Spirulina
“The most brilliant creations of the microalgae, which were established in the biology of this planet.”
-Prof. Walter Trösch, Fraunhofer Research Institute
The microalgae are Earth’s most ancient inhabitants often called “God’s gift”. Are important parts of daily diet in many countries (ex: Japan, China). Out of the 13 thousand of the microalgae Spirulina platensis has the most prominent characteristics.
Spirulina Algae: small threadlike freshwater algae, which does not have herbal properties. Have no roots, stems and leaves. Has no nucleus, cell walls, cell membrane. As a result this has a very high utilization of absorption, nearly 90%. Has very high spirulina chlorophyll content, which is required for the production organic syntheses, and the creation of oxygen. Spirulina algae contains high amounts of omega-fatty acids, 18 amino acids, B vitamins, iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc, beta-carotene, a valuable plant proteins.
In addition, its alkaline nature can inhibit acidification in our body.
The main compounds of spirulina:
- Szulfolipids: antioxidant effect – vitamin E: antioxidant, liver protection effects – beta-carotene: antioxidant\
Spirulina nutritional makeup:
- Protein 60%
- Carbohydrates 14% Fat: 6.5%
- Other: 19.5% (B1, B2, B6, B12, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, phosphorus, carotenoid)
