A growth factor in health and nutrition refers to a substance that builds the immune system. Chlorella has the ability to quadruple in quantity every 20 hours, which no other plant on Earth can do. It is programmed into its DNA to do so and it is the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) that is responsible for this ability. CGF works synergistically and is far more than just the sum of its individual parts. CGF is the healthiest substance known because it is the most powerful component of the most potent food in the world, comprising approximately 3% of the Chlorella cell. CGF is 100% water soluble, which makes it bio-available or easily absorbed by the body.
CGF is made up of many valuable nutritional substances, some of which are not found in any other foods. They are amino acids, amino peptides, water-soluble proteins, binding proteins, glycoprotein, the vitamin B-complex and other vitamins, minerals, glutathione resembling substances, RNA/DNA, immune polysaccharides, phytohormones, natural growth factors.
