Chlorella Growth Factor: the mysterious extract that nobody can fully characterize
from NutraSift: The nutraceutical innovation podcast · host Siftlink SA
CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor) is a proprietary term for a hot-water extract of chlorella containing nucleotide-peptide complexes that accelerate cell division. It was discovered in the 1950s when researchers noticed chlorella quadrupled every 20 hours, faster than any other green plant. The exact composition of CGF has never been fully characterized despite 70 years of commercial use.Publications of interest:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7522799/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4908087/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31739107/
