What is Chlamydomonas reinhardtii?

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii powder is a versatile and powerful product rooted in science. While it shares the superfood label with spirulina and chlorella, its distinction lies in its unparalleled role as a model organism for genetic and biological research, which is now translating into high-quality, tailored nutraceuticals and cosmetics. 

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Powder is a dried, powdered form of a single-celled, green freshwater microalga. C. reinhardtii is one of the most extensively studied algae in the world, serving as a model organism for fundamental research in photosynthesis, cell motility, and genetics.

Benefits of Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Powder

The powder is a dense source of the algae's cellular components. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii's exact profile depends on the growth conditions, but Chlamydomonas reinhardtii typically includes:

Proteins: A complete protein source containing all essential amino acids. Protein content can be very high (up to 50-60% of dry weight under ideal conditions).

Carbohydrates: Primarily starch.

Lipids: A mix of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3s. Lipid content can be boosted significantly under stress.

Chlorophyll: The green pigment essential for photosynthesis.

Carotenoids: Antioxidant pigments like lutein, beta-carotene, and astaxanthin (depending on strain and growth conditions).

Vitamins: Particularly B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12), Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.

Minerals: Iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and others absorbed from the growth medium.
