The Real Thing takes Social Responsibility seriously. We regularly receive feedback from our valued customers regarding our product offering and its impact on the environment. Consequently we have re-evaluated the use of secondary packaging for the Complementary Medicine range. Secondary packaging in this range is being phased out for all products except that packed into the 75 ml glass bottles and our Mega Omega Fish Oil Range (Natural and Lemon). Current batches are being packed into glass amber bottles only. For your convenience, we have added a recycling logo to remind and encourage recycling. We have also provided a link to The Glass Recycling Company. Visit their website to find a glass bank closest to you. Alternatively, many retailers have recycling facilities, so make recycling part of your shopping journey! Let us all do our part to recycle, repurpose or reuse to save our planet.
DOES CHLORELLA CONTAIN ANY KELP?
Chlorella is a single-cell green algae that grows in fresh water whilst Kelp is a long stemmed brown algae seaweed. The British Pharmacopoeia, a pharmaceutical industry reference, includes Bladderwrack fucus, Fucus vesiculosus L., F. serratus and Ascophyllum nodosum Le Jolis (Rockweed) as Kelp. A second important difference between the two is that Chlorella contains trace (minute) amounts of Iodine whilst Kelp contains significant amounts of Iodine which may be of significance in people with thyroid problems.
