Chlorella grown in the unique environment of Ishigaki Island, made with 100% pure ingredients ( Chlorella only) and completely free of additives. Taking approximately 10 tablets daily allows you to supplement your diet with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in a natural balance.
About Yaeyama Chlorella
Yaeyama Chlorella is a natural food product made from microalgae (Chlorella) that are said to have existed for approximately 2 billion years, cultivated in the environment of Ishigaki Island, Okinawa.
We deliver this product with 100% natural ingredients (Chlorella only), without any additives.
By taking around 10 tablets daily, you can add the nutrients contained in Chlorella, such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, to your diet in a "natural balance."
100% raw materials, no additives: Designed without fillers or coagulants
Digestibility (protein digestibility): Manufacturer information states that the range is 75-90% (in small animal tests), and official testing (July 12, 2006) indicates that the protein digestibility is 85%.
60 or more types of nutrients: Contains nutrients that modern people need to be aware of, such as B vitamins, iron, and folic acid.
Amino acid score 100: Ideal protein balance despite being plant-based
Ishigaki Island-produced, globally certified: First in the world to obtain ASC-MSC (algae) certification (2019)
5 Reasons to Choose Yaeyama Chlorella
1. Simple design made from 100% raw materials and no additives
While many Chlorella products use excipients and coagulants to solidify the granules, Yaeyama Chlorella has succeeded in forming tablets using only Chlorella powder through its unique tableting technology.
We value simplicity, not including any unnecessary elements, so that it is easy to continue using every day.
*The difference in color may be a guide, but ultimately we recommend checking the ingredient label (whether or not excipients or additives are present).
2. Our unique cell wall-breaking process makes it easy to digest, making it easy to continue taking every day.
Because Chlorella is protected by a very tough cell wall, its nutrients may not be easily utilized in their natural state.
Yaeyama Chlorella undergoes a unique process of cell wall disruption, and according to the manufacturer's information, the following results are reported:
Protein digestibility (small animal test): 75-90% range
Official test results (July 12, 2006): 85%
And this is another interesting aspect of Yaeyama Chlorella.
Studies suggest that Chlorella's "hard-to-digest cell wall" may support the process of attaching to waste products in the intestines and expelling them together.
Some animal studies have also reported findings suggesting that substances ranging from fat-soluble substances such as dioxins to certain mycotoxins may be less readily taken into the body (their transfer may be reduced).
*The above information is based primarily on in-vitro/animal research and does not guarantee any perceived benefits or effects. Please use it as a foundation for your daily diet.
3. Purely domestically produced Chlorella grown in the environment of Ishigaki Island.
They are grown in Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture, under strong sunlight and pure water.
We carefully preserve the unique original strain discovered in the Yaeyama Islands and implement a hygiene management system that is unparalleled in the world: "Full harvest and full cleaning."
The Japanese spirit of manufacturing, which pursues quality over efficiency, lives on.
4. Contains 60 or more nutrients
Although it is plant-based, it has an ideal protein balance with an amino acid score of 100, and contains nutrients that modern people should be conscious of, such as B vitamins, iron, folic acid, and lutein.
For those who don't have many opportunities to sunbathe, vitamin D is one of the nutrients you should be conscious of in your diet.
Furthermore, in recent years, with the expansion of research into autophagy (the cell cleaning and recycling function), polyamines (such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine), which can be obtained from food, have also become a topic of discussion. Chlorella has also been reported to contain these polyamines.
As a daily nutritional support, you can easily continue taking 10 tablets a day as a healthy habit.
5. Contains Chlorella unique ingredient, "CGF".
"C.G.F. (Chlorella Growth Factor)," found only in Chlorella, is said to be the source of the vitality that allows Chlorella to divide into four cells in about 20 hours.
It is a complex composed of nucleic acids and amino acids, and is a unique nutritional component of Chlorella.
