Book excerpt: The Chlorella that is spoken of in this book is a very particular strain of algae known as Chlorella Pyrenoidosa. Chlorella is a single-celled plant that gets its name from the high amount of chlorophyll it contains. It is a green, freshwater micro-algae, one of the oldest foods on the planet. Fossils exist of Chlorella Pyrenoidosa that are over 2.5 billion years old. Chlorella contains the entire B complex, vitamins E & C and has a wide range of minerals, including magnesium, zinc, folic acid, phosphorous, potassium, iron and calcium. Anyone can take it regardless of their age, from infants to the elderly. Between Spirulina and Chlorella, Chlorella is definitely the more powerful of the two. While Spirulina is a powerful whole food, one of the strongest and purest in existence, Chlorella has properties that gives it a slight edge over Spirulina.Spirulina Pacifica is a blue green micro-algae and one of the two most powerful whole foods on Earth. Like Chlorella, it is extremely nutritious and can be eaten by anyone at any age. Spirulina Pacifica is a microscopic freshwater plant grown only in Hawaii, an aquatic micro-vegetable/ organism composed of transparent bubble-thin cells stacked end-to-end, forming a helical spiral filament. Spirulina's exterior cell wall is comprised of complex organic sugars that are easily digested, thus the cell wall does not need to be broken open as it does with Chlorella. Spirulina is about 60% protein containing 18 amino acids and is a vastly superior protein source to any other food, including meat, which has only 11 amino acids. Spirulina contains more beta-carotene and GLA (gamma linolenic acid) than any other whole food. It contains 92 trace minerals and other elements such as vitamins, chlorophyll, glyolipids, phycocyanin, carotenoids and sulfolipids. It is also high in superoxide dismutase (SOD), RNA and DNA, which have only recently been identified as essential nutrients. While Spirulina does not contain all the nutrients the body needs, one could easily live on nothing else and expect to be completely healthy. It is less than four calories per gram and has almost no cholesterol.
