For dogs, cats and humans. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">How does Chlorella-Spirulina-Alfalfa work?<\/h2>\n<p>Three raw materials, three efficacy profiles that complement each other. Chlorella binds heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium in the intestine through its unique cell wall structure and removes them through the faeces. This binding process takes place in the intestine: chlorella prevents toxins from being absorbed into the bloodstream via the intestinal wall and at the same time increases the excretion of already metabolized metals via the bile and faeces. The Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) also stimulates cell regeneration and DNA repair.   <\/p>\n<p>Spirulina delivers the most powerful anti-inflammatory profile of the three. The blue-green pigment phycocyanin inhibits the NF-kB and COX-2 signaling pathways that drive chronic inflammation, and activates natural killer cells for broad immune support. With 60-70% protein and all essential amino acids, spirulina is also a high-quality nutrient-rich base for muscle maintenance and recovery.  <\/p>\n<p>Alfalfa has roots that reach up to 30 meters deep, tapping into minerals that most crops do not reach. It provides the broadest mineral spectrum of any plant, including vitamin K2 and chlorophyll that supports the liver via activation of phase II detoxification enzymes. <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">What does this supplement do?<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Chlorella binds heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium) in the intestine and promotes safe excretion<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Spirulina inhibits inflammation via phycocyanin and activates NK cells for immune support<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Alfalfa provides minerals, vitamin K2 and chlorophyll that are structurally lacking in kibble<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Chlorella Growth Factor supports cell regeneration and DNA repair in aging animals<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Widely applicable to environmental toxins, old age, long-term medication and mineral deficiencies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 20px;\">When do you see results?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: .88rem; color: #666; margin-bottom: 20px; font-style: italic;\">Detoxification and cell regeneration are gradual processes.
