Spirulina
What Is Spirulina?
Spirulina is a blue-green algae and is named for its spiral shape. Algae are old life forms which are responsible for producing and sustaining our oxygenated atmosphere. Spirulina grows in fresh and brackish inland waters, and it is packed with nutrients and energy. Our Spirulina Pacifica is a superior strain grown organically in Hawaii's rainforest waters. It has the highest levels of mixed carotenoids of any spirulina in the world and contains 90 minerals.
Spirulina is a Concentrated Food
Spirulina yields 20 times more protein per acre than soybeans! It consists of 70% protein (compare to beef's 22%), 5% fat (good fats), and no cholesterol (it's a plant). Spirulina contains an impressive array of vitamins and minerals, including the essential B-12, which vegetarians must seek. This wonder food contains 8 essential amino acids (plus 10 of the 12 non-essential amino acids), fatty acids (including the heart-healthy GLA), digestive enzymes, and the pigments chlorophyll, porphyrin and phycocyanin--beneficial to the liver. Best of all, 10 grams of spirulina has only 36 calories, making it a perfect diet food.
Which Minerals are found in Spirulina? Spirulina contains chelated versions of potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, phosphorous, and iron. In addition to these beneficial minerals, you can get your B-complex, A and E vitamins from spirulina.
Is Spirulina Safe for Diabetics?
Yes. Although it has some sugar (about 10 percent), it is in the form of rhamnose, a type of sugar that does not require insulin for metabolism.
