Best Answer

Chlorella has been shown to reduce the side effects of radiation therapy. Early research suggests chlorella tablets plus chlorella liquid extract might help people with a type of brain cancer called glioma better tolerate chemotherapy and radiation treatments, possibly by boosting the immune system. Unfortunately, chlorella doesn't seem to slow the progression of the cancer or improve survival.

Some people also use chlorella for the prevention of stress-related ulcers; treatment of constipation, bad breath, and hypertension; as an antioxidant; to reducecholesterol; to increase energy; to detoxify the body; and as a source of magnesium to promote mental health, relieve premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and reduce Asthma attacks. It is also used for fibromyalgia.

NOTE:

  • Medications that decrease the immune system (Immunosuppressants) interacts with CHLORELLA

    Chlorella might increase the immune system. By increasing the immune system, chlorella might decrease the effectiveness of medications that are used to decrease the immune system.

    Some medications that decrease the immune system include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), corticosteroids (glucocorticoids), and others.

  • Warfarin (Coumadin) interacts with CHLORELLA

    Chlorella contains large amounts of vitamin K. Vitamin K is used by the body to help blood clot. Warfarin (Coumadin) is used to slow blood clotting. By helping the blood clot, chlorella might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin (Coumadin). Be sure to have your blood checked regularly. The dose of your warfarin (Coumadin) might need to be changed.
