Chlorella is a naturally occurring green algae that is cultivated throughout the world for its nutritional value. As a dietary supplement, it is regarded as a “superfood” because it provides significant amounts of protein, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. In medicine, chlorella is used as a chelating agent and as contrast in magnetic resonance imaging. It is also used to produce biofuel and to remediate wastewater. Due to its antioxidant content, chlorella powder is an ingredient in anti-aging creams, lotions and other natural skin care products.
