Spirulina – The Superfood Legend
Spirulina is a blue-green microalga that has been around for millions of years. Spirulina is one of nature’s most nutritious superfoods. Ecologically grown Spirulina contains one of the highest densities of protein found in any food, offers more beta-carotene than carrots, more iron than raw spinach, and more calcium than milk on gram per gram basis.

Benefits of Spirulina
- Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory
Spirulina contains phytonutrients that have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. These antioxidants support cellular health by protecting cells from the damaging effects of reactive oxygen radicals. (Gemma et al., 2002; Belay, 2002, Gershwin & Belay 2007)
- Brain Health
Spirulina may prevent the loss of memory by lessening Aβ protein accumulation, reducing oxidative damage and mainly augmenting the catalase activity. (1) In contrast to simple antioxidants, which can only neutralize single free radicals before becoming inactive, catalase and glutathione peroxidase can continue neutralizing free radicals for as long as they are provided with the proper vitamins and minerals.(2) This makes these enzymes much more powerful than individual antioxidants. (3)
- Cardiovascular Health
Scientific evidence shows that Spirulina supports a healthy cardiovascular system, and protects from oxidative stress.
- Cellular Health
Free radicals can cause damage to parts of cells such as proteins, DNA, and cell membranes by stealing their electrons through a process called oxidation. Antioxidants in spirulina such as Phycocyanin can help fight free radicals in the body.
- Eye Health
Spirulina contains 15x more Vitamin A (Beta-carotene) than carrots Vitamin A nourishes the cornea and helps produce moisture for your eyes Spirulina contains nutrients such as Essential Amino Acids, & Zinc which may help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration & cataracts. Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children worldwide. (11)
- Immune Support
Several animal and human studies have shown that spirulina supports immune function. In particular, Spirulina has been shown to promotes innate (inborn) immunity, the body’s first line of defense. In this regard it promotes macrophage function, T-cell proliferation and Natural Killer Cell activity. It is also important in the regulation of antibody production (acquired immunity). (Mao et al., 2005; Hirahashi et al., 2002; Belay, 2002, Gershwin & Belay, 2007)
