Hello. I was able to contact Now Foods directly with this question and was told that Spirulina is not cracked cell that process is only needed for chlorella, not Spirulina. Hope this helps.

This is one of the purest you can get. They may use a small amount of something non-toxic as binder if you get the tablets, but it is low enough that is isn't even listed. If you want it without even a bit of binder, get the powder. I have used this chlorella for years. I was extremely anemic after years of bleeding. Drs got nowhere. I restarted my chlorella, and was out of anemia in record time. It is the only chlorella I use. After Fukushima, one has to be very careful. I know they run tests on everything.

Supplement Facts on pkg. -- PER 15 TABLETS calories:11.8kcal...protein:1.9g...carbs.:0.6g...fat:0.2g...sodium:3.5mg...vit.c:0.4mg...vit.b12:5.0ug...iron:2.6mg...zinc:1.1mg...chlorophyll:58.5mg....organic chlorella:1.5g...organic spirulina:1.5g...I would add that since starting this brand I've read an online article stating that it is not good to take spirulina or chlorella packaged in foil which is what this is. Am currently looking for another brand in amber glass..."Health Force Nutritionals" is a possibility.

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

Chlorella Manna from Healthforce is grown in Indoor tanks in South Korea. Fact.

They are actually a very dark green. Almost black, but not black. If you crush one you can see both blue-green colors combined. I have never seen chlorella tablets that are black.

Chlorella is a whole super food pack with vital nutrients; the vitamins in this product are natural and it doesn't contain any added vitamin A. Here's more info http://www.integratedhealth.com/hpdspec/chlorella.html

I have not used this particular brand, but if it says Liquid Chlorophyll...it likely contains chlorophyll. Do yourself a favor: get a MINT-FLAVORED liquid chlorophyll. The mint offers a pleasant, refreshing taste. Without the mint, I found the flavor to be unappealing.

No. The container said It's Distributer is from right here in the U.S. Swanson Health Products. "Packaged by Valentine Enterprises, Lawrenceville, GA 30043" However, where they get the chlorella from, might be another story. Here's their website: www.swansonvitamins.com. check them out, see if you can get an answer. Blessings.

That I don't know. And because they fail to provide information I don't buy this brand anymore. Only bought it one time anyway. But I found another source that I do trust. http://store.naturalnews.com/Chlorella_c_51.html

It says on the bottle that the capsules are gelatin. That doesn't worry me but if you can't have it-I'm not sure what type of capsules you could use? This is the best chlorella that we have found and we buy it every month. Hope this answers your question.

Most supplements and pharmaceuticals have a 2-yr shelf-life and I have no reason to suspect it to be different for Chlorella. I myself would rather use up an expired product than throw it away and I have never knowingly suffered any harm from that, though my nurse-wife is horrified that I, an MD, would do that! God bless you.

The package says the product is Spirulina Platensis. The Pubmed data base has a journal article entitled, "A simple method for extracting C-phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis using Klebsiella pneumoniae." If you read further there are articles on the benefits of C-phycocyanin also on Pubmed. I'm mentioning Pubmed since these articles have the reputation of being from reliable refereed sources. Since the title mentions "extraction" I am assuming that means that Phycocyanin is already there. The abstract is at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17013600 . There are also numerous other Pubmed abstracts that discuss the "Phycocyanin from Spirulina Platensis." I am not a biochemist so the most I can say for certainty that this is Spirulina Platensis. I hope this helps.

Can't say - consider Chlorella powder and Spirulina powder as superior substutute
