Spirulina (Spirulina
Plantensis) is a microscopic freshwater plant, an aquatic
micro-vegetable/organism composed of transparent bubble-thin
cells stacked end-to-end forming a helical spiral filament.
It is a whole-food, not a concentrate, not an extract. It is
detoxifying. A person can not eat too much and overdose on
Spirulina. It contains more bio-chelated organic iron than any
other whole-food. Bio-chelated means that the iron will easily
be assimilated into the body. Spirulina has 58 times the iron of
raw spinach and 28 times that of raw beef liver.
It contains more beta-carotene than any other whole food.
Beta-carotene determines how our cells communicate with one
another. "Beta carotene opens the membrane communication
channels of cancerous and pre-cancerous cells, allowing the body
to signal the cancerous cells to stop dividing. Therefore, foods
rich in beta carotene may not only be able to prevent but also
reverse cancers. (Wolf 1992)" (Spirulina, Nature's Superfood).
Research as demonstrated that beta-carotene can lower
cholesterol, treat wounds and reduce the size of tumors. Natural
beta-carotene is far superior to synthetic, both chemically and
physically. It absorbs better into the body than synthetic and
it will NOT build up in the body and become toxic. There are NO
toxic side effects with Spirulina the way there are with other
blue green algae such as AFA (Afanzamon Flos Aqua, commonly
known as Bluegreen Algae).
It is the richest source of natural antioxidants of any
whole-food source. It contains every natural known antioxidant
including zinc, manganese, selenium and copper, the amino acid
methionine, vitamin E, vitamins B-1 and B-6, the amino acid
methionine and of course, beta-carotene. It is rich in
chlorophyll, much richer than wheat grass and alfalfa.
Spirulina contains more Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) than any
other whole-food source.
Earth Shift Products Sprulina tablets are unlike the granulation
method which destroys Spirulina's nutritional potency of pure
Spirulina powder by allowing only minimal exposure to
lignaturopaths.
Spirulina is a rich, natural source of phenylalanine-slimmers;
Spirulina effectively suppresses the appetite. Its whole food
nutrition facilitates low-calorie dieting without the energy
draining and health destroying nutritional deficiencies that are
the downfall of most weight-loss programs. Spirulina satisfies
hunger because it fulfills the body's nutritional and
biochemical needs.
Virtually all multiple vitamin/mineral supplements today are
laboratory-synthesized chemical compounds. Yet, according to
internationally acclaimed author and nutritionist Dr. Paavo
Airola: "It is wisest and safest to take vitamins and minerals
in the form of food supplements where they occur in their
natural form and strength, and in combination with all of the
other nutritive factors such as enzymes and trace elements, for
optimum assimilation and biological activity."
Dynamic Energy and Endurance Nutritionally enlightened fitness
enthusiasts, body-builders, professional coaches and competitive
athletes are reporting increased energy, enhanced endurance and
other exciting performance improvements with Spirulina.
Hundreds of Olympic and world champion athletes use Spirulina
both during training and competition. Olympian Lees Evans,
double gold medalist and holder of four world records in track
and field, says: "Spirulina improved my training, resulting in
faster times... increased my stamina and endurance." Now as a
coach, Lee insists all his athletes use Spirulina.
NASA considers Spirulina an ideal food to grow on space stations
and has researched the possibility of using it on long-term
space flights. It will become one of the first foods grown on
the new Space Station when it is completed. It is one of the
most efficient, oxygen-generating foods known.
Spirulina produces all its nutrients by harvesting sunlight. It
gathers and transforms sunlight into green and blue pigments
that make it a blue green algae. The blue is an amino acid group
found only in Spirulina called phycocyanin, which accounts for
its high concentration of vegetarian protein. The green in
Spirulina is chlorophyll, one of the best natural detoxifiers
known.
Spirulina is an extremely high energy food. It contains all the
B vitamins, which are themselves synonymous with high energy.
Energy derived from whole foods such as Spirulina and Chlorella
are natural and will never leave you flat after their nutrients
have been consumed by the body. Scientific studies world-wide
have demonstrated the incredible health properties of spirulina.
Water, nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon dioxide and sunlight are all
that is needed to produce Spirulina, one of the most
nutritionally packed foods in the world, an absolutely
astounding array of enzymes and other nutrients.
