Spirulina is a naturally digestible food that aids in protecting the immune system, in
cholesterol reduction, and in mineral absorption. Spirulina is beneficial while fasting. It
supplies the nutrients needed to help cleanse and heal, while also curbing the appetite. A
person with hypoglycemia may benefit from using this food supplement between meals because its
high protein content helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Recognized the world over as the most promise of all microalgae, spirulina is an immediate
food resource. Spirulina thrives in hot, sunny climates and in alkaline waters around the
world. It represents a breakthrough in the production of food, producing 20 times as much
protein as soybeans growing on an equal-sized area of land.
Spirulina contains concentrations of nutrients unlike any other single grain, herb, or plant.
It contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), linoleic and arachidonic acids, vitamin B
12 (needed, especially by vegetarieans, for healthy red blood cells), iron, a high
level of protein (60 to 70 percent), essential amino acids, the nucleic acids RNA and DNA,
chlorophyll, and phycocyanin, a blue pigment that is found only in blue-green algae and that has
increased the survival rate of mice with liver cancer in laboratory experiments.
