Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF)

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF)

is considered to be the most valuable component in chlorella (chlorella contains just 3 - 5% CGF). Each cell of chlorella - a green freshwater alga - divides itself into four every 20 to 24 hours. Experts believe it's the CGF in chlorella, which is produced during photosynthesis, that allows it to grow so incredibly quickly. The following are the key health benefits:

● Slow down the aging process
● Stimulate tissue repair and recovery
● Promote healthy growth in children
● Help boost the immune system

CGF is bursting with powerful substances, the most significant being nucleic acid derivatives (RNA and DNA). Many experts believe that our own RNA/DNA production slows down as we age, leading to lower energy levels and many of the signs of premature ageing, including weakened immunity.

CGF is believed to contain the highest level of nucleic acids found in any food source, with a growing number of scientists believing that taking it on a regular basis may help repair damaged tissue and cells and boost vitality. It's even thought to help stimulate the body's own production of RNA/DNA. And it's completely side effect free.

Chlorella Growth Factor

Chlorella provides a wide array of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, as well as being the highest-known source of chlorophyll. While these are all beneficial, the greatest value of chlorella lies in a fascinating ingredient called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF).

CGF is a nucleotide-peptide complex derived from a warm water extract of chlorella. It is made mostly of nucleic acid derivatives. Researchers have discovered that CGF is produced during the intense photosynthesis that enables chlorella to grow so fast. Each cell multiplies into four new cells about every 20 hours, and CGF promotes this rapid rate of reproduction.

Experiments with microorganisms, animals and children have shown that CGF promotes faster than normal growth without adverse side effects, and in adults, it appears to enhance RNA/DNA functions responsible for production of proteins, enzymes and energy at the cellular level, stimulating tissue repair and protecting cells against some toxic substances.

Dr. Benjamin Frank, author of The No-Aging Diet, suggests that human RNA/DNA production slows down progressively as people age, resulting in lower levels of vitality and increased vulnerability to various diseases. Before chlorella was known to be a remarkable source of nucleic acids, Dr. Frank recommended a diet rich in nucleic acids to counter this "aging" process.

Dr. Minchinori Kimura of Japan found levels of 10% RNA and 3% DNA in chlorella, which would make chlorella the highest known food substance in nucleic acids. Used regularly, chlorella would assist in the repair of damaged genetic material in human cells, protecting health and slowing down the aging process.

Nucleic acids in digestion and assimilation are broken down and combined with other nutrients such as vitamin B-12, peptides and polysaccharides. That means that the DNA and RNA we eat do not directly replace human cellular DNA and RNA, but their amino acid combinations after digestion and assimilation immediately provide the "building blocks" for repair of our genetic material.

As people age, cell processes slow down. The cell wall, which regulates fluids, intake of nutrients and expulsion of wastes, becomes less functional. Nutrient intake is less efficient and more toxic wastes remain in the cells. This leads to an increasing acidic condition in the body that favors many kinds of chronic and degenerative diseases. When we have a sufficient intake of foods rich in DNA and RNA to protect our own cellular nucleic acids, the cell wall continues to function efficiently, keeping the cell clean and well nourished.

When our RNA and DNA are in good repair and able to function most efficiently, our bodies are able to use nutrients more effectively, get rid of toxins and avoid disease. Cells are able to repair themselves and the energy level and vitality of the whole body is raised.
