3. Is it better to take Chlorella powder or tablets?
Chlorella powder is usually the best choice because it’s so versatile. You can easily mix it into smoothies, and juices, or even sprinkle it over your food. It’s also easier for your body to digest, so you get the benefits faster. Tablets, on the other hand, take a little longer to break down, but they’re great if you’re on the go or don’t like the taste of the powder.

5. Who should not take Chlorella Vulgaris?
Chlorella isn’t safe for everyone. It’s not recommended for children under 12, and you should avoid it if you have allergies to algae or similar foods. If you’re taking blood-thinning medication, talk to your doctor first since Chlorella might affect how the medicine works.
