(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 28, 2011 ) New York, NY -- Chlorella supplements may all look the same when sitting on the shelf at a health food store, but inside the bottle there are vast differences. A new report by Best Organic Supplements (BOS) finds that the nutrients in chlorella supplements can be extreme depending on how the chlorella was grown, harvested and processed.
Many consumers buy chlorella without doing further research on the company that makes the chlorella or how it was processed. BOS, in its report, states that consumers who believe that all chlorella supplements are the same would
would be shocked to learn the nutritional differences between brands.
“Chlorella, like any plant, will adapt to its environment. So, chlorella that is grown in water that is not pure, will develop certain nutritional characteristics. On the other hand, Chlorella grown in an Organic environment, and pristine waters, will develop a very different set of nutrients” states Rob Taylor, Director of Communications for Best-Organic-Supplements.Com .
Almost all natural ingredients will have different nutrients based on their environment and processing. Organic Spirulina will have a great deal more nutrients than Spirulina that was not grown organically. Resveratrol, which can come from Japanese Knotweed, will have different levels of Trans-Resveratrol depending on where it is grown.
BOS believes that consumers should know exactly what they are getting when shopping for organic supplements. On the BOS site, they provide a number of articles on how to evaluate supplements and get the most bang for your buck. The key point that BOS makes is that not all supplements are created equal. Consumers need to read between the lines and ask lots of questions to figure out which supplements have the most nutrients.
In the special report, BOS talks about resveratrol dosage and how it can vary greatly depending on the resveratrol supplement. Consumers need a much lower dose if they are taking 99% Pure Trans-Resveratrol. On the other hand, if you take a 50% Trans-Resveratrol supplement, you will need to take a much greater dosage each day.
Taylor concludes, “When it comes to shopping for supplements, it is clearly a case of buyer beware. Even in the field of organic supplements, there can still be large differences on how the supplements are processed. Even an organic ingredient will lose its nutritional properties if you expose it to high heat when making the supplement. Consumers should look for organic supplements that use freeze dried powders. Chlorella is a wonderful ingredient, but it needs to be processed correctly to provide any benefits.”
