Frontier Bulk Spirulina Powder, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, 1 lb. package
Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae found in most lakes and ponds. It has been consumed for thousands of years by Mexican (Aztecs, Mayans), African, and Asian peoples. Spirulina is considered a complete protein because well over half of it consists of amino acids -- the building blocks of protein. It is also a rich source of other nutrients including B complex vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, carotenoids, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid). In fact, at least one laboratory study has demonstrated that the iron level in spirulina is equivalent to that contained in beef. Because of its apparent ability to stimulate the immune system, spirulina may have antiviral and anticancer effects. Test tube and animal studies suggest that spirulina may also help protect against harmful allergic reactions.
As a plant, Spirulina is incredibly rich containing a balance of nutrients that make it virtually a ‘whole food’ – capable of sustaining life without the need for other foods.Spirulina provides vitamins, many minerals, essential amino acids, carbohydrates and enzymes. Spirulina is at least 60% vegetable protein, which is predigested by the algae, making it a highly digestible food. It is higher in protein than any other food. Its outstanding nutritional profile also includes the essential fatty acids, GLA fatty acid, lipids, the nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), B complex, vitamin C and E and phytochemicals, such as carotenoids, chlorophyll (blood purifier), and phycocyanin (a blue pigment), which is a protein that is known to inhibit cancer.
From human point of view research suggests that eating dark green vegetables and foods high in beta carotene offer some protection from the development of lung cancer with reduced risk of cancers of the ovary, cervix, stomach and colon. Some research has even indicated that the risk of cancer can be reduced by fifty per cent by ensuring adequate amounts of Green foods. Researchers have found that contains natural antiseptics and antibiotics that seem to stimulate healing by promoting cell regeneration evidence.
Once Spirulina ingested, your body feels energy within minutes of consuming it. Because digestion is the biggest process occurring in the body, the body will send most of its blood supply to the digestive organs. This aids in digestion but can result in a tired, sluggish feeling. Spirulina is the total opposite. Because it can be consumed as a liquid, you feel light and energized as it provides energy and nourishment between meals or in place of a meal.
- When mixed with water, premium Spirulina is absorbed by the body almost immediately. There is no strain on the digestive organs so
you don't feel sluggish like you can do after regular meals.
