ALGOMED ® Chlorella is the brand name for microalgae grown in Klötze, Germany since 2000.
Alogmed Chlorella grows in a patented 500 km long glass tube system. This method of cultivation protects the Chlorella from contamination and is optimally supplied with sunlight.
They derive their main raw material, water, from an artesian source - from over forty-five meters in depth!
The growing season in central Germany, depending on the weather conditions, is from about March to November.
The chlorella is gently dried and processed without additives. Their in-house and external laboratories regularly examine the products. Through their many years of experience, they have specially developed a cultivation method, and with it, they can ensure exceptionally good product quality.
Algomed Chlorella is grown and packaged in Germany under strict GMP and ISO 9001 Certification.
The question frequently arises whether the Chlorella cell walls have to be broken up in some way (in a ball mill, with ultrasound, etc.) to improve their digestibility or other properties. The cell walls of Algomed Chlorella are not broken up. They don’t have to be. Various investigations into this have shown that the digestibility of Chlorella is not significantly increased by breaking up its cell walls. The body produces enzymes that are more than capable of breaking down the cell wall of this species of chlorella.
Factors such as the drying process or the strain of Chlorella used have a greater impact. A publication by T. Kanno (2005) summarizes this as follows: “The original characteristics and the physiological effects of Chlorella are not changed by breaking up the cell wall” and “It is more to be feared that the process of breaking up the cell wall may degrade proteins, destroy vitamins, and fatty acids, thereby resulting in oxidation effects.”
The topic of the bioavailability of vitamin B12 from algae is a point of controversy. And in fact, there are indeed major differences between algae with regard to the presence of various cobalamins and their bioavailability. Using the LC-MS/MS method lets them detect only the bioavailable forms in it. Their Chlorella contains 100 μg of total vitamin B12 per 100 g of product, i.e. the recommended daily dose of 3 g of Chlorella represents 120 % of the daily requirement.
