Spirulina is a blue green algae grown
wildly in the warm alkaline water in nature. Spirulina powder is a
health supplement made from the spray dried powder of algae spirulina cyanobacteria.
The technique used to produce the powder is under strict hygiene
process which only the water content is being dried up.
Spirulina has been used by the Koreans,
Japanese and Chad as staple food for thousands of years. The Japanese
eat seaweed and the Kanembas of Chad eat the blue green algae daily.
The diet of these 3 countries have
resulted in significant low level of HIV infections among the
population. In fact the composition nutrients of spirulina in powder or
in
it's nature form has the ability to suppress the viral load of those
infected.
Spirulina Powder other
capabilities:
to inhibit replication of other human pathogenic viruses
like measles and mumps
the unique polysaccharides of spirulina can enhance cell
nucleus enzyme activity and other DNA repair synthesis. This has proven
to coincide with experimental cancers research on animals that have
high level of suppression of several important types of cancer.
spirulina has 62% amino acid content
is the richest source of Vitamin B12
has the whole spectrum of natural mixed carotene
including beta carotene and xanthophylls phytopigments.
in one study in Kerala India, Spirulina was able to
reversed oral cancer in pan tobacco chewers with 45% success rate when
the patients were on 1 gram of Spirulina a day for a year. When the
patients stop the treat after a year, 45% of the lesions returned.
study conducted on natural beta carotene found that
Spirulina has greater antioxidant power than synthetic ones for
treating heart disease, cancers and strokes involving over 20 thousands
patients by the Medical Council of UK and the British Heart Foundation.
Why natural organically grown and how to
process spirulina powder is important?
some of the blue green algae are cultured in
contaminated ponds which eventually create contaminated spirulina
spirulina has high amino acid content which makes it
very delicate. If they are served in tablet and granulation form, their
structure and nutrients will be altered
if spirulina is liquefied, there will be some forms of
preservative which will also damage the nutrients
the best form is the spray dried powder that will not
effect the quality and texture of the spirulina.
