For those who prefer taking their spirulina in a tablet form. Spirulina is a potent, nutrient dense super food that is derived from a simple-celled blue green alga grown in fresh, temperate waters around the world. It is considered a whole food due to its rich source of proteins, vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients, such as numerous active plant pigments. Certified Organic by the Australian Certified Organic.
Why take Spirulina?
Spirulina contains around 60 – 70% protein by weight, which is higher than any other natural food including any animal protein sources. It is also known to have all essential amino acids plus 10 – 12 nonessential amino acids and the nucleic acids RNA and DNA . Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for continual cell building, and regeneration, as well as energy production, immune function and detoxification. The body cannot synthesise essential amino acids, therefore it is necessary for them to be provided through one's diet.
Spirulina is a great source of iron and beta-carotene (provitamin A) and contains numerous other vitamins and minerals including Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Folic acid, Sodium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Chromium and Selenium.
Spirulina is one of the few natural dietary sources of gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an omega 6 fatty acid. Spirulina has a high ratio of plant pigments and phytonutrients, including phycocyanin, carotenoids, xanthophylls and chlorophyll. Phycocyanin is a blue pigment (bilirubin) found only in blue-green algae. Chlorophyll is the component of plants that gives them their green colour, and it is often referred to as ‘green blood’ due to its oxygen carrying potential. Chlorophyll is also thought to be exceptionally cleansing and alkalising and to assist in the removal of toxins from the body.
