Why take Spirulina?


Enhances Brain Function

Spirulina is a highly concentrated source of essential fatty acids. It is one of a few whole food sources containing omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in the form of Linoleic, Linolenic and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Sevulla & Aguirre (1995), in their doctoral research studied 1,567 students who were given 1 gram (4 capsules) of AFA (blue-green superfood similar to spirulina) a day for 6 months. KEY FINDING: A dramatic 81% improvement in the children's academic scores were reported. Find out more: http://www.chlorellafactor.com/chlorella-spirulina-17.html

Gives you Extra Energy

The reason spirulina is so green is also why spirulina is so good for you. Spirulina contains large quantities of chlorophyll and phycocyanin. Chlorophyll traps sunlight to create energy and gives that energy back to you. If you find you need a little extra energy to get through the day, Spirulina may be the key for you.

Helps with Weight Loss

Spirulina is a helpful addition to any sensible weight loss plan, as it contains natural appetite suppressants. Taken half an hour or so before mealtimes, it will help curb your appetite. Spirulina is speedily assimilated so that within minutes a vast array of nutrients are available to the bloodstream. In particular the amino acids phenylalanine and valine help to release an appetite controlling hormone, which gives you the “I feel full” signal. So while Spirulina contains no harmful chemicals or substances which suppress the appetite, it is a way of naturally bringing your appetite into balance.

Concentrated Protein

Amino Acids are the body’s building blocks for proteins, needed for muscle growth, immunity, enzymes and hormones. Spirulina contains 60-70% protein which provides a complete source of all 8 essential amino acids plus an additional 10 non-essential amino acids. Getting enough of all 8 essential amino acids can be a problem particularly for vegetarians.

Combats Nutritional Deficiencies

Our modern diet is overloaded with highly processed convenience foods which are nutrient and enzyme poor. Knowing this, many people supplement their diet with extra vitamins and minerals to protect against nutritional deficiencies. Spirulina is a complete, easily absorbed, highly concentrated food supplement. It contains over 100 natural synergistic nutrients.

Nutritionally Complete

Spirulina contains the complete Vitamin B complex group and many important anti-oxidants (cell protectors). It is the richest natural source of Vitamin E and Beta Carotene. Other anti-oxidants present are Phycocyanin, mixed Carotenoids, Selenium, Zinc as well as vast array of trace elements and minerals. Phycocyanin, a rare blue pigment is a powerful immune stimulant. Vitamin B12 and iron are two nutrients commonly lacking especially in most vegetarian diets. Supplementing daily with Spirulina will help fill in these nutritional gaps.

Natural Vs. Synthetic

The single most important factor in determining the effectiveness of any nutritional supplement, is the body’s ability to absorb those nutrients. Most multi-vitamin/mineral formulations are predominately laboratory synthesised. Over 50 clinical studies have shown that organic nutrients are absorbed up to 16x more effectively than synthetic ones. Spirulina contains just pure organic nutrients exactly as they occur in their natural form. Unlike synthetic supplements the vitamins, co-vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, enzymes, co-enzymes and essential fatty acids all work together to ensure maximum assimilation and utilisation. Nothing has been added, and nothing removed but the water. If you are moving away from empty processed food and chemical vitamins to natural foods, start using Spirulina.

Essential Fatty Acids

Spirulina is a highly concentrated source of essential fatty acids. It is one of a few whole food sources containing omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in the form of Linoleic, Linolenic and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). These fatty acids are especially essential to womens’ good health.

Testimonials

After reading on the label that Spirulina has 300% more protein than meat ( I think that's what it said) I thought I would try it out for weight loss instead of using my protein powder. And it has had way better results! It filled me up so much that I had to change the size of my meals and gave me way more energy than my protein powder ever did! Not only has it helped me lose weight and increase muscle mass, the best part is that I could buy 4 tubs of Spirulina for the same price as my protein powder! I am so glad I have gotten onto it, I have more money to spend now and my body loves having something natural in it rather than the processed formulas I was previously having. There is no way I will go back to using protein powder, thanks to Spirulina!

Good Morning,
I am contacting you regarding your product. My son uses the organic Spirulina tablets for swimming. He is 10 years old and trains 6 sessions a week. We give him 20 - 25 tablets a day.
Since having the tablets his energy levels have greatly increased and in doing so he has made the QLD swimming team by winning silver in both 50m Butterfly and 50m Backstroke. He now goes to Sydney to swim at the National Titles in Sydney in June this year.
We have put a lot of parents at our swimming club and at your junior lifesaving club on to your product.
Kind Regards

I am writing to you regarding your product Spirulina. I have been using this product now for 2 ½ years and I find it to be fantastic! I have not been sick with a cold or anything for that matter. Ever since taking them my weight has come off and I’m maintaining it by using spirulina. I have put heaps of people onto it and they love it! I really swear by it, so I would like to say a big thank you.
Congratulations on a fantastic product, I will keep telling people about it.

I was in intensive care on a ventilator 2 weeks ago. I had experienced massive blood loss and after leaving hospital my body was slow to heal – hair loss, memory loss, low energy and immune system was weak. I was introduced to spirulina and within 2 weeks new hair was growing and I began to heal. My digestion improved – I went from strength to strength, that was 5 years ago. Since then I’ve introduced my children, my mother who suffered hair loss and age related problems. My 80 year old uncle swears by it!

I realised recently that I suffer from depression and a friend put me on to Spirulina. After 2 days my energy is back and no depression. My left hand and left brain function improved dramatically – I can now go back to painting, decorating and drumming.

After taking Spirulina for 1 year, I was told by my naturopath I had the highest iron count he had ever seen in a vegetarian.

Living a very hectic lifestyle travelling etc. internationally almost every 2nd week, establishing a new international airline. Spirulina has given me the energy to maintain a focus and pace that is unbelievable. On the rare occasions I forget to take the tablets, I notice the difference.

Several years ago I had gone through a few dramatic changes in my life and was lacking in energy. It didn’t matter how much sleep I got, what foods I ate – I was depleted. I discovered spirulina in a health food store and everything changed. My energy levels rose and I lost weight! I love spirulina.

I find spirulina necessary as I am a vegan and it gives me the necessary nutrients such as B12 that I need every day. I am 65 years old and have taken it for years.

I wanted to congratulate you on your great product – Spirulina.
Since I started taking it three months ago, I have had excellent results;  my weight has levelled off, and my energy has increased to what they used to be 10 years ago when I was 22.  I rock climb 3 times a week and my workouts can last longer and my muscles are recovering much faster than they used to. I have also stopped craving a lot of snacks between meals as the spirulina seems to keep me satisfied longer.  I highly recommend this product to anyone wishing to increase the general well being.  Thanks again.
