Where is Detox & Rebuild Grown?

Detox & Rebuild Chlorella is grown in specially designed outdoor ponds in Taiwan, by the world's oldest Chlorella grower.

There is more Chlorella consumed in Japan than elsewhere on a per population basis and our producer is the only non- Japanese grower to have access to the Japanese market.

To achieve this access, stringent independent testing and certification was undertaken by the Japanese Ministry of Health.

Every shipment we source is batch tested and analysed by a certified Japanese laboratory to ensure the very high quality of Detox & Rebuild is maintained.

How is Detox & Rebuild Chlorella Different From Other Brands?

We use 100% pure Chlorella pyrenoidosa. This species has been used in more scientific research than others and this continues to enhance the growing knowledge base on the health benefits of this algae.

Detox & Rebuild Chlorella is amongst the finest Chlorella available in the world and most importantly, it delivers more value than many of its competitors because of its total digestibility at just over 83 %.

We buy direct and pass along the savings to you.

How is the Outer Shell of the Chlorella Cell Broken Open?

If the cell wall of the Chlorella is not broken open, the nutrients in Chlorella are not fully accessible. Not all Chlorella producers adequately open the cell wall. Some provide less than 50 % bio- availability. In other words half of your money is wasted!

The unique fibrous cell wall, found no where else in nature, differentiates Chlorella from any other algae. Detox & Rebuild Chlorella's growers use a process of rapid pressure change to rupture the outer shell rather than crushing it, as many other Chlorella producers do. This organic and very effective method of breaking open the cell wall leaves the nutrients in Chlorella untouched.

And nothing comes in contact with the Chlorella the way other methods use. By crushing the Chlorella shell, as other Chlorella producers’ practice, many of the nutrients are scattered and do not remain together as they should. Our process opens 99.9% of the Chlorella we produce, the highest open-wall rating of any brand on the market.

Chlorella is 100% Natural - So What?

Chlorella contains more than 20 Vitamins and Minerals all in a highly “bio-available” form, unlike synthetically produced multi-vitamin pills that fill the shelves in health food stores today. The vitamins and minerals founds in Chlorella are all presented in a form that the human body is easily able to digest and absorb.

And these components are there in ratios used in biological systems that have survived for billions of years.

How Does Chlorella's Cell Wall Benefit Human Health?

In laboratory experiments Chlorella’s cell wall has a proven capacity to bind toxic sustances and carry them out of the body.

Several remedies, mostly those containing larger amounts of chlorophyll, can help to remove toxic substances. The challenge is that once mobilised out of the body's stores, they are carried around in the blood. This can lead to them simply being deposited in other body stores, or in many cases, excreted into the bowel through the liver, simply to be re-absorbed further down the intestinal tract.

Once in the bowel, Chlorella's indigestible cell wall, traps and irreversibly binds these toxic substances to be carried out in the faeces.

How Does Chlorophyll Benefit the Body?

Because Chlorophyll can be directly absorbed across mucous membranes such as your mouth, throat and intestinal walls, it can be rapidly absorbed.

It can kill anaerobic bacteria including a large number of pathogenic bacteria. It may stop the growth of kidney stones, it supports the body's natural pain relief, it may help to stabilise blood pressure and breathing, it may protect against harmful radiation, it supports the bodies elimination of toxins, supports the bowel function and diminishes bad smells.

The high chlorophyll content of Detox & Rebuild Chlorella helps cleanse the blood while the iron, B-12 and folic acid support the body in building new red blood cells.

Chlorophyll supports better bowel function and increased elimination, carrying off more cholesterol and fats in the waste.

What is Chlorophyll?

It’s a green pigment that gives plants their colour and enables them to turn sunlight into energy, a process called photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll absorbs light in the red and blue-violet portions of the visible spectrum; the green portion is not absorbed but is reflected, giving chlorophyll its characteristic colour.

Chlorella contains more Chlorophyll per gram than any other plant.

