Chlorella
Green algae with protein, fiber and chlorophyll. People take it for:
- Protein, fiber and chlorophyll from a green algae
- Possible help with cholesterol levels
- Possible help with blood sugar markers
- Possible small drop in body fat
Why it works
People take it for a concentrated plant source of protein, fiber, vitamins and chlorophyll. Reviews of small trials link it to modest changes in cholesterol, body weight and blood sugar markers, but the certainty of that evidence is very low.
