If you're engaged in physically intense activities (strength training, cardiovascular training) or heavy metabolic processes (high-protein dieting, chemotherapy, exposure to toxins), you'll find the chlorophyll of both chlorella and spirulina to offer tremendous support. This chlorophyll cleanses the liver, kidneys and blood of toxins and metabolic impurities (such as excess uric acid).

When the liver and kidneys are working more smoothly, everything improves in the body.

This cleansing effect is especially important for people who follow any sort of low-carb diet (Atkins diet, South Beach diet, etc.) since such diets are well known to place a heavy burden on the liver and kidneys. (Eliminating excess ketones from the blood and body takes work.) As I've mentioned, I follow a low-carb diet myself, since I think refined carbohydrates have no place in the diet of healthy human beings. But unlike most low-carb dieters, I also take plenty of chlorella and spirulina to make sure my system gets the support it needs.

People who engage in substance abuse of any kind -- smoking, drinking, drugs, and so on -- have a very strong need for chlorella and spirulina. Their habits place enormous stresses on their organs (especially the liver), and if they don't do something to support and cleanse those organs, they are undoubtedly headed towards some very undesirable results.

Chlorella and spirulina can help these people, but of course they can't counteract the overwhelming toxicity of smoking cigarettes, for example. A smoker who takes chlorella will be far healthier than a smoker who doesn't, but a person who doesn't smoke at all will be far healthier still.

The cleansing effect of chlorella and spirulina isn't limited to only those who engage in substance abuse. Thanks to environmental toxins, air pollution, water pollution and other contaminants, we are all exposed to toxic substances, even if we avoid the worst habits like smoking. As a result, we can all benefit from the cleansing and detoxifying effects of chlorella and spirulina.
