I really enjoy this product because I’m able to fix drinks very quickly now rather than before which took quite a while. I also was trying to create a more nutritional beverage to help with the lack of nutrients in our food. I mix it with other fruit/berry and veggie/algae powders I’ve ordered from the Metacenter’s website. The finished product turned out better than I expected. The taste was pleasant. ❤️🥰👍🏾
Alvin (verified owner) –
I love the Chlorella product.
Whitney (verified owner) –
Another successful order. I recommend the Meta-center Chicago cause they have products for all your needs.
Hanifah (verified owner) –
Green food is my source of hemoglobin. Chlorella is delicious in taste and quality. It’s like getting a potent blood transfusion 🙂
Jai (verified owner) –
I’ve ordered this product from vendors and questioned the integrity of their product. As a returning customer I’m satisfied , and enjoy your products as well as doing business with the Meta-Center.😊
