Why we selected this company:

Seroyal, a natural pharmaceutical company was founded in 1984.  Their products are based on scientific rationale using only the purest, highest quality, natural, raw ingredients available. Seroyal’s products are made with care and attention to every detail. To ensure product uniformity, each ingredient is accurately weighed, tested and precisely mixed. To retain the full healing properties of each component, all tablets are cold-pressed and a low pressure compressing process is used. This unique method does not involve the use of heat as is the standard practice in the industry. No lubricants or fillers are used during our encapsulation process whenever possible. They use the purest source of lubricant available, such as biodegradable vegetable cellulose, to maintain consistent capsule weight and content conformity.

Seroyal’s vegetable capsules are free of pesticides, preservatives and additives, tested by government-approved independent laboratories to ensure quick dissolution and disintegration. They guarantee that the disintegration time does not exceed 20 minutes from the time of ingestion for capsules, and 30 minutes for all their tablets. They regularly test their capsules and tablets to confirm weight variation and ingredient potency.

When manufacturing the Seroyal products, they follow the procedures outlined in the Good Manufacturing Practices. They ensure precision and objectivity during testing by contracting government-approved independent laboratories to assay and verify each ingredient for every product in each lot. They reconfirm each ingredient’s potency, weight variation, disintegration time and the absence of heavy metals, bacteria, E. coli, salmonella, yeasts, mold and other contaminants.

CHLORELLA PYRENOIDOSA - Fibromyalgia, Hypertension, Ulcerative Colitis

In 55 subjects with fibromyalgia, 33 with hypertension and 9 with ulcerative colitis who participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, subjects took 10 g of pure chlorella in tablet form and 100 ml of a liquid which contained a chlorella extract each day for 2 or 3 months. Results showed reductions in blood pressure and serum cholesterol levels, enhanced wound healing and immune function, improved sleep and reduced anxiety levels in fibromyalgia patients and a decline in the Disease Activity Index for ulcerative colitis symptoms.

Dioxins can be transferred from mother to fetus via the placenta, or to nursing infants via breast milk, potentially causing developmental health problems in children. To assess pediatric health risks from dioxins, exposure of mothers and children to dioxins must be clarified. Methods of reducing maternal transfer of dioxins should also be investigated. Concentrations of 28 dioxin (polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and co-planar polychlorinated biphenyls) congeners in blood, adipose tissue, breast milk, cord blood and placenta collected from 44 pregnant Japanese women were measured. In addition, to investigate potential reductions in maternal transfer of dioxins, 23 pregnant women were instructed to take Chlorella pyrenoidosa supplements during pregnancy. Correlations were observed between dioxin total toxic equivalents (total TEQ) in blood and total TEQ in adipose tissue (r=0.913, P<0.0001), breast milk (r=0.695, P=0.0007), and cord blood (r=0.759, P<0.0001). Dioxin levels transferred to fetuses and nursing infants reflect cumulative maternal concentrations of dioxins. A linear regression equation was introduced to predict total TEQ in breast milk and cord blood from dioxin levels in maternal blood, which should prove useful in evaluating fetal and infant risk of dioxin exposure. Total TEQ in cord blood were approximately 26% lower than in maternal blood (P<0.0001). The results of this study suggest that transplacental transfer differs depending on the dioxin congener. Total TEQ in breast milk were approximately 30% lower in the Chlorella group than in controls (P=0.0113). This finding suggests that maternal transfer of dioxins can be reduced using dietary measures such as Chlorella supplements.

Benefits for the body:
Since chlorella contains a broad spectrum of nutrients, it helps to support and repair organs and tissues. Chlorgen is indicated for heavy metal detoxification, cardiovascular disorders, halitosis, immune deficiency, ulcers, slow growth in children, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, anemia and for accelerating wound healing. The capsules are 100% pure vegetable-sourced. Product ideal for vegans.

Interesting facts:
Chlorgen provides an excellent source of chlorella pyrenoidosa extract to specifically assist with detoxification of heavy metals and chemical pollutants, as well as to increase energy levels. Chlorella, cultured in pure water, is a green micro-algae providing the highest concentration of chlorophyll and phytonutrients, as well as over 70 macro and micro-minerals. Research indicates that regular use of chlorella can help to guard against heart disease, reduce high blood pressure, lower serum cholesterol levels, improve digestion and promote the growth of beneficial anerobic bacteria in the gut.

Ingredients:
Each Vegetable Capsule Contains:
Chlorella pyrenoidosa            500 mg
