Because of the lack of efficacy in depression medications, there is a need to find alternatives. One of those alternatives is a green algae called chorella. Chorella has been used in Asian countries for hundreds of years for both medicinal purposes and as a dietary supplement. While there has been some research done about chorella, but the studies haven’t been the randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled studies that most scientists feel are necessary. The studies that have been done haven’t compared chorella to anything, but that would be necessary to trust the results.
Key Takeaways:
- According to one study, chlorella can help relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety in some people.
- Recent research suggests that chlorella helps to improve liver inflammation, which can lead to weight loss.
- Chlorella taken daily can be helpful in supporting healthy blood serum cholesterol levels.
“In a more recent study, a double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled dietary cholesterol challenge, researchers had 34 study subjects eat three eggs a day (a total of 510 mg of dietary cholesterol) with either a few spoonful of Chlorella or a matched placebo for four weeks.”