Main nutrients of Yaeyama Chlorella
Rich in dietary fiber and chlorophyll
Chlorella contains dietary fiber and chlorophyll. It helps supplement the nutrition of those who feel they are not getting enough vegetables in their daily diet.
Contains antioxidant ingredients
It contains antioxidants such as lutein, vitamin E, and vitamin C. It is suitable as a nutritional supplement for people who are concerned about their health as they age.
High-quality proteins and amino acids
It contains protein with an amino acid score of 100, which includes all essential amino acids. Although it is plant-based, it allows you to efficiently consume the nutrients necessary for building your body. It is also recommended for those who are conscious about their beauty.
Rich in vitamins and minerals
It contains a balanced amount of nutrients that are often lacking in modern diets, such as vitamin D, B vitamins, iron, zinc, and calcium.
Contains active vitamin B12
It contains active vitamin B12, which is rare in plant-based foods. It can be one option for nutritional supplementation for people whose diet is mainly plant-based.
In recent years, as research into autophagy (the cell cleaning and recycling function) has expanded, polyamines have been attracting attention as components that can be obtained from food.
Chlorella has also been reported to contain polyamines such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, making it an easy ingredient to incorporate as a "plus 1" for those who want to improve their daily diet.

FAQ
What is the difference between this and spirulina?
Both Chlorella and spirulina are algae, but their nutritional compositions differ. Yaeyama Chlorella has a tough cell wall and contains its own unique component, CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor). It also has different nutritional characteristics from spirulina, such as protein with an amino acid score of 100 and active vitamin B12.
How many tablets should I take per day?
As a guide, take 10 tablets (2g) daily with water or lukewarm water. You can take it on an empty stomach or after a meal, depending on your lifestyle.
Can I expect any changes when I first start taking it?
Yaeyama Chlorella is a food product, not a medicine. However, if you suddenly consume a large amount of something you don't normally eat, you may experience temporary changes such as loose stools. In that case, reduce the amount to 1-3 tablets and gradually increase it at your own pace.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Although this is a natural food, pregnant and breastfeeding women are prone to experiencing changes in their physical condition. Please consult your doctor before consuming this product.
I'm taking medication. Is it safe to take this supplement as well?
If you are taking warfarin (an anticoagulant), please refrain from consuming Yaeyama Chlorella, as the vitamin K it contains may affect the medication's function. If you are taking any other medications, it is recommended to wait at least one hour before consuming Yaeyama Chlorella. If you are currently receiving medical treatment, please consult your doctor before consuming Yaeyama Chlorella.
How long should I continue?
It is recommended that you take health foods on a regular basis as part of your daily diet. We recommend continuing for around 3 months initially, while paying attention to your own physical condition.
Yaeyama Shokusan's Commitment - 50 Years of History and Globally Recognized Quality
The story began about 50 years ago when our first president discovered the "original strain" on Iriomote Island in the Yaeyama Islands.
There is a reason why Ishigaki Island was chosen as the location. It is an isolated island far from Honshu that allows it to maintain a clean environment free from air pollution and industrial wastewater.
Yaeyama Shokusan chose outdoor pools with conditions close to nature, where Chlorella is exposed to plenty of Ishigaki Island's intense sunlight for photosynthesis, rather than efficiency-focused tank cultivation.
Furthermore, they employ a thorough hygiene management system of "harvesting all the Chlorella and cleaning the entire pool," which is unparalleled in the world. While many overseas manufacturers use "continuous cultivation," where water is added to the pool to continue cultivation, Yaeyama Shokusan harvests all the Chlorella after each cultivation cycle, empties the pool, and thoroughly cleans and disinfects it.
"Absolute quality over efficiency."
This honest approach to work was internationally recognized in January 2019 when it became the first in the world to obtain "ASC-MSC (Algae) certification." The thorough quality control unique to the Japanese is the reason why Yaeyama Chlorella continues to be chosen from all over the world.
