Abstract: Triglycerides and cholesterol in the bloodstream are important factors in the development in the development of cardiovascular disease. The present invention discloses a nutritional supplement comprising a sterol and an omega-3 fatty acid, or an ester thereof, for lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream of a subject. Preferably, the sterol and omega-3 fatty acid are together in the form of an ester.

Abstract: Chlorella extracts containing high molecular weight Chlorella polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes show immune modulatory, specifically immune stimulatory, activity. The polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes contain glucose and any combination of: galactose, rhamnose, mannose and arabinose, as well as N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine. The extracts may be treated with pronase, DNAse, RNAse and proteases to remove unassociated nucleic acids, ribonucleic acids and proteins. The extracts may also undergo treatment to effect cleavage of specific glycosidic linkages, the linkages being defined by their susceptibility to cleavage by amylase, amyloglucosidase, cellulase or neuraminidase. Chlorella extracts may be administered to a mammal to increase proliferation of splenocytes and increase production of cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10, INF-? and TNF-?. They may be used as a supplement to a vaccination regimen.

Abstract: Chlorella fractionated extracts containing high molecular weight Chlorella polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes show immune modulatory, specifically immune stimulatory activity. The fractionated extracts are obtained by size fractionation of an extract of Chlorella and selecting fractions containing high molecular weight polysaccharides and polysaccharide complexes of about 1×104 Da to about 1×107 Da. A fraction of about 4×106 Da to about 1×107 Da is preferably obtained by size fractionation. The polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes contain glucose and any combination of: galactose, rhamnose, mannose and arabinose, as well as N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine. The extracts may be treated with pronase, DNAse, RNAse and proteases to remove unassociated nucleic acids, ribonucleic acids and proteins.
