Herb Profile: Spirulina
| 
 | ||
| 
 Spirulina is a blue-green algae, which gets its name from   its spiral 
shape. It contains the most remarkable concentration of nutrients known 
in any food, plant, grain or herb.   | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
  
		       It is the highest protein food- over 60% all digestible 
vegetable protein. Spirulina is loaded with unique phytonutrients like 
phycocyanin, polysaccharides and sulfolipids that  possibly reducing 
risks of infection. Rich in natural carotenoid, antioxidants that 
promote health. It has chlorophyll which helps detoxify our bodies of 
ever present pollution. It also contains  iron, trace minerals and the 
rare essential fatty acid.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
Chlorella,
 a green micro-algae, is a nutritious food and it's cell wall is made of
 indigestible cellulose, just like green grass, while the cell wall of 
Spirulina is made of complex proteins and carbohydrates. Chlorella 
contains saturated fats, and its total fat content is relatively high.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
	  
		   Spirulina is unique among blue-green algae because it has a long 
history of safe use. The Aztecs consumed Spirulina in Mexico over five 
centuries ago. Indigenous people consume Spirulina growing in African 
Lakes today. For the past 20 years, millions of people around the world 
have enjoyed it as a safe food supplement. In fact, the United Nations 
and the World Health Organization recommend Spirulina as safe and 
nutritious for children.

Spirulina
 offers more nutrition per acre than any other food.   It delivers 20 
times more protein per acre than soybeans, 200 times more than beef. By 
growing more Spirulina, we can help stop cutting the last original 
forests to grow food. By bringing it into our personal lives, we become 
part of the solution to improve the health of our planet.   | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
		    
		  	Spirulina contains all the nutrients that the human body needs. A 
deficiency of any of these nutrients would compromise the proper 
functioning of our body.  | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
 
		    
		  	Yes. Scientists around the world - in Japan, China, India, Europe, 
Russia and the USA - are discovering the  importance of Spirulina, how 
and why Spirulina is so effective for humans' and animals' health. 
Hundreds of published scientific studies reveal how Spirulina and its 
unique phytonutrients  improve health.  
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
		    
		  	Spirulina builds soft cell walls from a network of proteins, 
polysaccharides and enzymes. It just melts away inside your body. This 
is important for those who suffer from poor digestion, or for older 
people with restricted diets.  | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
		    
		  	Enzymes in our bodies digest our food, cut, paste and repair our 
DNA and power our critical body systems. It's always good to enhance our
 diet with raw foods like fresh fruit, vegetables and juices, which are 
rich in natural living enzymes. Dehydrated super foods like Spirulina 
still have natural enzymes present. More importantly, Spirulina has 
building blocks such as minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and 
polysaccharides that trigger our bodies own enzyme systems to flourish 
and perform their many tasks.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
		    
		  	Owing to the amino acids contained within, Spirulina helps to 
suppress hunger and increase metabolism. Together with the high density 
of other nutrients, Spirulina helps to naturally suppress the appetite, 
thus permitting healthy weight loss.
 | ||
| 
		    
		  	Chlorophyll in Spirulina helps to sanitize the bowel by detoxifying
 and cleansing the colon and intestines. In addition, the chlorophyll 
helps to coat the irritable stomach lining, thus aiding the relieve 
symptoms of gastric ulcers and inhibit ulceration. It also acts as a 
functional food, feeding beneficial intestinal bacteria, especially 
Lactobacillus and Bifidus. By maintaining a healthy population of these 
bacteria, Spirulina reduces digestion and constipation problems caused 
by pathogens like E.coli and Candida.

 | ||
|

 in very alkaline waters.  It is considered an alkaline food, and will 
help your body toward more alkalinity. Its a great balancer for any diet
