Quick answer
If you want a broad blend of six superfood greens plus fiber and vitamin A, go with Total Greens. If you prefer a single, nutrient-dense algae source with B12 and omega-3s, Chlorella is the better choice.
What sets Total Greens apart
Total Greens combines wheat grass, alfalfa, chlorella, spirulina, kelp, and barley grass into one capsule. It also provides vitamin A for eye and immune support, plus fiber for digestive regularity. This makes it a convenient all-in-one greens supplement if you want variety without juggling multiple bottles.
What Chlorella brings on its own
Chlorella is a single-celled green algae that packs vitamins B12, folic acid, protein, fiber, omega-3s, iron, and magnesium. It has a long history of use for gentle cleansing and immune support. If you already get other greens from your diet but want a concentrated algae boost, Chlorella offers a focused nutrient profile.
Key trade-offs to consider
Total Greens gives you a wider range of greens but includes chlorella as only one ingredient among six. Chlorella delivers a higher concentration of that specific algae along with B12 and omega-3s, which Total Greens does not emphasize. Your choice depends on whether you want variety or a targeted nutrient punch.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Nutrient variety: Total Greens offers six different greens plus vitamin A and fiber. Chlorella focuses on one algae but includes B12, omega-3s, and more minerals.
- Convenience vs. specificity: Total Greens is a one-capsule blend for general greens support. Chlorella is ideal if you already eat other greens but want a targeted algae supplement.
- Price per capsule: Total Greens costs $13.14 (regular $21.19), while Chlorella is $13.91 (regular $19.59). Both are similarly priced, so your decision should be based on nutrient needs, not cost. Compare the nutrient profiles rather than price since both are in the same range.
