ActiveCells Chlorella is a nutrient-dense freshwater microalgae grown exclusively in glass-tube photobioreactors in Germany, a controlled cultivation method that keeps the algae fully shielded from outdoor contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticide residue, and airborne pollutants. Unlike Chlorella grown in open ponds or aluminum tank fermenters, this closed sunlight system allows natural photosynthesis while eliminating exposure to weather variation and industrial water sources, and the product uses its own on-site artesian spring water source.

A distinguishing feature of this Chlorella is that its cell wall is left intact rather than mechanically or chemically cracked. The cell wall itself plays the key functional role in binding heavy metals and toxins for excretion, and intact walls also protect the nutrient content from oxidative degradation during processing. A gentle drying method is used in place of harsh ultrasonic or high-heat techniques to further preserve nutrient integrity.

Nutritionally, Chlorella offers a balanced composition of roughly 50% protein (including 20 amino acids), minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron), a full B-vitamin complex including bioavailable B12, vitamins C, E and K1, polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, and the highest chlorophyll concentration of any known plant source. It is especially valued as a source of bioavailable B12 for those following vegan or vegetarian diets, as well as for elderly individuals with reduced nutrient absorption.

Certifications & standout features: cultivated exclusively in Germany, Halal certified (RACS), non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, no capsules or additives, and compatible with thyroid sensitivity since Chlorella grows only in freshwater, which is naturally low in iodine.
