Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima) is a type of blue-green algae that grows in
warm, alkaline water that considered to have abundant health benefits making
this as super food. It contains high amount of protein (60-70%) which is a good
source of essential and non-essential amino acids. Furthermore it has essential
fatty acids like omega-3, DHA, GLA, palmitic, oleic and stearic acid.
Also, this Healing Food (sometimes called as super
food) can provide needed dosage of vitamins A, B complex, E and various minerals
like Ca, Fe, P, Mg, Zn, Se, Cu, Mn, Cr and K (do we need to review your
chemistry notes? LOL)
Aside from the animo acids, vitamins and minerals it
also contain antioxidants and phytonutrients like chlorophyll,
lutein, xanthophylls and many more.
With the wide
variety of nutritional content of the said algae, it can be equated to the
number of benefits you can achieve from the said supplement. No doubt it was
called as Healing food or Super Food.
It can be taken either powder (incorporated into
juices, soups, pasta or yogurt), pressed tablet (the one we bought from Healing
Galing) or in capsule form. One to five grams divided into
different intakes a day can give you the benefits of:
Boosting energy and
alertness, immune system against sickness, vision
Guarding against asthma and
other allergic reactions
Protecting the liver and
kidneys
Reducing birth defects,
incidents of eye diseases, toxic effect of radiation and chemotherapy
Reducing bad cholesterol but increasing
good cholesterol and counteracting hypertension
Inhibiting memory and hearing
loss
Relieving constipation and hemorrhoids
Preventing and fighting

Helps in treating depression
