Kiki Health: The Organic and Natural Supplement Revolution
Kiki Health has become a go-to name in the world of organic and natural supplements. This innovative British brand offers nutritional supplements made from whole ingredients, or...
These are two complementary microalgae with distinct nutritional profiles. Spirulina (a cyanobacterium) is the champion of proteins (60–70%), iron, and anti-inflammatory phycocyanin. Chlorella (a true green algae) stands out for its unique Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), its chlorophyll content (the highest of any food), and its ability to bind heavy metals and toxins via its unique cell wall. For detox, choose Chlorella. For protein and energy, choose Spirulina. For a complete effect, combine both.
This is its most well-documented property. The cell wall of Chlorella (only in broken/cracked cell wall powder — otherwise it is not digestible) is rich in mucopolysaccharides and fibres that chemically bind certain heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium) in the digestive tract, reducing their absorption or facilitating faecal elimination. Clinical studies published in Environmental Toxicology (2009) and Japanese literature demonstrate effects on methylmercury retention.
Chlorella's cell wall is extremely hard (cellulose) and indigestible for humans — if it is not broken, the active compounds remain trapped inside and are not absorbed. Kiki Health uses broken cell wall Chlorella, obtained through mechanical pressure at low temperature. This is the minimum quality standard for any Chlorella-based product — always check for this mention on the label.
Start with 1 to 2 grams per day (½ to 1 teaspoon) and gradually increase over 2 to 3 weeks to allow your body to adapt to the detoxifying effect. Introducing it too quickly can cause digestive issues (diarrhoea, bloating) related to toxin mobilisation. The effective dose is generally 3 to 5 grams per day. Add it to green smoothies, juices, or lattes with plant milk and a squeeze of lemon.
This is a traditional use often mentioned in detox protocols by functional medicine practitioners. The rationale is that Chlorella binds mercury in the digestive tract. Some professionals occasionally recommend Chlorella during amalgam removal phases to limit reabsorption of released mercury. Human research on this specific point is limited — consult your holistic dentist or functional medicine physician for a personalised protocol.
Yes, it holds EU Organic certification. Chlorella is cultivated in controlled freshwater tanks and tested for the absence of heavy metals, cyanotoxins, and pathogenic microorganisms. Unlike spirulina (a cyanobacterium) which can produce toxins under certain conditions, Chlorella (a eukaryotic algae) is considered microbiologically more stable.
Chlorella is rich in vitamin K — people on anticoagulant therapy (warfarin) should consult their doctor (risk of interference with the anticoagulant effect). It may cause mild photosensitisation due to concentrated chlorophyll. People allergic to algae should exercise caution. It is not recommended during pregnancy at high doses.
