High Quality Chlorella & Flawless Overseas Transaction

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

I recently purchased large amounts of chlorella powder from you all, and it arrived in the US, flawlessly. It was a great experience. I was initially concerned, getting something from overseas--and not knowing what to expect, but it ended up being a breeze. The package was on my doorstep (in US) within about a week of ordering it.

So many "other" companies here (in the US) sell cheap China chlorella, or poorly packaged chlorella that is oxidized, light green and clumpy, (by the time it gets to the consumer). I even asked a few resellers locally, if they put oxygen scavengers in their product packaging, and they thought i was crazy.

So glad that you guys work with Taiwan Chlorella Manufacturing Company (TCMC) to provide such high quality chlorella. As someone who has consumed chlorella for 20 years, I know that Taiwan chlorella (pyrenoidosa) is the best strain, superior to vulgaris.

I noticed the quality difference (immediately) after opening the pouch (the smell of fresh grass) and the taste of strong, earthy grass (high chlorophyll content).

And thank you for having heavy metals and bacteria certifications/analysis available on your website, it also gives the consumer peace of mind.

I will be a customer (for life) with you guys. And will recommend you to those who prefer high quality supplements/green foods.

Thanks so much.

I'm very impressed with this company

I'm very impressed with this company. The Kamut juice powder is delicious and great value and I'm having very clean bowel movements. My husband and I are also taking just under 1 gram of whole foods Spermidine daily, and this is also a quality supplement, very easy to swallow with a bit of water, without any aftertaste. Thank you for providing these excellent supplements, and I will remain a lifetime customer.

Credible supplements supplier (unlike some)

In the supplements field there are many suspect sources and suppliers, so products can contain toxins and contaminants such as heavy metals. I've spent a fair bit of time looking into these, and Plantpills certainly seems to have by far the most thorough scientific documentation behind it, at least among UK suppliers.

World's best

My diet is primarily raw fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, sprouts and seeds, and I supplement with spirulina and chlorella from plantpills. I was excited when they added wheatgrass juice powder to their range, as their other products are of the highest quality.

I started off growing wheatgrass in trays and harvesting enough to juice each day, but although its very healthy, it became a drain on me. After harvesting, juicing, cleaning the equipment, re-sewing, watering, etc. on a daily basis, it took about an hour out of my day, which on balance I decided wasn't worth it.

I then tried wheat grass powder (not the juice) which was disgusting and I realised it had to be juice powder not just powder. So I tried a juice powder version but it tasted weak like it was somehow watered down, and had a metallic aftertaste.
It didn't smell good and fresh or look deep green so I threw it out.

Then I tried purchasing frozen wheatgrass juice. It was frustrating as it took about an hour to defrost at room temperature, and by then it had been sitting out a bit too long. It tasted ok, and the colour was right, but it took up too much space in the freezer and I'd often forget I had it defrosting. The freezing process took something away from it too. Its difficult to explain but it lost that kick, was flat and tasted a bit weaker than I was expecting.

I stopped having wheat grass juice for several years when I noticed plantpills had it available, so I gave it a go. It arrived two weeks ago and I wanted to write a review because this is something very special. After mixing into water, the colour is right, its rich, has the kick, and I don't know how they do it but it tastes fresh! It tasteseven more rich than when I was juicing myself. It must be because this is grown in fields outside for months rather than my trays inside for 7 days.
All the tests plantpills do for it are reassuring too. No nasties, nutritious and safe. Well done plantpills and thank you for the best wheatgrass juice anywhere!

Top quality at fair prices

I’ve been purchasing chlorella and spirulina from these guys for 5 years now, the latest box arrived on Friday. They are a staple in my diet as I’ve never been interested in eating vegetables every day.

These tablets give me the nutrients I’m missing, and I’m fit and healthy no doubt the chlorella and spirulina playing a big part.

I buy in bulk for me and my friend as it works out much cheaper. Plant Pills quality has stayed top notch over the years, and their packaging is crazy good. I had a bag of chlorella fall down the back of the drawers the builder found when changing the kitchen over. It was nearly a year past the use-by date, and was as good as new when opened.

