10 Benefits of Chlorella
Benefit #4: High in Antioxidants
Oxidation is a process that causes damage to the body at the cellular level. It is caused by free radicals and the damage caused can lead to various complications. It can lead to countless illnesses, contribute to cancers, and is also largely responsible for ageing. If we can limit the process, we are likely to remain healthier for longer.
Chlorella is high in compounds such as beta-carotene, chlorophyll, lutein, and lycopene, all of which are considered to be antioxidants. This means that they help protect the body against free radicals and, by extension, oxidation. Studies have also shown that chlorella affects how genes age.
