In today’s world, our children are surrounded by more environmental toxins than ever before—at home, at school, on playgrounds, even in the very air they breathe. Studies show kids absorb a higher percentage of these toxins than adults. If their bodies can’t efficiently get rid of them, toxins can quietly build up, affecting growth, learning, moods, and overall well-being.

At BIORAY®, we believe every child has the potential to be a fantastic detoxifier. That’s why we created BIORAY Kids®—a line of gentle, effective herbal supplements that help the body naturally release toxins while supporting overall health.

The secret in every BIORAY Kids® formula is Natural Detox Factors (NDF®)—our proprietary micronized chlorella. This remarkable green algae binds to environmental pollutants and gently ushers them out, all while giving your child nutrient-rich support.

What is Micronized Chlorella Good For?

Chlorella is a freshwater green algae revered for centuries as a restorative in Traditional Chinese Medicine. When micronized—broken into tiny, bioavailable particles—it becomes a gentle yet powerful ally for children’s health.

Think of micronized chlorella as a daily helper for your child’s body—kind of like a gentle “clean-up crew” that also brings a lunchbox full of nutrition.

Here’s how it supports your child in everyday life:

• Helps them absorb nutrition better – The proteins and healthy fats in chlorella are pre-digested by nature, making it easy for kids’ bodies to use.
  

• Keeps their immune system strong – Rich in immune-modulating herbs, fruit concentrates, and adaptogens traditionally used to support the lungs, throat, and nasal passages
  

• Removes what doesn’t belong – Gently binds to heavy metals, pesticides, chlorine, and even BPA from plastics, helping move them out.
  

• Helps with moods and focus – In Traditional Chinese Medicine, chlorella is known as a “restorative” that helps calm irritability and mental fatigue.
  

• Protects from harmful food exposures – Especially important if your child eats foods that may be GMO or processed.
  

• Keeps digestion happy – Encourages healthy gut bacteria, which can mean better digestion and fewer upsets.
  

• Supports steady growth – Packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients growing kids need.
  
  

This isn’t about a harsh cleanse—it’s about gentle, daily support that works in the background while your child eats, plays, and learns.

How to Take Micronized Chlorella? With BIORAY Kids® Products

The challenge with regular chlorella is that its tough outer cell wall makes it hard for the body to use. At BIORAY®, we’ve solved this by micronizing it—breaking it down into tiny, absorbable particles that act like magnets for toxins.

Our NDF® chlorella is in every BIORAY Kids® formula, including:

• NDF Calm® – Helps restore emotional balance by supporting the liver
  

• NDF Focus® – helps sharpen focus, calm the nervous system, and ease seasonal histamine responses

• NDF Tummy® – Promotes healthy digestion and detox from harmful bacteria or food toxins.

• NDF Happy® - NDF Happy® removes unwanted organisms that may be triggering emotional volatility, sugar cravings.

• NDF Immune® - has immune modulating herbs, fruit concentrates that support the lungs, throat, and nasal passages.

• NDF Pooper® - moisten and lubricate the intestines, helping ease bowel movements without force or urgency.

• NDF Sleepy®- offers gentle, non-habit-forming restorative sleep without melatonin.

Just add the drops to water or juice—or take straight from the dropper. The taste is mild, and it’s easy to make part of your child’s morning routine.

Use Micronized Chlorella for Kids to Empower Their Journey

As a parent, you can’t control every exposure your child has—but you can give their body the tools to handle it. By using micronized chlorella daily, you’re supporting their natural detox process, boosting their nutrition, and helping them feel their best—inside and out.

When nature’s wisdom and modern science work together, the results can be remarkable. Here’s to raising healthy, resilient kids who are ready for life’s adventures. 

Parent FAQ: Micronized Chlorella for Kids

Is micronized chlorella safe for children?
Yes—micronized chlorella is gentle, non-toxic, and well-tolerated by most children. Several lines of evidence support this:

• Breastfeeding and early exposure: Research published in LactMed shows that maternal intake of chlorella during pregnancy and lactation did not cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. In fact, supplementation was associated with reduced dioxin levels and increased beneficial components like immunoglobulin A and carotenoids in breastmilk (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, bioray.hu).
  

• Whole-food nutritional profile: Chlorella offers abundant nutrients—such as iron, folate, vitamin B₁₂, D₂, and protein—making it a nutrient-dense, whole-food supplement that supports healthy growth and development (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, bioray.hu).
  

• Safety track record in kids: Though well-controlled pediatric clinical trials are limited, long-term community use and historical data suggest that chlorella is regarded as safe for children, with many parents integrating it into their child’s diet with minimal side effects (sunchlorellausa.com).

Can my child take it every day?
Absolutely. Daily use supports ongoing detox, digestion, and nutrient absorption. Think of it as daily “maintenance” for your child’s health, rather than a short-term cleanse.

How soon will I see results?
Some parents notice changes in focus, digestion, or mood within 24 hours to  a week. For others, benefits build gradually over several weeks as the body clears toxins and absorbs more nutrients.

What age can my child start taking micronized chlorella?
BIORAY Kids® products are suitable for most children ages 12 months and up. For babies under 12 months, consult with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement.

Does it taste bad?
Not at all. Our formulas are flavored with natural fruit juice concentrates, real vanilla, and maple syrup. Because they are liquid tinctures, they mix easily into water or juice, so kids rarely notice anything “green” in their drink.

Can micronized chlorella replace a healthy diet?
No, it cannot. A dietary supplement is meant to enhance a child’s diet. Good nutrition, hydration, movement, and sleep are still essential for your child’s well-being.
