What Does Chlorophyll Do? The Benefits of Spirulina and Chlorella in Antler Farms Organic Greens

Thomas Delauer breaks down why chlorophyll in dark leafy greens, cereal grasses and microalgae are so good for you. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants and algae their green color. Plants use chlorophyll for photosynthesis. The basic structure of chlorophyll is similar to that of heme in hemoglobin, although the central atom in chlorophyll is magnesium instead of iron. Chlorophyll performs the same function in the body as hemoglobin. Chlorophyll carries high levels of oxygen which helps deliver more oxygen to the blood. It aids in cellular growth and repair. Chlorophyll is known to be very good for the vascular system. It can slow down the oxidation of LDL (the ‘bad’ cholesterol) which is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease. Chlorophyll has antioxidants that help eliminate harmful toxins from the body. It helps neutralize free radicals and limit oxidative damage. Chlorophyll cleanses, purifies, and heals most areas of the body. It detoxifies the liver and blood. Chlorophyll supports the immune system. It contains a derivative called chlorophyllin which has been shown to increase the number and activity of immune cells. Chlorophyll also helps support the healthy flora in the bowels which also help improve our immunity function. Although spirulina is often described as blue-green algae, it is technically a type of cyanobacteria. Unlike other bacteria, they have chlorophyll and use the sun as an energy source, in the way plants and algae do. One of the special traits of spirulina is its rich protein content. It's 50 to 70 percent protein by weight. It also contains 18 different amino acids, including all of the essential amino acids and 10 of the 12 nonessential ones. Spirulina also contains vitamins and minerals, iodine, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and antioxidants. Chlorella is superfood algae that provides beneficial nutrients that may potentially boost your health. The nutritional components in chlorella inlcude chlorophyll, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. One of chlorella's most positive impacts comes from its ability to work as a detoxifier, especially against heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides in the digestive tract, which is considered your body's pathway to the bloodstream. When these harmful toxins enter your digestive tract, they may make their way into your body's cells. Furthermore, chlorella has a unique ability to identify the substances that your body requires and those that must be eliminated – hence, it does not bind to essential minerals like calcium, magnesium or zinc.
