HOMEPAGE

 

Yaeyama Chlorella has been produced by Yaeyama Shokusan Co. for the last 40 years at the remote tropical Ishigaki Island in Okinawa at the southern tip of the Japanese archipelago. It is cultivated in outdoor pools using pure quality fresh water rich in minerals, abundant sunrays and fresh, clean unpolluted air. It is then processed using advanced Breaking Cell Wall technology with high pressure and steam of 130-degree centigrade for 20 seconds that helps scratch the cell wall of the algae followed by a proprietary jet-spray drying process in 160-degree centigrade for 20 seconds  that ensures maximum nutrient retention. The resulting premium Yaeyama Chlorella powder (fine: 20-100 micron or ultra-fine:1-10 micron particle size) is used for tablets and extract liquid under rigid ISO-9001 Quality Control and sanitation standards where no foreign object, bacteria and other algae.

What you should expect from our chlorella products:
 
100% pure unadulterated premium quality cracked-cell Yaeyama Chlorella Vulgaris with 78%-85% absorption rate, one of the very best in the world with its amazing nutritional and health benefits. 
 
There are three choices of your chlorella: 250mg tablets, 600mg vegetarian capsules and fine powder all with the same superb cracked-cell wall Yaeyama Chlorella in a variety of packs for 1-month, 3-month, 6-month or more.

 

Both powder and tablets are GMO-free, certified kosher, irradiation-free and free from all pesticides, preservatives or any synthetic additives. 0.5% tricalcium phosphate, a nutritional supplement that occurs naturally in cow milk, is used as binder in the tablets.
 
 Tablets and capsules are vacuum-packed in state-of-the-art food-graded 90 micron aluminium foil bags with a press ziplock to reseal after opening. The benefits are:

• Removes oxygen so preventing oxidation and film forming on the tablet

• Keeps out water and dust reliably

• Protects against moisture and drying out

• Contents stay complete and unharmed

• The outer foil liner gives an optimum light barrier, the inner liner is food-grade plastic (PET/AL/PE)

• Individual 90g packs means that every time you open a pack, contents are fresh

The pots for our chlorella powder are manufactured from high-grade polypropylene in a superior, high-gloss finish with a tear-band tamper-evident closure - this helps to protect the product from damage and spoilage during transportation by minimising movement in unused space inside the container. They are packed with a SuperDryPak™ safe indicating silica gel 1g sachet that keeps the powder fresh and free from moisture. SuperDryPak™ is an environmentally friendly desiccant which provides a clear and distinct colour change from orange (dry) to green (saturated) as it absorbs moisture.

  

The brown kraft paper stand-up pouches for our chlorella products are manufactured from 70gsm paper and 12 micron metalised PET / 70 micron PE lining (food grade specification) with a tear-band and resealable ziplock. Note that the individual layers of the pouches can be recycled. They are also packed with a SuperDryPak™ safe indicating silica gel 1g desiccant that keeps the contents fresh and free from moisture.
 
Our capsules are 100% vegetarian with no porcine, bovine or fish gelatine and they contain a minimum net 600mg fill. They are GMO-free and approved for use in organic products. These chlorella filled capsules can be purchased only by special order.

 

Packages are clearly labelled with taking instructions, detailed nutritional analysis, batch number, "best before" dates and contact details.
 
All our chlorella products are suitable for vegans and vegetarians and are certified by the Japan Health & Nutrition Food Association (JHFA).
