SOLUTIONS
Purification:
-
Which molecule is present in high quantities in Chlorella ? Chlorophyll: this antioxidant has the ability to do a cellular purification, eliminating toxins and heavy metals. In addition, the chlorophyll acts on the liver to improve its detoxifying capacity.
Which of these algae does not exist in nature? Craolin. Spirulina is an alga with properties similar to those of Chlorella , while Kelp is a brown alga with hypoglycemic, purifying and remineralizing properties.

Defenses:

Vitamin D also stimulates the immune system, but its levels tend to drop in the fall as there is not enough exposure to the sun to promote its internal production.
-
