Is there a difference between broken cell wall algae and broken cell wall chlorella?

Well chlorella is a type of algae. Therefore if you can verify that the species of algae in the "broken cell wall algae" is chlorella, then there should be virtually no difference--aside from dosage and perhaps other ingredients. But those both would be labeled.

Chlorella are green, single-cell micro-algae. Chlorella has a very thick and strong cell wall, when the cell wall is not cracked, it is very difficult to be digested. Chlorella is a green algae that grows in fresh water. It emerged over 2 billion years ago, and was the first form of a plant with a well-defined nucleus. Each Chlorella microorganism is composed of a nucleus, starch grains, chloroplasts and mitochondria surrounded by a cell wall composed mainly of cellulose. Because it is a microscopic organism, it was not discovered until the late 19th century, deriving its name from the Greek, "chloros" meaning green and "ella" meaning small. There are various species. Although the algae grow naturally in fresh water, chlorella destined for human consumption is generally cultivated in large, fresh mineral water pools under direct sunlight. It is a tiny, unicellular green algae, three to eight micrometres in diameter, which when grown in large quantities gives lakes and rivers a green tint. Although it was discovered by a Dutch microbiologist in 1890 and studied as a potential protein source by German scientists, it wasn't until after the Second World War that the reality of food shortages, combined with the expectation of a population boom, led to bureaucrats globally examining chlorella in the hope that it could be used to feed the masses cheaply - this proved uneconomic. Later, NASA studied it with the possibility of feeding it to astronauts. It is currently being used in some countries to help cancer patients. That being said, broken cell wall algae and broken cell wall chlorella are the same. I hope this helps.

The label indicates there is 2 mg sourced from Algae. Also the calcium, magnesium, strontium, and vanadium is also sourced from Algae. I have read that type is more bio-avaiable, but I have no references on that. Hope this helps :)

It dint say anything about what kind of chlorella it is, but Im worry because they put a paper in the bottle that say "this product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm" thats strange because it didnt have any chemical in the label.

My package says only that it is 1.1 lbs of pure Chlorella broken cell powder, with no other ingredients. You will have to search for your answer.

I believe algae is the type of organizm, possibly related to kelp. I found more at: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae>;

It says on the bottle that the capsules are gelatin. That doesn't worry me but if you can't have it-I'm not sure what type of capsules you could use? This is the best chlorella that we have found and we buy it every month. Hope this answers your question.

Not that I know of... It is the purest cleanest form of Chlorella on the market that I know of... Check out the reviews on naturalnews .com-all good stuff/great source...

"100% Certified Organic Cracked Cell Wall Chlorella Pyrenoidosa"-According to the description on the item listing. I hope this helps. I am not the owner of this store and do not sell this product, but have been using it.

Nope they are not the same. This leaf zone prevents your the leaves of your plants from getting transparent due to lack of potassium. I would get this leaf zone and flourish excel. And skip seachem flourish. Flourish and flourish excel is not the same. I know kinda confusing at first.

Difficult to be sure but, its all about the balance of the elements. To much light and not enough time in dark place can effect the health of ecosystem. Did you attempt to address to much algae. If you look on the bottom of the pod you will find a serial number and it should have come with a instruction booklet ans magnet for addressing the algae build up. You can contact the maker and may need to send it vack to them to be recharged.

in all my research on chlorella tablets i've never seen anything about it getting rid of red marks on skin. that doesn't mean that it doesn't do that. it does have anti inflammatory qualities to it. it's main function is to filter toxins out of the bloodstream. spirulina has a thin cellular wall and filters out certain toxins, while chlorella has a thicker cellular wall and filters out other toxins like mercury. it has other qualities to it, like high in iron and protein. but again, i've never seen anything about getting rid of red marks. try coconut oil. it helps my eyes when the skin around them is red. it too is anti inflammatory.

We had no success fighting algae with this product. It makes the water very clear otherwise. We bought a copper ionizer this year to fight string algae and so far it's seemed to work fine. We've had terrible string algae in the past

I broke mine as well and haven't used it since. I will say after I stopped using it my SPS and LPS corals started to grow faster. I now use a protein skimmer and a gfo reactor and my tank is doing better than ever.

Hello. I was able to contact Now Foods directly with this question and was told that Spirulina is not cracked cell that process is only needed for chlorella, not Spirulina. Hope this helps.

There may be a few degree difference between heater and display. If so just clean off heater and node of algae or anything. Then replace. Make sure node has proper placement away from heater as well. Best to have heater vertical and in middle of tank as well.

I have jars of both the Hikari regular and spirulina version. I had purchased the regular before I found the spirulina. The only real difference I can tell is that one has spirulina. They both contain min 5.5%crude fat, max .5 crude fiber, max 6 moisture, and min .1% phosphorous. The spirulina version has min 48% crude protein, where the regular has min 47%.. So there might be a small difference in protein.The ingredients for both contain brine shrimp, Vitamin E, C, B1, B2, B6, B12, but the spirilina version of course has spirulina. In my opinion, the spirulina version offers more - extra green nutrients for your aquatic friends. I have jars of both the Hikari regular and spirulina version.

I don't know. The label says "environmentally controlled ponds." Call 1-800-9NATURE or visit www.naturesway.com and ask. Japan's chlorella market seems to have collapsed since the disaster. All commercial chlorella comes from China, Taiwan, Korea or Japan. More research might be necessary to find out the "cleanest" source.
