Can a person eat any strain of algae and get some nutrition or is there something special about Chlorella?
There are over 70,000 species of algae. Some are highly nutritious, others are extremely toxic. Watershed Chlorella is a very specific strain of algae known as Chlorella Pyrensoida. The only other algae we recommend is Spirulina Pacific, which the Watershed also sells. While there are other consumable algae such as Duniella, a blue-green algae, none approach the nutriceutical properties of Chlorella and Spirulina.
