What is the origin of this Chlorella?

I asked "Hard Rhino" the distributor "What is the origin of your Chlorella broken cell wall powder? Where is it harvested?" Their reply (this is exact cut & paste) quote from Paul at Hard Rhino: "Our Chlorella Broken Cell is grown and harvested in Korea. It uses a closed pure sterilized tank method of growing the Chlorella which prevents contamination from exposure to the air, traditional methods used open-tank (outdoors) method of growing."

I don't know the origin. I've used it for awhile & I like it. The taste is mild & it's an effective detoxifier.

As I understand it, Japan first developed the process of making the powdered form of cracked-cell algae, which is readily absorbed by our bodies. Most sellers get it from Japan due to their consistent high quality. Hope that helps.

"Located in New port area in Shanghai, our Chinese partner's quality control unit is a 100,000 SQ FT building combined with warehouse, office and in-house lab. Most of our competitors have one to two overseas purchasing agents. Our agents have 10 people in the Shanghai office who handle purchasing, quality control and shipping. Each employee holds a bachelors degree and half of them hold a masters degree in chemical or food science. With these professional associates, all our supply manufacturers are audited on site with superior product quality controls." - HardRhino.com, Quality Control This is a review I copied from amazon on this product. Seems it is from China which may not be the best thing. Hope this helps. J. Stokes

I actually switched to another company called hard rhino or something like that. This chlorella put about ten pounds on me in a months time....

I don't know - I would suggest checking with the manufacturer who I think is also the seller on amazon. You can also find their website online and email them directly. I use chlorella with my asperger's daughter as a natural chelation supplement. She seems to tolerate this brand really well and we just dumped the bag into her old chlorella bottle that we washed and dried from our N.D. They seem to be ok.

The package does not state where the chlorella is from, just that it is distributed exclusively by BulkSupplements in Henderson NV

Hi - it comes from a salt water lagoon on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The salt is processed organically by hand and solar evaporation. Does that answer your question?

The package does not have an expiration date. It has a manufacturing date of 06-09-14. The package recommends refrigeration after opening. I have not done that. The chlorella does not show any indication of deterioration.

What little I found out from digging around is all organic spirulina comes from India. Take this with a grain of salt because that info came from a website that claims to sell to companies that sell us organic. The best organic I ever had came from hawaii and is now owned by another company that no longer grows organic also the color of there spirulina has changed to a more dull green as before was a deep blue green that had almost a liquid look.The Pure Synergy company claims to grow there own in the USA.Good luck on finding the actual truth and let me know if u find something that is actually USA grown.Good luck Mindi What little I found out from digging around is all organic spirulina comes from India.

Yes. Chlorella is a one cell algae. To reproduce a plant artificially you need two reproduction cells like male and female. Forgive my lack of better explanation.

I believe algae is the type of organizm, possibly related to kelp. I found more at: &lt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae&gt;

On the back it says " Derived from microalgae grown in a closed-culture USA manufacturing facility using drinkable water. Clean, safe, and free from ocean-borne contaminants."

I don't know. But I think Bulk Supplements is the exclusive distributer of this particular brand of chlorella.

Contacted Swanson Healthy Products, their source of Spirulina is from India and is certified organic through MCIA.

as far as I can tell from using spirulina before it is from China as it is very dark. California product is a very light green. As far as the testing I can't be sure. Something the company would have to answer.

Haven't been able to find source. Label says cracked cell. Have switched to a different company which offers an organic cracked cell chlorella.
