Ask the expert: algae, can it fight our modern challenges or is toxic itself? We look for answers..

The Journey

We talk to one of the leading experts on Algae Catherine Arnston on all things Algae and specifically Chlorella and Spirulina. Catherine drills down into thousands of pieces of research (which she has spent ten years of her life wading through) to give us the ‘need to know’ on a subject that has become rife with misinformation. We look at what algae is, the difference between Chlorella and Spirulina, why it has been added to the list of crops backed by the United States (as early as this year), its similarity to breast milk (yep!) plus the recent controversy around claims made that Spirulina is neurotoxic. And lots more!
