 What
is Spirulina?
Spirulina
is hard-core superfood and considered one of the most nutritious food on
Earth. It is an incredible source of full spectrum,
non-toxic, absorbable nutrients. It is 60-65% protein making
it the worlds highest known source of protein.
It is
a microscopic
blue-green algae, often called Nature's perfect food because of its abundant
nutritional profile. It is one of the most easily digestible and quickly assimilated sources
of protein on the planet. This algae is one of the richest
food sources of protein, chlorophyll and beta-carotene. It
also provides you with the benefits of vitamins and
essential minerals from a whole food.
Spirulina is a Superfood:
-
Spirulina has 300% more
calcium than whole milk.
-
It has 2300% more iron
than spinach.
-
It has 3900% more beta
carotene than carrots.
-
It has 375% more protein
than tofu (it's the highest source of protein)
-
Three grams of Spirulina
have more antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
activity than five servings of vegetables.
-
Comparing phytonutrients
levels, Spirulina is 31 times more
potent than blueberries, 60 times more potent than
spinach and
700 times more potent than apples.
From Healing With Whole
Foods by Paul Pitchford: Spirulina’s predigested protein
provides building materials soon after ingestion, without
the energy-draining side effects of meat protein; its
mucopolysaccharides relax and strengthen connective tissue
while reducing the possibility of inflammation; its simple
carbohydrates yield immediate yet sustained energy; its GLA
fatty acids improve hormonal balance; and its protein-bonded
vitamins and minerals, as found in all whole foods,
assimilate better than the synthetic variety. Spirulina can
generally be considered an appropriate food for those who
exercise vigorously, as evidenced by the many world-class
athletes who use it.
The benefits of Spirulina
include:
High Quality Protein
Spirulina is a blue-green
algae containing complete, balanced protein and a wide range
of valuable nutrients. Spirulina is approximately 70% easily
digestible protein. It contains 18 out of 22 amino acids and
all 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
are 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 body. It contains enzymes, which
naturally assist in the digestion process.
Naturally Rich in
Nutrients
The complete, whole-food
nutrition found in this ancient food provides an endless
list of health benefits. Spirulina is particularly high in
beta-carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant that protects
the body from free radical damage. It also converts into
vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy
eyes, skin, teeth, nails, hair, bones and a strong immune
system.
Spirulina is an excellent
source of B vitamins, particularly vitamin B12, which is
important for vegetarians. This nutritious food also
contains vitamin E, a highly bioavailable source of iron, 14
naturally chelated minerals and numerous trace elements.
SuperFood for
Dieters
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 allowing them to reduce
their overall food consumption. When the body receives
proper nutrition, it is far less likely to have an
overactive appetite, which can lead undernourished people to
eat large amounts of food. Spirulina is a nutrient rich food
that will satisfy the appetite with few calories. This
SuperFood can be a valuable part of any healthy weight loss
program.
Spirulina is also 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.
Supports Natural Immunity
Spirulina naturally contains
many nutrients needed for optimum immunity such as GLA,
beta-carotene and other carotenoids. This ancient food has
been extensively studied to reveal its immune enhancing
properties. Studies have shown that Spirulina can increase
interferon levels and macrophage activity, both of which are
important for a strong and active immune system. It also
helps to balance your immune system activity.1,2,3
Cleanse and Detoxify
One reason why green foods are
so important is because they are high in chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives green plants their
color. Chlorophyll is very cleansing, and it works to rid
the system of heavy metals and other toxins that can damage
our health. For many years, people who wish to cleanse their
body of impurities have periodically fasted with Spirulina.
