Spirulina is a single-celled blue green algae, that contains 10 vitamins, 8 minerals, and 18 amino acids (essential and non-essential.) It contains a complete protein of 65-71%, that is 12-15 times more protein than steak and is 5 times easier to digest than meat or soy protein. It has been found to help reduce weight, and help with many allergies, visual problems (my youngest daughter who suffers with glaucoma has low ocular pressure readings by consuming this food source), carbohydrate disorders, anemia and many other disease conditions. It also has many beneficial enzymes.
Spirulina is the world’s highest beta carotene food, reducing long-term health risks.
Splrulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots. So even if you don’t eat the recommended 4 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day (most people eat only 1-2, including French fries), get your natural beta carotene insurance from spirulina to help support your body’s defenses.
Spirulina has a rare essential fatty acid that is a key to health.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in mother’s milk helps develop healthy babies. Studies show nutritional deficiencies can block GLA production in your body, so a good dietary source of GLA can be important. Spirulina is the only other whole food with GLA.
