The green Chlorella algae for perfect blood sugar and cholesterol levels
Unlike Spirulina, Chlorella is a single genus of freshwater algae. But like Spirulina – it’s awesome for managing one’s cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Multiple studies have demonstrated that Chlorella lowers overall cholesterol levels, specifically bad LDL cholesterol[27,28]. It’s been shown that taking as much as 5-10 grams of Chlorella daily can help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides[29].
What’s more, Chlorella also helps promote good kidney and heart health which is great for maintaining normal blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that Chlorella has a definitive effect on lowering blood sugar levels as well as for preventing stiffness of the arteries[30,31].
All this, together with Chlorella being exceptionally rich in nutrients such as iron, vitamins C and B12, Omega-3s, fiber, proteins, antioxidants, and more, make it a must-have superfood for diabetics.
