Spirulina is simply the world’s most digestible natural source of high quality protein, far surpassing the protein bio availability of even beef ( which most people consider to be th e #1 source of protein ). The digestive absorption o f each gram of protein in spirulina is four times greater than the same gram of protein in beef. And since spirulina already contains three times more protein
( by weight ) to begin with, the net result is that ,
ounce for ounce, spirulina offers twelve times more digestible protein than beef.
That’s an astounding difference.

It means that spirulina is the ideal food source for people working to get more protein into their diets :
• People on low-carb, high-protein diets.
• People who exercise vigorously or engage in strength training.

In fact, there’s probably no better single food source on the planet than spirulina for these people. The protein found in spirulina is also a complete protein, meaning that it contains all eight essential amino acids, unlike beans, whole grains and other plant- based foods that typically lack one or more amino acids.

The most powerful foods on earth are Spirulina Plantensis and Chlorella Pyrenoidosa. They complement one another in many ways because they are completely different foods with different nutrients. Spirulina is an extremely pure food, 95% digestible, extremely high in the Vitamin B-complex, iron, calcium and essential fatty acids such as Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is excellent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or bursitis. Spirulina is an excellent food to consume before a workout because of the explosive energy it provides to the body.
ReplyDeleteChlorella has incredible anti-cancer properties. Its unique fiber is great for the digestion (make sure the cell walls are broken) as well as heavy metal and synthetic toxin removal. It has large amounts of nucleic acids (RNA/DNA), which, along with amino acids (protein), are the building blocks of our cells. Chlorella can even be used topically on cuts, scrapes, infections, even serious wounds, as can Spirulina.
Spirulina and Chlorella are perfect whole foods, true superfoods. They have perfect compliments of protein (60%) carbohydrates (19%), fats (6%) bio-available minerals (8%). They are not extracts, concentrates or amalgams of vitamins and minerals that look good on paper such as the vitamin and mineral supplements that people generally believe to be healthy. In reality, the body does not absorb 90% of these vitamin supplements because they are dead, void of enzymes. On the other hand, eating Spirulina or Chlorella is like eating any other whole food such as a banana, apple or broccoli.
