Health Benefits Of Chlorella

Regulates Blood Pressure

Chlorella regulates blood pressure almost by accident. Its high amounts of potassium, the amino acid arginine, and omega-3 prevent hardening of arteries, which positively affects blood pressure. Chlorella also augments the overall health of the kidneys and heart, another boost to optimal blood pressure. Artery stiffness is one of several leading causes of high blood pressure. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease calcification of coronary arteries, keeping the arteries soft and pliable. There is some evidence indicating omega-3 thins the blood, which may catalyze the lowering of blood pressure. Chlorella's omega-3 content is so high and its blood-thinning power so pronounced, experts recommend avoiding ingesting anti-coagulants and chlorella supplements at the same time so as to avoid unhealthy thinning of the blood.
