A Single Dose of Marine <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> Increases Plasma Concentrations of Lutein, β-Carotene and Zeaxanthin in Healthy Male Volunteers

A Single Dose of Marine <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> Increases Plasma Concentrations of Lutein, β-Carotene and Zeaxanthin in Healthy Male Volunteers

The beneficial health effects of <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> have been associated with the presence of several nutrients and antioxidants, including carotenoids. However, the in vivo bioavailability of <i>Chlorella</i> is still poorly evaluated. In this work, a human interventi...
