From Health Ranger Chlorella

I discovered some very interesting information regarding Chlorella which I would like to share with you. Chlorella is one of the ingredients in Power Greens.

1890  chlorella  discovered by scientist, Dutch microbiologist Martinus Willem Beijerinck describing it as the first alga ever found with a well-defined nucleus. [4]

1900s, interest in chlorella surged as researchers recognized its high nutrient density but chlorella’s poor digestibility, thanks to its naturally rigid cell wall, hampered its rise as a cost-effective superfood that offers both nutrition and food security. [5]

1970s This hurdle of the rigid cell wall in chlorella  was overcome by the advent of cell wall-breaking technology which ensured that the nutrients packed within chlorella cells could be efficiently absorbed by the body. This “broken cell wall” chlorella is what we consume today in powder, tablet, capsule, or liquid extract form.

But there was another  problem states Health Ranger

In a report published in the Journal of Applied Phycology, researchers tested food supplements, including 10 EU-registered chlorella products, and found that some had increased amounts of toxic heavy metals like aluminum, lead and inorganic arsenic. All tested supplements also contained trace amounts of cadmium, mercury and nickel. [8]

While the study noted that their levels were below safety limits, these heavy metals are known to accumulate in bodily tissues over time, causing significant damage and raising one’s risk of chronic health issues. [9]

Heavy metals are not the only toxic contaminants in chlorella to watch out for. A 2025 article published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences reported that, aside from caffeine, many chlorella products also contain pharmaceutical residues like

carbamazepine, a common epilepsy and bipolar  disorder medication, and

benzocaine, an over-the-counter anesthetic.

 thiabendazole, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic;

 metronidazole, an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication;

sildenafil, also known as Viagra;

 sulfamethoxazole, another antibiotic.

Not all chlorella is the same. Be very careful about trusting the chlorella you find in the market.

 

From Dr Axe

Chlorella is a green algae rich in chlorophyll, just like its cousin spirulina.

Chlorella benefits include helping with detoxification from heavy metals and conventional cancer treatments, boosting the immune system and skin health, helping with weight loss, lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and fighting cancer.

It’s also commonly used as a natural remedy for boosting energy and mental function.

Chlorella powder and spirulina powder can both be easily be added to any smoothie recipe. They can also be used in soups, desserts and more!

My Take Away

Notice every ingredient in Power Greens has it’s a Latin name to identify the correct species meaning the species with the correct plant and the highest amount of nutrients in it.

Every ingredient has been tested for heavy metals. Potency, pesticide and any other kind of contamination. Every herb present in Power Greens has a mg  amount beside it.

One scoop of Power Greens provides you with 2 full servings of vegetables. If you were to compare the price of 2 servings of vegetables that is not tested for heavy metals, or potency or identity or contamination then you would find out that the cost of Power Greens is a steal.

I mention Power Greens today for a very specific reason. Your body needs a source of fuel. That fuel comes from foods. And you just are not getting enough energy from the foods you are eating. How do I know that? Every day I witness people who are not well, people who have health challenges, people who are on medications, people who are diagnosed with cancers. That tells me that there is not enough energy in their bodies to sustain their wellness. They are all eating grocery story bought foods but they are still sick and suffering. This is a simple common sense conclusion. There is not enough energy to sustain their body functions. They need more than grocery bought foods. So I say that everyone needs to add Power Greens to their grocery bill.

 

Present day agricultural practices have interfered with our plants' abilities to convert raw elements into bioavailable minerals. You are all mineral and nutrient deficient ! How do I know this?  You are either low in energy, taking a drug or have depression and a foggy brain. If you had enough nutrition in your body to sustain your health you would not be feeling this way. You cannot get the nutrition you need from common grocery store foods or even health store bought foods. You need quality controlled  high dense nutrient super foods only available from Nature's Sunshine. I have all the success stories to

prove that what I say is true ! –

I want to now share a story of a man I worked with many years ago. He was diagnosed with liver cancer. He followed the program I designed for him, He overcame C-Diff, he no longer needed any of the medications he was on and he overcame cancer.

Then I did not hear from him until one day about 2 years later. He called me and I could hear his voice of desperation. He had a lump that showed up on his neck. He is what he had been doing for the last year or so. He purchased a Vita Mix. And now he was buying store bought vegetables and making a smoothie using these vegetables. He stopped taking all Nature Sunshine products. As you can see he was okay for a year but then the lump showed up on his neck.

My recommendations was to get back on the Natures Sunshine super food smoothies; Power Greens, Collagen, Flax Hull Lignans, Solstic Energy. He did just that. It was about a month later that I heard back from him. The lump was gone. He now realized that there just is not enough energy tin grocery bought foods to sustain life.
