What is Spirulina?

Spirulina is a form of blue-green algae that grows in both fresh- and saltwater.  It’s also commercially produced for use in food and supplements.  It is often confused with chlorella, but the fundamental difference between the two is that spirulina does not possess the hard cell wall that makes chlorella difficult to break down compared to the Spirulina algae. Spirulina is a great source of all the basic nutrients you need such as protein, vitamins and minerals and high in chlorophyll.  Research suggests that spirulina has antioxidant and inflammation-fighting properties, as well as the ability to help regulate the immune system. What’s more, it’s a good source of healthy polyunsaturated fats and the antioxidants C-phycocyanin and beta carotene. As a supplement, Spirulina is touted for its antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and cholesterol-lowering potential. 

 Use & Benefits:

Chlorophyll
Spirulina is high in chlorophyll, which is the pigment that gives green plants their colour.  Chlorophyll is often referred to as “green blood” due to its oxygen potential.  Chlorophyll is also thought to have remarkable cleansing and alkalising properties to assists in the removal of toxins from the body. 

Antioxidant-Rich
Spirulina is rich in vitamins A and C, which act as antioxidants.  These vitamins help fight off free radicals that can damage your body.  They help carry free radicals out of the body and lower your health risk. 

Better Digestion
Spirulina is a great source of dietary fibre.  The soluble and insoluble fibre that Spirulina provides helps digestion in two ways:  First, insoluble fibre feeds the “good bacteria” living in your gut, helping you digest food efficiently and keeping your intestines healthy.  Second, soluble dietary fibre helps your stomach absorb sugar more slowly, keeping your blood sugar and cholesterol levels lower. 

Bone Health
Calcium is the main building block of bones, and having a good source of calcium in your diet is vital for bone health. The calcium found in Spirulina can help prevent or reverse osteoporosis.  It can also help keep your teeth healthy.
