Synopsis

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

Chlorella pyrenoidosa has a long history of use, particularly in East Asian traditional medicine, as a general health supplement and as nutritional support during periods of convalescence (recovery after illness). This microalga is valued for its rich content of protein, vitamins (notably B12), minerals, and chlorophyll, which have led to its promotion as a tonic for restoring strength and vitality. Several traditional sources and older holistic health literature recommend Chlorella supplementation to support recovery due to its purported ability to aid tissue repair, boost the immune system, and provide essential nutrients that may be depleted during illness.

However, scientific validation for Chlorella's use specifically during convalescence is limited. While some small clinical trials and animal studies suggest that Chlorella may enhance immune parameters, promote antioxidant activity, or improve nutritional status, these studies are generally not focused on convalescent populations. Most evidence remains anecdotal or based on its general nutritional value. There is insufficient high-quality, targeted clinical research to firmly support Chlorella pyrenoidosa as an evidence-based intervention for convalescence. Thus, its use for this purpose is best categorized as traditional, with low to moderate supporting evidence.
