Why Yaeyama Chlorella from Yaeyama Shokusan is recommended

If you're unsure which Chlorella to choose, start by looking at these three points. The key points are: ① ingredients, ② ease of digestion, and ③ manufacturing method.

① The ingredients are simply "Chlorella only".

Supplement granules may contain excipients (starch, cellulose, etc.) to solidify them.

Yaeyama Chlorella uses only Chlorella as its raw material. It's designed without adding any unnecessary ingredients.

*It is recommended to check the ingredients label to see if any additives are present.

② Chlorella that focuses on "ease of digestion"

Because Chlorella is protected by a strong cell wall, it is known that its digestibility changes depending on whether or not the cell wall is approached (treated).

(There are reports that if the cell walls are not broken down, digestibility can reach 60-70%, so this is an area where differences can easily occur depending on the manufacturing method and evaluation method.)

Yaeyama Chlorella uses a unique process to target the cell wall, and the manufacturer's information is as follows:

• Protein digestibility (small animal test): 75-90% range
• Public Exam (July 12, 2006): 85%

And this is another interesting aspect of Yaeyama Chlorella.

Chlorella contains "difficult-to-digest components," and research suggests that these may help support the process of binding to waste products in the intestines and eliminating them from the body.

Animal tests have also shown that fat-soluble substances such as dioxins and some mold toxins (mycotoxins) may be less likely to be absorbed by the body (their migration may be suppressed).

3. Ishigaki Island-produced, the world's first internationally certified seaweed (ASC-MSC seaweed [algae] certified)

The Yaeyama Chlorella raw material produced on Ishigaki Island received "ASC-MSC Seaweed (Algae) Certification" in 2019.

Another feature is that the quality and manufacturing process are recognized according to international standards.

If you're unsure which Chlorella to choose, we recommend comparing them based on these three factors: ingredients, digestibility, and manufacturing process.
