The magic of polysaccharides found in the cell wall of chlorella

Chlorella has a unique cell wall structure that imparts additional immune-enhancing properties. The chlorella cell wall is made of complex polysaccharides, which have been shown to stimulate interferon production and exhibit strong anti-tumor activity. This was shown in a series of studies conducted primarily in Japan over the last several decades.

These studies showed that the outer wall of the chlorella cell also contains compounds that protect the body from cancer-promoting mutations while enhancing overall immunity.
