What it is

Chlorella is a type of single-celled green algae that grows in fresh water. It is cultivated in controlled environments and then harvested and processed. The processing typically involves drying and grinding the algae into a powder or extracting its components.

Why it's used

Chlorella is often added to foods as a source of nutrients, particularly protein and vitamins. It can also be used as a natural green food coloring. It is commonly found in dietary supplements, energy bars, smoothies, and other health-focused food products.

Health notes

Chlorella is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Some research suggests it may support immune function and help reduce cholesterol levels, but more studies are needed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also evaluated chlorella and found no safety concerns for its intended uses. JECFA has evaluated chlorella and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Chlorella is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
