stored in the intestine to be eliminated by stool. When the concentration of mercury in the intestine is lowered the remaining storage of the body can enter in intestine from where it again removes away by the fibrous activity of chlorella. IMPROVE THE DIGESTIVE FUNCTIONS: Fibrous nature of chlorella also beneficial for the healthy functioning of digestive system because the Chlorella growth factor (CGF) stimulates the growth of friendly bacteria in the stomach that ultimately improve the digestive actions. Chlorella contains two digestive enzymes that are necessary for the production of energy by the break down of food particles.

FIGHTING CANCER BY BOOSTING IMMUNITY: Cancer appears when immune system malfunctions. Cancer symptoms arise due to inability of immune system to effectively fight with cancer cells. Chlorella has the ability to fight with the cancer cells by boosting the immune responses. Researches have demonstrated that the two components in the cell wall of chlorella, CGF (Chlorella growth factor) and an acidic polysaccharide, can increase the production of interferon .Interferon is the natural secretion of the body that stimulates the immune responses by increasing the production & activity of macrophages, special type of white blood cell that fight with the foreign invaders like viruses, bacteria & chemicals, this interferon also provide defense against cancer. Chlorella may also have the ability to increase the albumin protein in the blood that prevents cancerous changes. Numerous studies indicated that low level of albumin is a marker for serious problems like cancer & heart diseases.
