The biochemistry per ingredient
chlorella
Chlorella is a single-celled green alga, rich in chlorophyll, proteins, and carotenoids.. The algae have a tough cell wall. Algae can absorb metals and other substances from the water, which is why quality control is important.
Spirulina
Spirulina is often called an alga, but it is a blue-green bacterium. It contains a lot of protein and the blue pigment C-phycocyanin, which is being studied as an antioxidant.
alfalfa
Alfalfa is a leguminous plant containing proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The plant also contains phytoestrogens, plant substances that are structurally similar to estrogen.
How strong is this evidence? The composition of these ingredients is well-documented. Research into their effects has mainly been conducted on laboratory animals and humans. Less research has been done on dogs and cats.

What should you look out for with algae?
