When you’re in chronic pain, any supplement that aids in regeneration and recovery is helpful. Chlorella contains a property called “Chlorella Growth Factor” (CGF), which helps rebuild and heal tissues, especially nerve tissue damage and is excellent for treating brain and nerve disorders (Wolf 234). Chlorella also has the ability to detox heavy metals, pesticides, and radiation poisoning from your body. Heavy metals can be a cause of many debilitating diseases such as neuropathy, carpal tunnel, arthritis, and diseases of the brain such as Alzheimer’s and migraines (Rogers 158).

Chlorella also aids in digestion and liver support, making it an ideal supplement for helping your body utilize nutrients and eliminate waste. Another great benefit, is that it aids the growth of good bacteria in your digestive system and if your chlorella source is unpasteurized it will also contain enzymes, which help digest your food (Wolf 235). Your liver with thank you for any help you give it in eliminating chemical additives and pesticides. It has a heavy workload with all chemicals in our environment we are exposed to on a daily basis.

The enviornmental toxins not only affect our body, but also our mind. Heavy metals can also be responsible for mood disorders such as ADHD and depression (Rogers 158). Instead of reaching for a prescription, try the natural way first. Start your dosage small, and add more if your body tolerates it. People react differently to detoxification, so more is not necessarily better, especially in the beginning.
