Isn't Spirulina one
of the most productive foods in the world?
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.
How does Spirulina
benefit the human body?
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. There are several peer
reviewed scientific studies about Spirulina's ability to inhibit viral
reproduction, strengthen both the cellular and the immune system, and cause
regression and inhibition of cancers.
Is there actual
scientific evidence of all these claims?
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 boost the immune system and
improve health.
How does Spirulina
strengthen our immune system?
Spirulina is a powerful tonic
for the immune system. The phytonutrients,responsible for strengthening the
immune system are beta carotene, phycocyanin and polysaccharides. Published
studies from all over the world feeding mice, hamsters, chickens, turkeys,
cats, fish and even humans, confirm Spirulina improves immune system function.
Medical scientists discovered that it not only stimulates the immune system, it
actually enhances the body's ability to generate new blood cells. Important
parts of the immune system, bone marrow stem cells, macrophages, T-cells and
natural killer cells, spleen and thymus glands - all show enhanced activity.
Scientists observe Spirulina causes macrophages to increase in number, become
activated and more effective in killing germs.
How does Spirulina
enhance cardiovascular health and help lower cholesterol?
Animal nutrition studies in Mexico, Argentina,
Japan and India found the
same cholesterol lowering benefits and an improvement in heart artery function
for lower blood pressure. Published scientific studies with men in Japan and India showed several grams of
Spirulina daily can lower cholesterol. These studies suggest spirulina will
reduce serum LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins - the bad cholesterol) and raise HDL
(High Density Lipoproteins - the good cholesterol).
Human studies in Germany and India found a weight reduction
effect along with cholesterol reduction. All these studies indicate Spirulina
is a useful supplement for cardiovascular health and for lowering cholesterol.
How digestible is
spirulina?
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 are
important. How can Spirulina build our body's enzyme system?
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,
