Why is Yaeyama Chlorella from Yaeyama Shokusan recommended?

If you're having trouble choosing chlorella, start by looking at these three points: 1) ingredients, 2) ease of digestion, and 3) how it's made.

1. The raw material is simply "chlorella only"

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

Yaeyama Chlorella is made only from chlorella, and is designed without adding any unnecessary ingredients.

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

② Chlorella that is easy to digest

Chlorella is protected by a strong cell wall, so it is known that its ease of digestion varies depending on whether or not the cell wall is approached (processed).

(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 approach the cell wall, and the manufacturer's information states the following:

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

And this is another interesting aspect of Yaeyama Chlorella.

Chlorella also contains "difficult-to-digest" components, and research suggests that they may attach to unwanted substances in the intestines and help them pass through 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)

Yaeyama Chlorella raw material produced on Ishigaki Island obtained "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 having trouble choosing chlorella, we recommend comparing it based on these three things: ingredients, ease of digestion, and how it's made.
