How many of you use imitation substances everyday in the pursuit for supreme vitality? I am talking about vitamins, minerals and so called healthy hearty meal replacements. You must comprehend that until recently the human species has eaten only wholesome natural foods. When refined food or artificial substances are ingested, the body robs itself of nutrients to make these products to appear complete this eventually leads to deficiencies.

Are you aware that 70 mg. of vitamin C ingested in the form of broccoli, parsley, or Spirulina may fortify immunity more powerfully then 700mg. of synthetic vitamin C? Studies show that barely 10% of synthetic vitamin C is assimilated in contrast to vitamin C in these green plants mentioned above. There is nothing healthier for healthy vital immune system than natural whole complete food.

Look at impressive natural green food Spirulina called "Food of the future" for example.

Spirulina is microscopic, multicellular, filamentous blue-green algae that strives naturally in warm alkaline fresh water lakes (32 to 45 degrees) and has even survived in temperatures of 60 degrees C.

The superiority of Spirulina to grow in hot and alkaline environments ensures its hygienic status, as no other organisms can carry on to taint the waters in which this algae prospers. Spirulina is in fact one of the cleanest, most naturally sterile food found in nature.

Its adaptation to heat also assures that Spirulina maintains its nutritional value when subjected to higher temperatures at some point of the drying process not like many plant foods that swiftly deteriorate at higher temperatures.

Spirulina used for human consumption is grown on distinctively designed spirulina farms rather then harvested from a natural environment.

Spirulina is abundant in fundamental mineral Magnesium- essential to all cells of all known living organisms. Green food-vegetables offer magnesium because the centre of the chlorophyll molecule contains magnesium.

poor magnesium intake often causes muscle to twitch and has been associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety disorders and osteoporosis.

Spirulina is abundant in beta-carotene and other carotenoids. 100 grams of Spirulina delivers 250.00 IU of Vit A in comparison to 28.000 IU in100 grams off carrots!

Spirulina is high in Chlorophyll and blue pigment phycocyanin, a biliprotein .The rich levels of Chlorophyll and Phycocyanin in Spirulina may explain its ability to hold back cancer colonies from arising

Spirulina has the potential to stimulate natural killer cells and similar anti-immune components of the immune system that can help to wrestle cancer cells. Furthermore, these spirulina-stimulated killer cells can prevent health conditions other than cancer, ranging from the common cold to HIV.

I think if they could patent Spirulina or the Phycocyanin chemical, turn it into a drug and microscopically inject it into tumors; they would have a cure for breast cancer right there. (http://www.newstarget.com/011901-05.html)

There is pharmacological proof of cancer prevention with plants, herbs and food that burst with high levels of Chlorophyll, perhaps because pigments in green vegetables- algaes merge with cancer forming cells and thus stimulate excretion of cancer-causing chemicals. What is amazing about Chlorophyll is that it is cleansing, purifying, detoxifying and accelerates liver rejuvenation

For instance the Japanese are recognized for the use of Spirulina for medicinal purposes (cancer fighter) for years. And these days Western medicine is after all taking note of Spirulina's anti-cancer benefits. Interestingly, Spirulina has been used in Russia to to take care of the victims, especially children, of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. In these children, whose bone marrow had been injured from radiation exposure, Spirulina seemed to boost up the immune system.

Spirulina offers plentiful amounts of immune stimulating nutrients such as fatty acid GLA, beta-carotene and chlorophyll. GLA is also extremely efficient for weight reduction (speeds up metabolism) and inflammatory conditions such as eczema and arthritis, regulates brain function, nerve impulses and insulin (therefore beneficial in diabetes). A standard 10-gram dosage of Spirulina provides 131 mg of GLA Spirulina is the best wholesome food source of GLA other then human milk.

generous in protein- Spirulina is up too 68% protein. It has marvellous capacity to synthesize high-quality concentrated food more supremely than any other algae.

What is absolutely amazing about Spirulina is that three(3) grams (one heaped tsp of powder) of Spirulina is equal to 36 grams of beef, which is slightly more then one ounce.

If you consume 6-9grams (2-3 heaped tsp of powder)of Spirulina daily it will supply you with protein equivalent of two-three ounces of meat.

According to standard nutritional test, the digestive absorption of the protein in Spirulina is four times better then that in Beef. Since Spirulina supplies about 3x more protein then beef, larger absorption means, that 12x more protein is supplied from algae than from the matching weight of beef.

Those of you who are experiencing challenges digesting protein or choose not to wolf down protein source from the animal kingdom, then Spirulina is a fantastic contributor for making sure you are getting high quality protein assimilated into your body. what is more it delivers vitamin B-12 and other B-vitamins. These are the vitamins that most people are commonly lacking in. Vegetarians-Vegans especially tend to miss out on getting enough vitamin B-12 since this particular vitamin is not normally easy to get from the plant kingdom.

By supplementing the Spirulina, you can steer clear from any nutritional lack of of the B-vitamin area

Spirulina is accessible commercially in powder, capsules, tablets, flakes and even as broth.
