Chlorella spirulina tablets

More about Chlorella spirulina tablets

Organic chlorella spirulina tablets by Mattisson are made with 100% pure, organic spirulina and chlorella, without any additives, and are suitable for a vegan diet. When you buy this chlorella spirulina combo, you get 240 tablets rich in essential nutrients. Some people add them to their routine as part of a broader approach to general nutrition and wellbeing.

The chlorella in Mattisson chlorella spirulina tablets is processed to have a partially broken cell wall, because the natural hard cell wall of chlorella is difficult for humans to digest. This helps you get the most out of the product.

These tablets are made by Mattisson, a renowned Dutch health and wellness brand dedicated to improving people's wellbeing through sustainably produced, high-quality health supplements. You can also explore other Mattisson products in our Healthshop.

Ingredients of Mattisson chlorella spirulina tablets

Each organic Mattisson tablet contains 250 mg of chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) and 250 mg of spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). May contain naturally occurring sulfites.

What are spirulina and chlorella?

Spirulina and chlorella are two different types of microalgae, and you may have heard about them because they are both considered superfoods thanks to their rich nutrient content. They both photosynthesize, which means they produce their nutrients from just sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of minerals.

Spirulina, under the scientific name Arthrospira platensis, is a vibrant blue-green alga, belonging to a group of organisms called cyanobacteria. It is naturally found in alkaline lakes in regions such as Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Our Healthshop also offers spirulina on its own. Check out the Mattisson spirulina tablets to find out more.

Chlorella, on the other hand, is a single-celled green freshwater alga belonging to the division Chlorophyta. Mattisson uses the species Chlorella vulgaris, the most studied and widely consumed type. It consists of tiny, spherical cells and is native to freshwater rivers and lakes, particularly in East Asia. We also offer Mattisson chlorella tablets in our Healthshop.

Both spirulina and chlorella are cultivated in water-based farms (alkaline for spirulina and freshwater for chlorella) under controlled conditions. They are also considered sustainable and eco-friendly thanks to their rapid growth and high nutritional value relative to their low resource requirements, using significantly less water than traditional agriculture.

What nutrients are found in Mattisson chlorella and spirulina tablets?

These chlorella spirulina tablets contain plenty of healthy nutrients, combining the benefits of both microalgae into one convenient format. Take a look at some of the nutrients contained in chlorella and spirulina:

• Proteins: Chlorella contains about 50–60% protein and spirulina around 60–70%, both on a dry-weight basis (for context, chicken or beef contain around 27% protein). They also provide all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own.
• Vitamins: Spirulina and chlorella both provide a range of vitamins, with notable amounts of vitamin A and a wide spectrum of B vitamins such as B1, B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6, B9, and B7 (biotin), along with smaller amounts of vitamins C, E, and K. Chlorella is also a known source of bioactive vitamin B12, which the body can absorb. The exact amounts vary depending on how the algae are grown and processed.
• Minerals: Both algae are rich in iron, magnesium, and zinc. They also contain smaller amounts of potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and selenium.
• Antioxidant pigments: Such as chlorophyll (especially in chlorella), beta-carotene, and phycocyanin (especially in spirulina), which contribute to the bright colour and to their antioxidant properties.

What are some of the spirulina and chlorella benefits?

Some people reach for spirulina and chlorella as part of their general approach to nutrition, immune support, or daily energy. Other potential effects, such as roles in detoxification processes, are still being explored in research. Below you can find some of the most consistently discussed potential spirulina and chlorella benefits:

• Antioxidant effects: Spirulina contains compounds such as phycocyanin and beta-carotene, while chlorella provides chlorophyll alongside vitamins C and E. Vitamins C and E specifically contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Source of protein and amino acids: Chlorella spirulina tablets provide plant-based protein and essential amino acids. Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle mass, which can make these tablets especially useful for those following vegetarian or vegan diets.
• Cardiometabolic research: Spirulina contains active compounds such as phycocyanin, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), polyphenols, bioactive peptides, and antioxidants, which researchers continue to study for their possible roles in cardiometabolic wellbeing. Chlorella has also been the subject of preliminary research in this area, though more studies are needed to confirm any specific effects.
• Vitamin B12: This is mostly relevant for chlorella, which is a known source of bioactive vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and the normal function of the immune system and nervous system. If you would like to supplement B12 specifically, you can find several options in our Healthshop, such as Proviform B12.

How to use Mattisson chlorella spirulina tablets?

Side effects of green superfood algae supplements

Both spirulina and chlorella are classified as 'Generally Recognized as Safe' (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when consumed in normal amounts. However, some people may still experience mild side effects.

Side effects could include headache or gastrointestinal discomfort (mild nausea, cramping, gas, etc.), which often resolve with time as the body adjusts. In rare cases, an allergic reaction may occur. Due to chlorella's high chlorophyll content, you may also notice green-coloured stool, which is harmless.

An important factor for both spirulina and chlorella is their quality. Low-quality algae may be contaminated with heavy metals or toxins such as microcystins. So it is important you always choose supplements from reliable and trusted sources.