The NMN powder is obviously mixed with…

The NMN powder is obviously mixed with a bulking powder, having had high purity NMN from another supplier and then moved to this supplier as a far better price point, feel have wasted my money. There is some NMN in this but who wants all the filler. You get what you pay for folks, such a shame as why bother going to trouble of testing your product only to bulk it out to make a cheap buck.

Reply from Plantpills

None of our products are ever "bulked", "mixed" or "cut". In fact, we go to great lengths to ensure that all our products, even our tablets, never have any excipients, binders or fillers.
What the reviewer may be commenting on is the texture or density of our NMN being different to others they have tried. Specifically that it is bulkier, which may refer to the bulk density. Bulk density can vary from lab to lab, and even slightly from batch to batch.

The bulk density of our NMN is relatively low, as seen in the photograph of our measuring spoons on scales about half way down the page here:
https://wiki.plantpills.co.uk/plantpills-launch-nmn-and-resveratrol-powders-in-the-uk/

On the photograph, our 0.5ml spoon measures 125mg of our NMN powder, and the same 0.5ml spoon measures 250mg of our trans-resveratrol powder, double the weight for roughly the same volume.
So our NMN occupies approximately twice the volume that our resveratrol does when the weight is equal.

If one was expecting the density of the powder to be similar to that of resveratrol, the NMN would seem to have more volume than expected. However, it is perfectly normal for our NMN to have this bulk density, and the raw material certainly hasn't been tampered with in any way.

Our NMN is independently verified to be amongst the highest quality in the world.

The NMN in question was from batch TV-AA-01. The third party laboratory certifications for this batch and every batch are published on the site. These are performed to verify that this batch of NMN is incredibly pure, and absent of any dangerous heavy metals or bacteria:
https://www.plantpills.co.uk/nmn#why-plantpills-nmn
For reference, all of our testing for all of our products can be found here:
https://www.plantpills.com/certifications/

The third party laboratory test report for purity and heavy metals for the TV-AA-01 batch is dated as 13th February 2020, and shows the HPLC Nicotinamide Mononucleotide purity test as 99.4%.
Heavy metals are tested by ICP, and show Lead (Pb) as 0.082 ppm, Arsenic (As) as not detected, Cadmium (Cd) as 0.001 ppm, and Mercury (Hg) as 0.001 ppm.

The Microbial Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for this batch is dated as 6th February 2020, and shows the total plate count (TPC - intended to indicate the level of microorganism in a product) as not detected at a detectable minimum of 10 cfu/gm (colony forming units per gram). Yeast, Mold and Coliforms are also not detected, and E. coli, pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and shigella are all confirmed as absent.

To address the other point of our prices being low, we have close working relationships with growers, manufacturers and laboratories, some of whom now exclusively deal with us, and we're UK distributors for two of the largest, oldest and highest quality algae growers in the world.

We are incredibly efficient and deal in significant bulk amounts, enabling us to proudly offer products among the highest quality in the world at very competitive prices.

NMN made in ???

I ordered 100 gr of NMN from them. They have a professional and quick customer service and on their webpage they publish all test results of the batches they have tested. So far I would give them the highest ratings. However, they are not producers but retailers and, while they are very open and transparent about the source and producers of their other products, they keep it a secret where and by whom the NMN they sell is made. I have contacted them twice and asked where it was made and the name of the lab to see if they produce according to certain standards. The did not answer that but told me it would have been made in the UK. I read in other forums that others also tried to get more information but with the same result. I assume that it is made in China. That doesn't mean necessarily that it is not pure NMN but for that price I expect more transparency and a product made by a lab that produces according to western standards. After all, even if a given batch is tested it doesn't mean that what you get comes from this batch. That's why I only rate the company average.

After taking the NMN for more than 4 months now, I update my rating and give one star more. It is still NMN from an unknown source but according to my experience it is pure and does its job. Might order again...