Spirulina has been eaten by many cultures throughout history.
The Aztecs and Mayas used Spirulina as a central part of their
diet. The Kanembu people, who live along the shores of Lake
Chad, still use it today. NASA considers Spirulina an ideal food
and plans to grow and use it on long-term space flights. It will
be one of the first foods grown on the Space Station. Spirulina
is one of the most efficient, oxygen-generating foods in
existence. It is extremely easy to grow and takes less room per
cubic centimeter than any other crop known, yielding an enormous
amount of nutrition.
Spirulina and Chlorella are ideal foods to feed a starving
world. They have been used in Third World Countries to relieve
hunger with great effectiveness because they are inexpensive,
nutritionally compact and not given to quick spoilage.
You will never find a better nutritional buy anywhere on the
market than you will with both Spirulina and Chlorella. Ounce
for ounce, your dollar goes farther toward providing the body
with proper nutrition than any other foods available. There are
a lot of different Spirulina brands on the market.
Spirulina (Spirulina Plantensis) is an absolutely pure food
Earth Shift Products Spirulina is this very particular strain of
Spirulina. It is a blue-green algae, one of the oldest foods on
the planet. It has a 95% digestibility rate compared with only
10-15% for most foods. It is extremely high in Vitamins,
Minerals & Amino Acids (protein).
Spirulina is a Whole Food Unlike Vitamins and other
Supplements
Most vitamins on the market are comprised of
laboratory-synthesized chemical compounds rather than natural
sources. Virtually all vitamins are mix and match amalgams of
extracts and concentrates, some of which can accumulate in the
body and become toxic if they are fat soluble. The other problem
with the mix and match vitamin approach is that vitamin
companies are trying to duplicate nature, which can never be
done. Spirulina is a balanced natural whole food. It's minerals
and vitamins are naturally bio-chelated, meaning they are
wrapped in amino-acids for excellent assimilation by the body.
It contains over 100 synergistic nutrients and is nature's
richest and most complete source of total organic nutrition.
Spirulina is a completely natural, and therefore superior,
approach to nutrition. It is also much more economical than most
mass produced vitamins!
Shown Helpful for joint pain
Spirulina is a rich source Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is
the "miracle" ingredient of Spirulina. GLA is an essential fatty
acid that has been shown very helpful in the relief of joint
pain.
Spirulina Is Nature's Richest Whole Food Source of Organic
Iron
It is biochelated and is completely nontoxic. It's 58 times
richer in organic iron than raw spinach and 28 times richer than
raw beef liver!
Spirulina is a Powerful Nutriceutical
The human body is perfectly capable of healing itself if it is
provided with the necessary vitamins, minerals, enzymes and
other nutrients it needs. There are many foods that have healing
and preventative health qualities, but none possess such
powerful and wide-ranging and diverse group nutrients as
Spirulina. Spirulina provides the body with the proper nutrients
it needs so it can heal itself.
Nature's Richest Source of Vitamin B-12
It's 4-6 times richer than raw beef liver, it's nearest rival.
B-12 is known for providing the human body with high energy.
Contains Natural Digestive and Other Enzymes
Over 2000 different enzymes have Enzymes are critical for good
health, weather digestive or metabolic. Spirulina has been
scientifically demonstrated to increase the reproduction of
lacto-bacilli, the bacteria that digests our food.
Contains SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase)
This essential enzyme is crucial to the bodies ability to
assimilate amino acids (protein). Without its presence in the
body, we are unable to create the 10,000's of long, complex
chains of amino acids known as protein.
Richest Whole Food Source Of Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene (Pro
Vitamin A)
Spirulina has 3 times the Vitamin E than that of raw wheat germ
and its biological activity is 49% greater than synthetic
vitamin E. It has 25 times the Beta-Carotene than raw carrots.
Unlike the preformed vitamin A of synthetics and fish liver
oils, beta-carotene is completely nontoxic even in mega doses.
Spirulina is a Complete Protein
This means that Spirulina has all the eight essential amino
acids as well as ten others. Most animal protein contain large
amounts of fat, which Spirulina does not. Spirulina is less than
four calories per gram and almost no cholesterol.
