HISTORY OF CHLORELLA
Chlorella is a single-cell fresh water algae that existed even before mankind. It was discovered in 1890 by a Dutch microbiologist, Martinus Beijernick. Being about the same in size as a human red blood cell, Chlorella has an inherent strength of life through its unchanging genetic structure with its high nutritions contents and its astonishing growth rate.
NUTRITIVE CONTENT
4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella is a storehouse of rich nutrients - chlorophyll, CGF, vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates.
It has over 60% protein with essential amino acids, and provides vitamin A, Beta-carotene, vitamins B, C, E and K. Its minerals include calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and trace amounts of manganese, iodine and zinc.

The following figures show lutein content:
4Spectrum™ Chlorella Powder ............. 503mg/100g
Spinach ............................................. 10.2mg/100g
Cooked spinach ................................ 7.4mg/100g
Cabbage ........................................ 14.5mg/100g
Broccoli .............................................. 1.9mg/100g
Carrot ................................................ 0.26mg/100g
(Note) 4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella contains lutein 50 times as much as spinach.
C.G.F. (Chlorella Growth Factor)
C.G.F. is obtained by hydrothermally extracting premium quality chlorella, and found richly in nucleic acids of RNA/DNA.

Its vital functions have been reported** such as immunity enhancement, inhibition of cancer cell growth, holddown of virus increment, protection of hypertension, improvement of hepatic function, lowering blood sugar levels, cell renewal and many physiological functions.

4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella contains chlorella extract (=hot water soluble matter; C.G.F.) in the range of as high as 20 to 30%, and its C.G.F. stays stable and unaltered by the addition of an acid and heat.
DIGESTIBILITY
4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella has a digestibility rate** as high as more than 80%, being processed with its exclusive 3-step procedures to break the cell walls, resulting in maximum absorption of the ingredients.
** Digestibility of chlorella protein by small animal assay procedures
1. Steaming under pressure for sterilization, cell dilation and cracks.
2. Heated air applied within the Spray Dryer for further cell wall cracks.
3. Jet Spray system for smashing at high impact velocity.
 NO AGRICHEMICALS

No agrichemicals nor pesticides are detected in 4Spectrumｪ Premium Chlorella as shown in JFRL's Analysis Certificate*.

Chlorella Production Process

Yaeyama Chlorella Cultivation Method (Patent No.3277372) was registered for patent by the Japan Patent Office on February 15, 2002.
Yaeyama Factory has developed and established their manufacturing technologies to let their outdoor sunray cultivation system boost up the contents of photosynthetic pigment (= Chlorophyll, carotenoid etc.) in the higher grade of their Chlorella products throughout the year. Chlorophyll works to exhaust dioxin out of the body, and carotenoids like beta-carotene, lutein, etc. function as a antioxidant to combat surplus super oxides.
Chlorophyll ....... 4,000 - 5,000mg/100g
Vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids) ............85,000 to 100,000 IU**/100g
** 1 IU = 0.3 ÄÊg; 1,000 ÄÊg = 1mg

4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella can be recommended to those who..........
want to be in a daily healthy life.
want to maintain vigor and beauty.
are liable to eat less fresh vegetables than needed.
are having a habit of taking irregular meals.
tend to take unbalanced diet.

Daily Dosage:
4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella tablets:-
Take 10 to 40 tablets (=2.0 g to 8.0 g), in case of 200mg tablets, in water or other drinks.
(In case of 500mg tablets, you can take 4 to 16 tablets.)

4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella powder:-
Take one or two spoonful of chlorella powder into water, milk or yogurt and stir well.
(one spoonful = 2.0g to 3.0g)

Giant outdoor pools in Japan where 4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella is grown.

The Yaeyama factory in the Ishigaki Island has the biggest production site of over 99,000 square meters in Japan
with monthly production capacity of 35 tons.

1. 4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella and Taiwan-made Chlorella (A) and (B) are all cultivated outdoors.
Some contaminants (bacteria, other alga) are found in powdered Taiwn-made chlorella (A) and (B), which discloses that there are some problems in their control inspection and insufficient washing of chlorella algae.
2. Mineral foreign objects observed in Taiwan-made Chlorella (A) are very small lithoid matter or brown particles.
3. Filamentous foreign objects observed in Taiwan-made Chlorella (B) are supposedly generated in its drying process.
4. These foreign substances can be observed on the surface of tabletized Taiwan-made chlorella, though most of them are buried inside and cannot be seen from outside.

FINDINGS:
4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella is cultivated outdoors through photosynthesis under abundant sun rays, utilizing good quality ground water and fresh air. It is processed into 4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella powder, tablets and extract liquid under rigid QC and sanitation standards with no foreign object, bacteria and other algae observed. It contains richly protein, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll and chlorella extract. Particularly, higher content of chlorophyll and chlorella extract is vitally characteristic of 4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella.

It is well known that volatile basic nitrogen compounds such as ammonia and amine are usually generated by festering fish and meat.
These basic nitrogen compounds are considered to breed foul and uncomfortable odor and taste of Chlorella.
The above figures are obtained by the same method that these volatile basic nitrogen compounds are usually measured by.
As shown in the above column, 4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella gives a much lower figure in the test result than Tank Cultivated Chlorella.
Many other samples, all Tank Cultivated, show even 4-digit figures (mg) in the generation of volatile basic nitrogen.
This comparison chart tells that 4Spectrum™ Premium Chlorella smells and tastes better than the other chlorella group, Tank Cultivated.
