Evidence Anchor
BioHarmony 6.5/10
Chlorella is a worth-trying whole-food supplement at 6.5/10: a cheap, safe, broadly nutritious green algae with real but modest human evidence for lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and improved liver enzymes. It deserves to sit a notch above heavily-marketed metabolic drugs precisely because it delivers honest, low-risk, broad benefit without the industry-funded, endpoint-narrow evidence base those products lean on. The tier is justified by the evidence-risk balance: the benefits are genuine and replicated but small, and the downside is close to zero for anyone who buys tested product. The single most important practical point is sourcing, since the only real hazard, heavy-metal contamination, is a property of cheap algae, not of chlorella itself. ✅ Best for: Budget-conscious people who want a clean, broad-spectrum nutritional green with almost no downside. People with borderline-high cholesterol or blood pressure looking for a gentle, food-based adjunct alongside diet and exercise. Vegans and vegetarians who may benefit from its iron and bioactive B12 fraction, as suggested by lower methylmalonic acid in Merchant 2015. Those wanting gut-level binding of fat-soluble toxins, the narrow but real effect behind Nakano 2007. Anyone who prefers a whole-food experiment they can verify with their own bloodwork over a hyped single-molecule product. ❌ Avoid if: You take warfarin, since chlorella is rich in vitamin K and can blunt that blood thinner. You have an autoimmune condition and want to avoid immune stimulation, given the NK-cell and cytokine rises in Kwak 2012. You expect a dramatic or fast effect, because every confirmed benefit is small and slow. You are unwilling to buy product with a published heavy-metal certificate of analysis, since untested algae can carry lead, cadmium, or arsenic, the one genuine real-world risk. You have genuinely high cardiovascular risk that needs proven medication rather than a gentle adjunct.

My score and my verdict: one signal of three, never the whole answer.
Momentum
Signals begin with Edition 2
Direction needs two weekly snapshots to compare, so the arrows stay off until the next edition. Attention tracking is already running.
Momentum = how fast attention is rising across search, Reddit, PubMed, podcasts, and curated industry newsletters this week; it can flag an item as Overhyped/Fading, but it never overrides the evidence behind Proven. How momentum works.
