Could Improve Blood Sugar Levels

According to certain studies, chlorella may help reduce blood sugar levels. In one trial, ingesting chlorella for 12 weeks reduced fasting blood sugar levels in both healthy people and those at high risk of lifestyle-related illnesses. Other research has found that using chlorella supplements improves blood sugar control and increases insulin sensitivity in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. There isn't enough evidence to recommend chlorella for blood sugar management, but it may aid when paired with other treatments.

Chlorella supplements may aid in the promotion of heart and kidney health, both of which are required for appropriate blood pressure. People with mildly elevated blood pressure were given four grams of chlorella daily for 12 weeks in one trial. By the end, these people had lower blood pressure readings than the placebo group. Another small study in healthy men found that consuming chlorella supplements was associated with less artery stiffness, which influences blood pressure. One notion is that some chlorella components, such as arginine, potassium, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids, help protect arteries from hardening.
