What
is Spirulina?
It is a microscopic algae in the shape of a spiral. The first photosynthetic
life form, it is our immortal ancestor, designed by nature over 3.5
billion years ago. These blue-green algae produced the oxygen in our
atmosphere allowing all higher lifeforms to evolve.
 Spirulina’s
superior nutrition and easy digestibility, makes it an excellent natural
food for everybody. It supports the 6 most important health goals of
today. These are:
- Strengthening the immune system
- Supporting cardiovascular health and
lowering cholesterol
- Improving gastrointestinal and digestive
health
- Enhancing natural cleansing and detoxification
- Controlling weight

The Safer
Alternative
Spirulina is unique among blue-algae because it has a long history of
safe use. The Aztecs consumed Spirulina in Mexico over five hundred
years ago. In fact, the UN and the WHO recommend Spirulina as safe and
nutritious even for children.
Rainbow
Warrior
Nature’s packaging has a unique story to tell that is far
more interesting and healthy than any advertising slogan. You just
have to know how to read it.
Spirulina’s dark color comes from a rainbow of natural pigments.
They harvest sunlight at different wavelengths and protect from
too much sun. These pigments offer unusual health benefits and help
synthesize enzymes necessary for regulating body metabolism. They
are chlorophyll (green), carotenoids (yellow and orange) and phycocyanin
(blue), the dominant color. |
What is phycocyanin?
This protein complex is about 15% of Spirulina. Phycocyanin is a type
of blue pigment found only in blue-green algae. It evolved a billion
years before chlorophyll.
A Taste Of Sunshine
These tiny green spiral coils harvest the energy of the sun. Blue green
algae produced the oxygen in the atmosphere that allowed higher life
forms to evolve. This immortal life form has renewed itself for billions
of years.
