improving response to flu vaccine, increasing white blood cell counts (e.g., in people with HIV infection or cancer), preventing colds, to protect the body from the effects of radiation (e.g., during cancer therapy), to protect the body from toxic metals such as lead and mercury, and to slow aging. It is also used orally to increase beneficial flora in the gastrointestinal tract in order to improve digestion, and to help treat ulcers, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and diverticulosis. Chlorella is also promoted for the prevention of stress-induced ulcers; treatment of constipation, bad breath, and hypertension; as an antioxidant; to reduce serum cholesterol; 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.

INSUFFICIENT RELIABLE EVIDENCE to RATE
Fibromyalgia. Preliminary clinical research shows subjective improvements in general symptom and pain scores in people with fibromyalgia taking chlorella tablets plus a liquid extract containing malic acid daily for two months.
Glioma. Early research suggests chlorella tablets plus chlorella liquid extract might help people with glioma better tolerate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, possibly by improving immune system function; however, there appears to be no effect on tumor progression or survival.
More evidence is needed to rate chlorella for these
