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.
