S
is a bluegreen Cyanobacterium.
It does not have a cell wall so it can be broken down
easily and optimise digestion which can consume up to
15% of our energy.
p i
r ulina
With 64% it has the highest protein concentration in
the plant world. It is a complete protein source, meaning
it contains all of the essential amino acids for adults
and children, so they can be absorbed quickly and entirely
by the body.
In 1974 the UN global summit therefore declared the alga
the answer to world hunger.
Spirulina contians a lot of Omega 3, many minerals and
40 vitamins, especially all B vitamins that convert
glucose into energy.
The alga also helps the body release nitrodioxyde that
smoothens muscles. This improves the vessel diameter
- the variation in cerebral blood volume - so oxygen
can get to the brain quickly. It also contains 28,5 mg of
iron, carrying oxygen in our blood.
Spirulina therefore is a real booster giving
fast energy within 5-20 min.
It helps with fatigue, facilitates decision making, increases
speed of thought, mental focus and coordination.
Consume it in the morning and as a snack.
According to NASA 1kg equals
1000 bags of vegetables and
fruit with regards to vitamins
and minerals, essential
proteins.
is green and technically a plant.
It has the hardest cellulose wall on earth
and therefore attaches to toxins like heavy metals,
pesticides, radioactive elements and lactic
acids (athletes use it a lot),
detoxing the body.
Within 2 h it will make you sober, pulling out
alcohol.
Consume it at night to support the brain
washing out toxic particles
while sleeping.
The alga also has the highest amount of chlorophyl
in the plant world which is the most
important nutrient of green plants.
Building the immune system, helping skin and
hair health.
Also it contains the highest tryptophan level
in the world, an aminoacid precursor to serotonin
(happyness hormone) and melatonin (sleep
hormone).
Chlorella as well contains a lot of protein
with 50-60%, in form of all essential amino acids.

D
is a red saltwater alga
It is the richest organism of carotenoids such as
ß-carotene in the plant kingdom.
This element inhibts or prevents various types of
tumours including skin cancers such as melanoma,
epidermoid cancers of head and neck, cancers of the
gastrointestinal tract, carcinomas of secretary glands
such as pancreas, breast cancer and nerve cell cancer.
It also minimalizes radiation damage.
The alga enhances immunity and prevents and
treats a variety of degenerative deseases.
By controlling cholesterol levels it protects
from cardiovascular disease such as myocardial
infarction and angina pectoris as well as from coronary
heart disease.
It is well known that β-carotene is oxidized by liver
enzymes to produce vitamin A, which is necessary for
the proper functioning of vision. It also prevents arthrosis.

is a red sweetwater alga
It is the largest natural source of astaxanthin
which due to its special structure,
has the ability to cross the blood-brain
barrier.
It is anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial
and antioxidant. It protects the middle
of the brain and the inside of the eyes
from oxidative effects, enhancing vision.
Haematococcus also protects the skin from
UV rays, enhancing pigmentation, preventing
the signs of aging or having a positive effect
on the existing ones.
It decreases arterial blood pressure, and
boosts immune response as well as reproductive
behavior.
