The Effect of the Aqueous suspension of Chlorella Vulgaris on functional systems in healthy people

Abstract

There is a growing interest in biologically active food additives based on natural, environmentally friendly components. One of the most promising products in this area are biological additives created using the green freshwater alga Chlorella. Due to the high content of biologically active substances in it, the possibility of its use in preventive and therapeutic purposes was being considered. Aim: The aim of the study was to study the effect of the course of taking an aqueous suspension of a living culture of chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) on the organism of healthy people. material and methods:The study involved 30 clinically healthy people, aged 17 to 66 years, 10 men and 20 women. The subjects took an aqueous suspension of live chlorella of Chlorella vulgaris strain IGF No. C-111 at a concentration of 19-34 million cells/ml, in an amount of 500 ml per day. The course of administration was 28 days. Before and after completion of the course, the following studies were carried out: anthropometry, a study of body composition, a study of physical performance (PWC170 test), a general blood test, and a biochemical blood test. Results: At the end of the course of administration, the vast majority of the subjects noted improvement in well-being. An increase in the hemodynamic efficiency of physical activity was recorded as well as increasing the immune properties of blood. No changes in lipid metabolism were observed.
