Chlorella
Chlorella is a freshwater green alga used in greens powders and as a standalone supplement.
Quick answer
Chlorella is a freshwater green alga used in food and supplement products. It often appears in greens powders with other algae, grasses, vegetables, and botanical ingredients.
What to know
Chlorella and spirulina are different organisms even though both appear in greens products. A finished greens formula might list an individual amount or place chlorella inside a blend. Check serving size, blend amounts, allergen statements, and the complete ingredient list. A broad greens label does not tell you how much of each plant or algae ingredient is present unless the label lists those amounts.
