Chlorella is a genus of about thirteen species of single-celled or colonial green algae of the division Chlorophyta. The cells are spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 μm in diameter, and are without flagella. Their chloroplasts contain the green photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll-a and -b. In ideal conditions cells of Chlorella multiply rapidly, requiring only carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and a small amount of minerals to reproduce.

Spirulina, Chlorella, and similar algae supplements can be contaminated with toxins from cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that damage the liver, nervous system, kidneys, and other organs. Researchers warn that current testing and regulation aren't keeping pace with how widely these supplements are used.
