SPIRULINA
QUEEN OF NUTRITION
SUPER FOOD AND FUTURE FOOD
Spirulina is incredibly high in protein and a good source of antioxidants,
B-vitamins and other nutrients. When harvested correctly from noncontaminated ponds and bodies of water, it is one of the most potent
nutrient sources available.
Alkaline Food from Mother Earth

Health Properties
Though it does taste like pond scum, Spirulina has some great healthboosting qualities:
Spirulina is 65% protein and amino acids including the essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which has gotten a lot of attention for
its anti-inflammatory properties, especially when taken with other quality Omega-3 supplements like Fermented Cod Liver Oil. (I suspect
that the benefits of GLA in Spirulina are even more than what the studies have found since these studies often use vegetable oils for their
GLA source, and the other inflammatory compounds in vegetable oils can interfere with the anti-inflammatory ability.) It contains all essential
amino acids. GLA is difficult to find in a food source and normally has to be created by the body. Spirulina is one of the few foods with a natural
GLA content.
Spirulina contains Omega 3-,6 and 9s and is especially high in Omega3s. Spirulina is extremely high in Chlorophyll, which helps remove toxins
from the blood and boost the immune system. Spirulina has a very high concentration of bio-available iron and is excellent during pregnancy and for those with anemia and will not cause constipation. The proteins and nutrients in Spirulina are very bioavailable and easy to absorb.
Spirulina is a great source of other nutrients including (according to Wikipedia): “Spirulina contains vitamins B-1(thiamine), B-2 (riboflavin),
B-3(nicotinamide), B-6 (pyridoxine), B-9 (folic acid), vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin E. It is also a source of potassium, calcium,
chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, sodium and zinc. Spirulina contains many pigments which
may be beneficial and bioavailable”. This Spirulina was tested by an independent laboratory and found to have an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) of over 24,000 which is 4x the ORAC score of blueberries. The ORAC score is generally used to measure antioxidant ability and concentration in different foods. Spirulina is also incredibly high in calcium with over 26 times the calcium in milk, making it excellent for children, the elderly and during pregnancy.
Some research has suggested that Spirulina may be helpful for those with allergies and allergic reactions.
Spirulina’s phosphorus content makes it helpful as part of a tooth remineralization regimen.
Emerging evidence suggests that it binds with radioactive isotopes and may be useful for radioactivity exposure or radiation therapy.
The protein in Spirulina is highly usable and has a net protein utilization rate of between 50-61%
Spirulina can bind with heavy metals in the body and help remove them.
Spirulina can increase fat burning during exercise.
