Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Chlorella pyrenoidosa, a freshwater microalga, has been investigated in several studies for its potential benefits in supporting patients undergoing chemotherapy, particularly in reducing the side effects associated with cancer treatments. The rationale for its use is largely based on its rich nutrient content, including chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which may help bolster immune function and reduce oxidative stress. Some small clinical trials and animal studies have suggested that supplementation with Chlorella may help to mitigate chemotherapy-induced fatigue, support immune parameters (such as white blood cell counts), and improve overall quality of life during cancer treatment. For example, a few randomized controlled trials have reported that Chlorella supplementation could reduce symptoms like fatigue and improve natural killer cell activity in cancer patients. However, the number of high-quality, large-scale human trials is limited, and the evidence remains preliminary. There is also some interest in Chlorella's potential to help protect healthy cells from chemotherapeutic toxicity due to its antioxidant properties, though this has been mainly observed in preclinical studies rather than robust human trials. In summary, while early scientific evidence exists to support the use of Chlorella pyrenoidosa in managing chemotherapy side effects, the overall quality and quantity of this evidence is modest, warranting a cautious interpretation and further research.
