Production / Cultivation Notes

Chlorella vulgaris does not grow quickly in open tanks, and cultivation in open systems carries the risk of contamination from foreign organisms. For this reason, production is carried out exclusively in closed culture systems, which enable controlled and contamination-free growth of pure Chlorella algae. This approach ensures consistent product quality and prevents microbial or environmental contamination throughout the cultivation process.
