With people's emphasis on health and increasing demand for nutritional products, chlorella has gradually become a research hotspot.
What is Chlorella?
Chlorella is a microscopic seaweed that grows in freshwater, also known as "emerald". Despite its small size, chlorella is an extremely nutritious food because it is rich in a variety of specific components that play an important role in human health.
What nutrients are in chlorella?
Omega-3 fatty acids
Chlorella is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body. They are mainly found in human brain cells, retina, heart, semen and breast milk, and play an important role in human health.
The most concerned function of Omega-3 fatty acids is that it can reduce blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular diseases. This is because EPA and DHA in Omega-3 can effectively inhibit the synthesis of triglycerides, accelerate the secretion of fat-digesting enzymes, and help fat burn quickly to achieve weight loss and inhibit diabetes.
In addition, omega-3 can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by protecting the inner wall cells of blood vessels, restoring blood vessel elasticity, and reducing blood lipids and blood pressure.
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll in chlorella has multiple functions such as hematopoiesis, vitamin provision, detoxification, and disease resistance. Especially as a natural antioxidant, chlorophyll helps to scavenge free radicals, improve skin tone and maintain youth, accelerate metabolism and delay aging effect.
In addition, the chlorophyll in chlorella is the best natural antidote, which can neutralize the toxins accumulated in the body such as preservatives, additives and flavors contained in various junk foods, and excrete them from the body to purify the blood.
At the same time, chlorophyll also has the function of sterilization and anti-inflammation. On the one hand, it can prevent infection and prevent the spread of inflammation; on the other hand, it can relieve and reduce pain.
B vitamins
Chlorella is an important source of various B vitamins, and B vitamins are involved in the metabolism of important substances such as sugar, fat, and protein in the human body, and are indispensable water-soluble vitamins for maintaining normal human functions.
Among them, vitamin B6 is used to improve metabolism and enhance immunity, vitamin B9 plays an important role in the formation of DNA and cell division, and vitamin B12 can supplement sufficient nutrition for healthy hair, making hair shiny and softer.
protein
Chlorella is composed of up to 60% protein, and its protein concentration is three times higher than that of beef. Its protein belongs to plant protein, and its composition of amino acids is complete and the ratio is close to the standard model. It is a high-quality plant protein source. Studies have shown that chlorella contains 18 kinds of amino acids, including 8 kinds of essential amino acids for human body, and the content of these 8 kinds of essential amino acids has reached or approached the standard of FAO.
Chiti provides high-quality, customized chlorella products
At present, the planting and extraction technology of chlorella has been continuously improved and improved, which has expanded the application range of chlorella. In addition to health products and nutritional products, chlorella can also be used in food, cosmetics and other fields. At the same time, the green production and sustainability of chlorella are also in line with the current social development trend.
However, there are still some technical difficulties and cost issues in the cultivation and extraction of chlorella. Therefore, when purchasing chlorella, it is necessary to pay more attention to the quality, technology, qualifications and other conditions of the supplier. Chiti, who has more than years of research and development experience, can not only to provide you with high-quality chlorella, and can also customize products according to your needs, providing more diverse choices.
