What Is Chlorella Growth Factor Powder?

Chlorella Growth Factor, referred to as CGF, is a precious substance obtained from high-quality Chlorella cells through multiple separation, concentration and extraction, and has high nutritional value. It is a unique active ingredient in Chlorella, which can promote the division and reproduction of Chlorella cells and stimulate growth, which makes no animal or plant in the world grow 4 times every 20 hours like Chlorella. CGF is rich in amino acids, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, polypeptides, proteins, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, etc. It is a water-soluble concentrate with the characteristics of being quickly absorbed by the human body. Its function is to promote the physiological metabolism in Chlorella cells, so that it can achieve the purpose of rapid growth and regeneration.

The scientific community has only discovered this growth factor in Chlorella, which plays a key role in maintaining the stability of genes in the division and reproduction of green algae cells. Among the four major seaweeds, the green algae to which Chlorella belongs is the most diverse type of seaweed and the largest phylum of algae plants, with wide application value in many fields. In recent years, CGF has attracted much attention in many fields such as food, medical care, cosmetics and feed due to its rich nutritional value and significant physiological functions.

How To Obtain Chlorella Growth Factor?

In the process of obtaining the water-soluble components in green algae, short-term warming and centrifugal force are the decisive physical steps. Only with the combination of strong physical forces can DNA and RNA be released from the dense cell nucleus of green algae.

The following is a brief introduction to the extraction of green algae essence:

1. Wash and dry fresh green algae

2. Extract the initial extract through centrifugal force and short heating

3. Continue to concentrate and extract with the help of vacuum

4. At this time, the initial product of C.G.F. is obtained, and the centrifugation process continues

5. The liquid concentrate must be warmed and dried

6. The pure C.G.F. powder is completed

7. The concentrate is tested for purity, content and harmful substances

C.G.F. is an alkaline substance composed of protein, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. In the scientific field, this extract is often called warm extract. Depending on the degree of drying, the extract is sometimes transparent or slightly turbid, and sometimes liquid, with a color and smell similar to beef broth. C.G.F. is rarely stored in liquid form, but mostly in powder form.

What Are The Functions Of Chlorella Growth Factor Powder?

Enhance immunity

The glycoprotein in CGF can improve the phagocytic ability of macrophages, promote lymphocyte transformation, increase the number of lymphocytes, and enhance the activity of natural killer cells, thereby improving the body's immunity.

Promote growth

CGF can promote cell growth, produce better quality cells, and has anti-aging effects.

Promote wound healing

CGF helps cell repair and wound healing, which is beneficial to both children and adults.

Lower blood lipids

The omega-3 fatty acids in CGF can reduce blood viscosity, improve blood circulation and cholesterol metabolism, and help lower blood pressure and blood lipids.

Antioxidant

CGF has antioxidant effects, can remove free radicals in the body, and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Promote digestive health

The active polysaccharides contained can cause the body to produce a large amount of interferon, stimulate the body's disease resistance, and have a protective effect on the digestive tract mucosa.

Anti-ultraviolet damage

CGF can inhibit the mRNA expression of transcription factor activator protein-1 and signal molecule cysteine-rich 61, reduce the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, thereby inhibiting the increase in MMP-1 expression induced by UVB and exerting its anti-aging effect.

What Effect Does Chlorella Growth Factor Have On The Skin?

Moisturizing and repairing: CGF can improve the moisture of the skin by enhancing the water retention of the skin, while stimulating the synthesis of collagen and improving skin quality. This growth factor can also reduce the DNA damage of skin cells caused by peroxy free radicals, and has a good protective effect on both young and old skin cells, which helps to repair and regenerate the skin.

Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging: CGF can protect skin fibroblasts, normalize the expression of decreased elastin and procollagen, thereby reducing skin texture and achieving anti-aging effects. This substance can also activate cells, promote the respiratory function of the skin, and help activate the collagen fibers and elastic fibers that make up the dermis, thereby producing better quality and more wrinkle-resistant cells.

Antioxidant: It contains rich antioxidant substances, such as Chlorella glycoprotein, which can effectively remove free radicals in the human body and reduce problems such as skin aging, spots and wrinkles. Maintain the health of the skin by neutralizing the oxidative properties of free radicals.

Purify the skin: It contains ingredients such as polysaccharides and proteins that can combine with PM2.5 particles in the skin to form a complex and remove them from the skin, reducing their damage to the skin. In addition, Chlorella can also weaken the heavy metal components in PM2.5 to further protect the skin.

What Fields Are Used?

Medical and health care

Due to its rich nutritional ingredients and multiple physiological functions, it has a wide range of applications in the field of medicine and health care. It can be used to make health foods, help improve the gastrointestinal tract, enhance immunity, regulate blood lipids, lower blood sugar, resist fatigue, protect the liver, remove lead, and resist oxidation. In addition, it is also used in the field of biomedicine, such as antihypertensive drugs, blood lipid-lowering drugs, diabetes drugs, chemotherapy adjuvant drugs, etc.

Food industry

CGF, as a nutritious, safe and healthy food raw material, has been widely used in various foods. It can be added to dairy foods, meat foods, baked foods, pasta foods, various beverages, candies, seasoning foods, etc. In addition, it can also be used as a functional food additive to enhance the nutritional value and market competitiveness of the product.

Cosmetics industry

CGF has broad application prospects in the field of cosmetics due to its antioxidant and anti-aging properties. At present, some cosmetics brands have used CGF as a core ingredient and launched a series of high-end skin care products. In the future, as consumers' requirements for the safety and efficacy of cosmetics continue to increase, the application of CGF in the field of cosmetics will be more extensive.
