Long before spirulina became a favorite of the health food industry,
it was eaten by North Africans and Mexicans centuries ago. The plant
was rediscovered by the Western world in 1962. Since then, it has been
cultivated in several countries, including Thailand, Japan, Taiwan,
United States, China, France, Africa & India. People are seeing
the amazing results of this product worldwide
Survivor
Part of man’s fascination with spirulina stems from the fact that
the plant is a survivor. It can grow by itself on lakes and ponds and
doesn't’t need any special care from the farmer.
But to ensure an excellent quality product, it is best to buy spirulina
from a reputable organic source as, spirulina grown in uncontrolled
conditions has an affinity to collect heavy metal and other contaminants.
High protein source
For instance, it’s is true that spirulina is a rich source of
protein. To be exact, the plant contains 60 - 70% protein compared to
eating white fish which has 25% protein, chicken (25 -30%) or white
lean beef (23%). In fact, spirulina is second only to a dried egg powder
with regards to usable protein and higher than any of the common foods.
Be careful some products advertised as spirulina have no spirulina at
all.
One other thing that is true about spirulina is it is packed with vitamins.
Dieters can be helped by spirulina which only has 3.9 calories per gram
along with bringing a huge range of vitamins and minerals. You may be
surprised to know that sugar contains 4 calories to the gram while bread
has only 2 calories per gram. Both rob the body bones and internal organs
of vital minerals as they are depleted themselves.
Vitamin B12
As it has a considerable amount of vitamin B12, spirulina is a favorite
of vegetarians who can’t get this vitamin from other plant sources.
Vitamin B12 is a member of the vitamin B complex. It contains cobalt,
and so is also known as cobalamin. It is exclusively synthesised by
bacteria and is found primarily in meat, eggs and dairy products and
spirulina’s vitamin B12 is one of the only vegetable sources available.
Since most spirulina grows in open lakes and ponds reputable suppliers
thoroughly wash and filter their product at harvesting to remove insect
and other contaminants before it’s dried.
Iron for health.
Iron is essential to build a strong system, yet is the most common mineral
deficiency. This plant is rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals,
and is easier to absorb than iron supplements.
Scientists are discovering the benefits of polysaccharides, sulfolipids
& glycolipids, and the rainbow of natural pigments that give this
algae a deep green colour. Green (chlorophyll), blue (phycocyanin) and
orange (carotenoids) colors collect the sun's energy and power growth.
Chlorophyll is a natural cleanser and is often referred to as nature's
green magic.
Some strains of spirulina have higher amounts of trace minerals that
can help fight virus and other infections.
To sum it all up this single-cell blue/green algae fresh water is an
incredible source of nutrients, it has has superior nutritional properties
compared to other most other algae products.