Chlorophyll Content Comparison

Fresh Wheatgrass Juice    0.1-0.2%

Whole Leaf Wheatgrass Powder    0.6%

Broccoli    0.6%

Alfalfa Juice    0.7-1.2%

Spirulina    1.0%

Spinach    1.3%

Chlorella    2-3%

Chlorophyll has a chemical structure similar to Hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying red pigment of blood. Its not surprising then, that there are so many reports of rapid return to normal blood count with sever anaemia. Experiments on severly anaenmic rabbits has proven this as reported in the Journal of Physiology Vol 88, #388, way back in 1936!

What benefits can Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) provide?

Research has indicated that CGF can help to remove harmful toxic substances from your body, may stimulate your immune system, may help to enhance tissue repair and preserve cellular integrity. This promotes good health by supporting the specialist white blood cell defenders, the T and B lymphocytes and macrophages.

The T-cells are active in fighting against viruses and the B-cells produce antibodies for fighting against bacteria and macrophages which are active against infections, foreign proteins and chemicals.

What is Chlorella Growth Factor (C.G.F)?

It is a unique substance that is the most important component of Chlorella for supporting the construction of healthy new body cells.

CGF is not a single element but rather a complex combination of amino acids, nucleic acids, peptides, and carbohydrates, with the unique ability to stimulate tissue growth and repair and stimulating the immune system, our body's disease prevention system.

Why is Chlorella pyrenoidosa King of all Chlorella's?

There are ten general different species of Chlorella. Since 1970, scientists have been searching for answers to questions to answers like; "Why does Chlorella pyrenoidosa have such a pronounced detoxificaiton effect?"

Laboratory research shows that no other algae, not even the close relative, Chlorella vulgaris, show the same levels of effectiveness.

The long years of study reveal some answers. To date the known components in Chlorella pyrenoidosa that separate it are;

Sporpoellein is part of the middle section of the three part cell wall. It irreversibly binds with many toxic substances.

High levels of RNA and DNA that comprise the unique Chlorella Growth Factor - see later notes.

Chitinous Microfibrils contained in the cell wall and act like a magnetic net to physically trap heavy metals.

What Vitamins and Minerals are contained in Detox and Rebuild Chlorella pyrenoidosa?

Detox and Rebuild Chlorella contains pro-vitamin A, many components of the vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitmain E. B vitamins come in many forms, each fulfilling an important role in maintaining our health. Chlorella contains B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12. You can see a full range of the vitamins found in Detox and Rebuild Chlorella and their concentration by clicking here

Detox and Rebuild Chlorella is rich in the macro minerals Iron, Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium. Other trace minerals such as Zinc, Selenium and Manganese are also present.

This is a fresh water micro algae and contains no or only very small traces of iodine.

What is Chlorella?

Detox and Rebuild Chlorella is a freshwater single-celled green algae. There are several species of Chlorella whose cells contain virtually all the rich nutrients needed in a healthy diet.

Chlorella has a unique range of components, including Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), all the essential amino acids, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, many vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

The typical nutritional breakdown is 63% protein, 18% carbohydrate, 12.4% lipids 2.6% water and 4% ash.

Spirulina and Chlorella - How Do They Differ?

Both Spirulina and Chlorella are great super foods, yet they differ significantly despite both being sold as green tablets or green powder.

Spirulina is a member of the blue-green algae family. It belongs to the the prokaryote grouping of living organisms which are distinguished by their lack of a membrane bound nucleus.

Chlorella is the oldest living plant on earth and belongs to the eukaryote grouping. It is therefore a more sophisticated organism and also has a very robust outer cell wall. It was this cell wall that prevented it from becoming the valuable food source it is today as it meant our intestinal tract was simply unable to get at the valuable internal cell nutrients.

The cell wall of Detox & Rebuild Chlorella has been broken increasing bio-availability of nutrients to an average of 83%.

Chlorella has 2-3 times the amount of chlorophyll present in Spirulina which is an important detoxifying component adding to the unique detoxifying effect of the cell wall.

Protein content is similar. In Spirulina it's often stated to be about 60% and Chlorella is similar. Our Detox & Rebuild is 63%.

There is a real question over the form of Vitamin B12 and it's availability to the human physiology. Spirulina has a form widely accepted as not being available. Chlorella B12 is in a cobalamin form which is readily available.
