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