Sporopollenin

In vitro / Animal

Biopolymer (carotenoid polymer, cell wall component)

Mechanism of Action

Extremely chemically resistant biomolecule that adsorbs heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic) and organic toxins (pesticides, dioxins) in the gastrointestinal tract through physical and chemical binding, preventing systemic absorption

Research Notes

ChlorellaWestern

Sporopollenin in chlorella's cell wall has demonstrated remarkable heavy metal binding capacity in both in vitro and animal studies. Clinical studies in populations with environmental metal exposure show increased fecal and urinary excretion of mercury and lead with chlorella supplementation. The cracked-cell wall process exposes sporopollenin fragments while maintaining binding activity.
