 Spirulina
Microclusters
Spirulina is often called Nature’s perfect food because of its abundant nutritional profile. Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is 70% protein. It contains all nine of the essential amino acids, making it a unique vegetarian source of complete protein. Better yet, Spirulina protein is 95% digestible, compared to meat sources which is often difficult for the body to break down. In fact, beef protein is estimated to be only 20% digestible. Spirulina is a wonderful way to consume high quality protein that’s easy on the system. It contains enzymes which naturally assist the digestion process. Spirulina is one of the highest natural food sources for beta-carotene, a nutrient essential for the maintenance of a strong immune system. Beta-carotene converts to vitamin A in the body, which acts as an antioxidant. One teaspoon of Spirulina powder provides 180% of your daily need for beta-carotene. Spirulina is an excellent source of thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamin B6. This nutritious food also contains vitamin E, a highly bioavailable source of iron, as well as 14 naturally chelated minerals and trace minerals. Spirulina is a rich source of GLA (gamma linolenic acid). Many people are deficient in GLA, a precursor for the body’s prostaglandins, the master hormones necessary for many essential body functions. GLA is important for growth, development and proper immune function. Next to mother’s milk, Spirulina is the highest whole-food source of this important compound. In addition to being one of the most nutrient-rich foods on earth, Spirulina is low in fat, calories and cholesterol. Many people have found that when they eat Spirulina before a meal, it satisfies their appetite so they reduce their overall food consumption. If you would like to satisfy your appetite while leaving food on your plate, Spirulina should be a part of your healthy weight loss program. Spirulina is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates. It contains glycogen and rhamnose, which are easily absorbed by the body and converted into quick energy. This low calorie, high protein, nutritious food provides the abundant energy we need to live each day to the fullest. We’ve all heard about the importance of green foods in our diet. One reason why green foods are so important is because they are abundant in chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives green plants their color. It is the oxygen carrier of the plant kingdom in the same way that hemoglobin is the oxygen carrier in our blood stream. Chlorophyll is very cleansing and it works to rid the system of heavy metals and other toxins. Spirulina has an extremely high chlorophyll content and it contains other pigments that are being studied for their role in disease prevention. Spirulina’s cleansing and detoxifying properties make it not only a nutritious food, but also one that can nourish and restore good health to your body. If you occasionally fast, consume Spirulina and water to cleanse and rejuvenate your system. Fasting with Spirulina is safe for most people because it helps to prevent nutrient deficiencies. Spirulina has undergone extensive research to uncover the remarkable properties of this ancient food. Studies have shown Spirulina to have a protective effect on the liver and to lower both serum cholesterol and triglycerides.1,2 Laboratory research reveals that a polysaccharide in Spirulina may reduce the growth of certain tumor cells.3 It also appears to have anti-allergenic properties and antiretroviral activity.4,5 Consumers have reported that Spirulina consumption helps to improve behavioral and emotional disorders, helps maintain blood sugar balance, and promotes regularity.
