And that\u2019s because chlorella has been linked to a variety of potential health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorella is an immune booster, detoxifier, gastrointestinal aid and more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, today I want to talk to you about how chlorella can help your dog stay healthy \u2026 and how to add it to your dog\u2019s diet. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Helps Your Dog Detoxify Toxins<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorella is a potent detoxifier that binds to toxins and removes them from your dog\u2019s body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every day your dog is exposed to toxins, including \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heavy metals from vaccinations, processed food, pest preventatives and pollution&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dioxins found in the air, fish and dairy products&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Neurotoxins in water, food and pest preventatives&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Radioactive particles from radiation treatments and in the environment&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many studies that demonstrate chlorella\u2019s detoxifying effects.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">one study<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, researchers looked at the effects of chlorella on blood lead levels. It reduced toxicity by 66.03% when supplemented during exposure. Other studies looked at chlorella\u2019s effect on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cadmium<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mercury<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In both studies, chlorella helped reduce the amount of heavy metals stored in the body.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2001 researchers extracted chlorophyll (plant pigment) from chlorella. The chlorophyll effectively stopped the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">absorption of dioxins \u2026 and increased their removal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. And in 2016, researchers successfully used chlorella as a detoxifier for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">radioactive strontium<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Stabilizes Free Radicals To Help Prevent Chronic Disease&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorella is full of powerful antioxidants that help repair unstable cells called free radicals. Without antioxidants, the free radicals in your dog\u2019s body can run rampant and begin attacking healthy cells. This will lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, which can cause \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Premature aging&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alzheimer\u2019s disease&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arthritis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allergies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heart disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Autoimmune disorders&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And this is only the start. Oxidative stress and inflammation are linked to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">more than 200 diseases<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, researchers tested chlorella on rabbits to see if it could reduce oxidation and the buildup of free radicals. The study was successful \u2026 and researchers recommended&nbsp; chlorella as a supplement to keep free radicals in check.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">another study<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, cells affected by oxidative stress were better able to repair themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Helps Boost The Immune System&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorella contains a powerful compound called CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor). CGF contains nucleic acids in the form of RNA and DNA ,which support cellar regeneration. When your dog eats food rich in nucleic acids it helps protect your dog\u2019s RNA and DNA. This protects his cells so that they\u2019re better able to fight off disease and illness.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In one study, CHF improved the humoral immune response, which is responsible for producing antibodies. Antibodies help remove unwanted pathogens from your dog\u2019s body. In another study, chlorella increased the number of interferons and enhanced natural killer cells. Both of these are integral to your dog\u2019s ability to keep viruses and bacteria at bay.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Dr. Clarence Hardin, DVM \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe quantity of nucleic acid in the body decreases with age, a decline associated with the aging process and weakened immunity\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hardin recommends chlorella for long-term use to slow down the aging process and boost health in older dogs<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Improves Digestive Health&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lots of people are familiar with probiotics \u2026 beneficial bacteria that improve his gut health. To improve the effectiveness of these probiotics, it\u2019s best to take them alongside prebiotics.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prebiotics are indigestible fiber that feeds the bacteria in your dog\u2019s colon. In return, the bacteria secrete beneficial metabolites that help keep your dog healthy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorella is a prebiotic that feeds these bacteria so they can restore and maintain a healthy gut. And according to one study, it can help increase the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">growth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">survival rates<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of probiotics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> How to stop your dog\u2019s diarrhea naturally \u2026<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. Gets Rid Of Bad Breath&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mentioned earlier that chlorella contains antioxidants \u2026 and one of these antioxidants is chlorophyll.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorophyll is a plant pigment that makes most plants and algae green. There are a number of reasons to feed your dog foods rich in chlorophyll. It helps \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Detox the body<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boost the immune system&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Help with proper digestion&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Breaks down calcium oxalate&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another unique benefit is that the chlorophyll in chlorella can also help eliminate your dog\u2019s bad breath.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to veterinarian <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr Liz Hanson<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOne of the most important ways that our pets benefit from chlorophyll is that it both treats and prevents bad breath from the inside out. It also improves digestion, which is the most likely cause of bad breath, even in dogs with healthy teeth and gums.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How To Add Chlorella To Your Dog\u2019s Diet&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As quality can vary among brands of chlorella, make sure to do your research. Low quality chlorella may accumulate toxins and counteract the benefits of the detoxifying algae.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also different species of chlorella. If you can, try and find a product that uses <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorella pyrenoidosa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2026 it contains more nutrients and more CGF than other species.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have your chlorella powder, you can mix it directly into your dog\u2019s food. As with any new supplement, start with a smaller amount to see how your dog tolerates it. You will want to work up to 50 mg per 25 lbs of body weight once or twice daily.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your dog needs an immune boost, you can double the dosage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chlorella may be small but it can be powerful \u2026 especially as a regular addition to your dog\u2019s diet.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chlorella is a single-celled, freshwater green microalga that is getting a whole lot of attention from researchers.
