SPIRULINA

They are one of the first life forms designed by nature more than 3.6 billion years ago. So named because of its helix or "spiral" shape, spirulina has gained prominence as nature's green "super food" because of its rich concentrations of perfectly balanced amino acids (protein), fiber, vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients.

Long before it became a favorite of health and food industry, Spirulina algae plants were eaten regularly by North Americans and Indians Aztecs centuries ago. Now people around the globe have realized that this "SUPER FOOD SPIRULINA" has a huge potential as a whole food sources and biochemical resources.

Spirulina is a microscopic form of blue-green algae which has been growing naturally for centuries in alkaline water. It is a vegetable plankton and has the highest conversion rate of sunlight as compared to other plants, and brings to us in its most potent form all nutritional benefits derived from the synthesis of the sunʼs light. It is a complete vegetable protein and is a source of all vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, trace elements, cell salts and chlorophyll our body and brains need for perfect nutrition. People around the globe have realized that this " SUPERFOOD SPIRULINA" has a huge potential as a whole food source, medicine and biochemical resources.

The component elements of protein in Spirulina includes 18 amino acids,all essential for human health. It contains poly- unsaturated fatty acids and virtually no cholesterol, starches or fat. The vitamins and minerals in Spirulina is absorbed 4-5 times more rapidly in our body than any animal sources like eggs, beef or cheese. They are formed biologically and organically bound into the cells the same way they are synthesized by the human body. The blue pigment phycocyanin, which is richly found in Spirulina, also helps draw together amino acids for neurotransmitter formation that increases mental capacity.

One gram of Spirulina is equal to the nutrients of one kilogram of assorted nutritionally balanced fruits and vegetables. It is now the worldʼs highest known source of Vitamin B12, which is 250% higher than that of the liver. Its beta- carotene content is 20-25 times more potent than carrots and its iron content is 12 times that of any other food. Spirulina is the highest known source in the world of 3 vital nutrients - Carotene, Vitamin B12 and Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is not only knwon for regulating blood sugar and providing important nutrients to the brain, but it also exhibits immune-boosting properties.


BENEFITS OF SPIRULINA


- As Natural Food: The UN has announced that it is " The Most Ideal Food for Mankind " because it contains minerals, vitamins and nutrients that a human body needs.
- A supplement in Natural and Modern Medicine : It can be added to existing medical formulations without altering but rather enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of such natural medicine.
- As a Natural Cleanser: because it is a very potent food high in biological pigments, it is a good aid to the bodyʼs cleansing process, short of fasting, Chlorophyll, which is a major constituent of Spirulina cleanses the liver, idneys and blood of toxins and metabolic impurities.
- As Immune Booster: It has favorable nutritional profiles for cancer and immune therapies.It provides cellular protection with exceptional amounts of beta- carotene and chlorophyll and is rich in phycocyanin, a pigment with anti-cancer properties.

- For Cosmetics: It activates skin metabolism, regenerate skin cells and stimulate the enzymes required for a healthy and good looking skin. It has high protein content range of natural pigments, and vitamins essential for maintaining a healthy skin and helping prevent aging.
