Why Spirulina is considered as wonder food or the world's healthiest Food ?

▪ It conforms to US FDA, Japanese and European Health Standards.
▪ It is consumed in its most natural form as no artificial flavours or colours are added in Spirulina products.
Thus it is an ideal food supplement that provides the body with the entire essential nutrients required daily, leaving you fresh, active and energetic through out the day. Researchers at NASA found it to be an excellent, compact space food for astronauts, as it is believed that 1 kg. of Spirulina is equivalent to 1000 kgs. of assorted vegetables. International health organizations have also summoned Spirulina as one of the "Greatest Super foods on Earth". Spirulina is being developed as the "food of the future" because of its amazing ability to synthesize high-quality concentrated food more efficiently than any other algae.

Benefits of Spirulina

▪ It is world's richest natural source of GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) that is rare essential fatty acid; it helps reducing cholesterol and benefits the heart.
▪ It is the only vegetable source of vitamin B12 and helps to calm nerves and fights stress.
As it contains many nutritious values along with iron it is good for treating anemia and malnutrition.
▪ It enhances the body's ability to generate new blood cells.
▪ It regulates and improves the activity of some important parts of the immune system like: the Bone Marrow Stem Cells, Macrophages, T-cells and anti-cancer Natural Killer cells.
▪ It also helps improve the functioning of spleen and thymus glands.
▪ It has also been observed by the scientists that Spirulina enhances the numeric growth of macrophages and they become activated and more effective at killing germs.
▪ It is a safe and natural food that provides intense nutritional support for optimum health and wellness.

How to take spirulina  ?

Spirulina is a whole food. Spirulina is not to be mistaken as a vitamin or drug.

 - A very common question is how much Spirulina should one take. Diet & Nutrition Advisor recommend daily intake of  1- 3 grams (1/2 teaspoon) of Spirulina as start up.  For maintenance 3 grams (1 teaspoon) per day is recommended. To reach the optimum one is advised to take 3 grams (1 teaspoon)  3 times daily. It should be mentioned that over consuming or overdose does not have any negative effect.

- As powder Spirulina can be added to lunch, dinner, curds or salad, whatever one feels like. However it should be avoided to cook Spirulina as a lot of nutrients (esp. vitamins) get lost (which also happens with other vegetables too while cooking) so it is advisable to mix or sprinkle the Spirulina powder over the already cooked food.

 - Nutrition Experts tip: Spirulina is taken best well stirred with fresh lemon juice or Syrup. Spirulina has a lot but not vitamin C. Vitamin C of lemon Juice makes it complete diet and as well help body to absorb the nutrients. If taken in powder Form it is best to take during or after the breakfast.

For those who may not like the taste  - Spirulina may soon be available in candy form also. For Further details about cost and packing please contact us.
 

Spirulina as algae

▪ It is believed to be the first form of plant life on earth; nearly 3.5 billion years old and was a part of man's early diet.
▪ It was rediscovered in the 1960's and since then the scientists around the world have extensively tested Spirulina.
▪ It is a simple, one-celled form of algae found in warm water alkaline volcanic lakes.
▪ It possesses an amazing ability to thrive in conditions much too harsh for other algae.
▪ It has a highly unusual nutritional profile.
▪ It has a soft cell wall made of complex sugars and protein and unlike most other algae it is easily digested. Today it is cultivated in scientifically designed algae farms and consumed by millions of people worldwide.

Some interesting facts about Spirulina

Facts about the growth and production of Spirulina

Spirulina is naturally found in lakes and ponds high in alkaline content, but it is now cultivated in special algae farms using pure water.
Spirulina is abstractedly related to the kelp algae but it is not a sea plant. It grows in the fresh-water ponds and lakes that are notably saltier (in the range of 8 to 11 pH than ordinary lakes) where any other forms of microorganisms cannot sustain.
Spirulina flourishes in very warm waters of 32 to 45 degrees C (approximately 85 to 112 degrees F), and has even survived in temperatures of 60 degrees C (140 degrees F).
Its photosynthetic conversion rate is much higher than any land-growing plants. Spirulina has photosynthetic conversion rate of 8 to 10 percent, whereas the land- growing plant such as soybeans has rate of only 3 percent. There are also certain desert-adapted species of Spirulina that can survive in temperature as high as 70 degrees Centigrade (160 degrees F). In such high temperature the pond habitats evaporate and dried to a dormant state and the naturally blue-green algae turns a frosted white in such. It also develops a sweet flavor under such condition as its 71 percent protein structure transformed into polysaccharide sugars by the heat. Spirulina grows in very hot and alkaline environments and this ability provides it a very hygienic status. No other organisms can survive to pollute the waters in which this alga thrives. It is one of the cleanest and most naturally sterile foods found in nature, as it is free of any "germs" and  "scum" that are usually associated with algae. The other advantage of its adaptation to heat is that it retains its nutritional value during processing even at very high temperatures. This quality of Spirulina increases its shelf life because unlike many other plant foods it does not deteriorate at high temperatures. Current world production of Spirulina for human consumption is more than one thousand metric tons annually. More & more countries are planning production as they realize it is a valuable strategic resource.