Excellent Company

Just received my first delivery of Resveratrol. As this can be degraded by exposure to light I am very impressed with the packaging. The pouch has to be stored in a secondary pouch. The website is very professional and informative and delivery was swift. This is far superior to my last purchase from Bulkpowders.com and cheaper. I would highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to use them again.

I recommend.

As another reviewer has said, unless you take the product to a lab, impossible to verify that you have what you ordered. However, I do like the excellent transparency Plantpills provides by publishing the lab reports on its products in full detail, unlike the market leader who publishes only some of its reports (i.e. leaving out the ones that might show trace levels of heavy metals) even though they use the same lab.
Furthermore, the communication was good and the dispatch was very prompt with all that I ordered in one package with no mistakes.

plant pills review

just started taking resveratrol and nmn from this company.

so far, so good.

i don't have a lab to test to see if product is what it is

hope more reviews come in for this company and it is one to trust. God knows the pills in the fancy bottles being sold on Amazon is a waste of money.

I've been buying Chlorella and…

I've been buying Chlorella and Spirulina for decades and am very careful about the quality, due to contamination reasons, heavy metals, absorbable/quality of nutrients and quantity of nutrients etc. I always ask companies for copies of their product analysis and over the last few years I've discovered even the so called excellent Hawaii Spirulina is often high in aluminium and many companies won't provide their analysis for whatever suspicious reasons. I was ordering my Spirulina from iherb in the US and paying the crazy customs fees to the UK, just so I could get hold of Parry Pharm. Spirulina, as after intensive research it seemed the best in the world, which I guess is why Dr Mercola gets his from there as well. What I am surprised about is that Dr M gets his Chlorella from China. Apparently the so called pristine island of Hainan is......pristine. Many or maybe all suppliers with organic Chlorella buy from there....(Including dear Dr Mercola)...possibly it is the only place who sells organic in the world..... and have the same marketing about it's purity. I researched the place heavily and it's got all sorts of hidden contamination, heavy metals in the island waters etc. Sadly it's so hard to get anything truly pure from China and the Chinese authorities have tried to cover up the environmental problems the island has had and promote some false pristine image.

So I spent a lot of time all over the internet looking for Chlorella from Taiwan, since research shows it's the cleanest in the world. Then after finding it, it's typically too expensive for me to afford.

Until I found Plantpills.co.uk ... which was just at the last moment before I went back to Yaeyama Chlorella, which is what I've always stuck with in the past and is pretty good stuff. And it turned out that Plantpills also sell Parry Spirulina! And provide their analysis spec sheets up front without having to be asked!

So I was pretty chuffed about this discovery. I ordered 2kg of Chlorella and 500grams of Spirulina, mostly to take to India with me.

The best bit was when I opened the Chlorella. It is ABSOLUTELY the best I've ever tried. Seriously fresh, no doubt partially due to the "oxygen scavenger" in the bag and incredibly tasty, satisfyingly crunchy and full of lifeforce "prana" energy. I have done a lot of meditation for decades and am pretty sensitive to energetic resonations and this stuff just great. I can't help eating it like a tasty crunchy super healthy snack to the extent that I don't want all my main meal because I can't help eating handful after handful of the Chlorella. My longterm India trip keeps getting postponed and I'm getting through the Chlorella because it's so good, so I'll be ordering a load more before leaving.

I told the owner of Plantpills it was crazy there was no Trustpilot reviews (I cross-research internet companies heavily before I buy these days, as there's so much crap and lies and false reviews about etc), so I said I was going to write a review after receiving and trying the products.

The parcel was sent out swiftly, postage was free and I love the oxygen scavenger bags inside which are made to be reusable with 40 times of opening and resealing the bag.

I don't write that many reviews as time is precious, but I feel it's especially important to recommend anything which can help humanity in general and Chlorella and Spirulina are really 2 great things on the planet and this company sells the best and at a good and reasonable price, so I decided to do this.

All the best to whoever's reading,
Andy
