Spirulina

Super Food: Spirulina
Did you know:
- One tablespoon of Spirulina contains 9.8 grams of protein, 1.5 grams of fat and 3.8
grams of complex carbohydrates?
- Spirulina contains up to 13% essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium,
potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin B complex and antioxidants?
- Spirulina contains more beta-carotene than any other food, as much as 25 times more
than carrots?
- Spirulina contains 11 vitamins, 10 minerals and 18 amino acids?
- Spirulina is composed of more than 60% protein? Compare this with meat (27%) or soy
(34%)
- Spirulina contains 12 times more bioavailable protein than steak? Proteins from
Spirulina are therefore much better absorbed than proteins from steak
- Spirulina is a rich source of antioxidants? Important for good health and long life.
- Spirulina contains phycocyanin, a rare blue pigment unique to Spirulina? Phycocyanin
stimulates the immune system and is a powerful antioxidant.

balance?
And there are more points to write down, but I think this is enough to convince you
Chances are quite high that you have never heard of spirulina. It's a very exotic
superfood and therefore not found in the regular supermarket. Not yet, anyway. Because
it is considered by the experts to be the superfood of all superfoods and truly food of the
Gods.
Spirulina is a superfood made from algae, a so-called blue-green algae. It is a single-
celled organism called cyanobacteria and is technically not actually an alga but a
bacterium. But this is an unimportant detail, all you need to know is that Spirulina is
incredibly good for you.
Spirulina is rich in vitamins, minerals and protein and contains all the essential amino
acids unlike what you usually hear about plant-based protein sources. These properties
are very important for your immune system, general health and even muscle building.
Aztec
Of course, the fact that spirulina is still so unknown here in our country doesn't mean
that it itself has only been known for a short time. In fact, the opposite is true!
Indigenous peoples from all over the world have known for centuries that it is a
superfood.
The Aztecs of Central America gave their warriors spirulina before going into battle. It
gave them extra stamina and strength so they could go on longer and defeat the enemy.
Oldest life form
If we look at the biology, spirulina is one of the oldest life forms on our planet. The alga
originated about 3.6 billion years ago at a time when the only life forms on Earth were
single-celled organisms such as bacteria.
Spirulina, however, remains highly related to a plant-like organism which is why
researchers have determined that it was one of the ﬁrst plant forms on our earth.
Spirulina has always adapted well through evolution and is very common in certain
areas.
Spirulina grows naturally in mineral-rich lakes such as those found on the various
continents. The greatest concentrations of naturally occurring spirulina today are found
in Lake Texcoco in Mexico, around Lake Chad in Central Africa and along the Great Rift
Valley in East Africa.
However, most commercial spirulina today is grown in special outdoor tanks in parts of
North America and Asia.
What makes Spirulina so healthy?
Spirulina contains as many as eleven diﬀerent vitamins, making it a real vitamin bomb.
Here is a list of which vitamins it contains:

You can see that most of the vitamins are high dosed.
The best thing about these vitamins is that they are extremely well absorbed by the
body. In any case, many times better than the synthetic vitamins, or vitamin pills that
are for sale in the drugstore, for example. This fact alone makes Spirulina very valuable.
Spirulina is also full of antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids, both very important
substances as you have already read in other articles on our website.
To top it off, Spirulina is also a full source of protein with all the essential amino acids. A
very good source of protein for vegetarians and indispensable for (vegetarian) athletes.

Where to buy Spirulina?
Spirulina is not a product that you just come across. I have never seen it in the Albert
Heijn supermarket, so it is mainly available in specialized stores in your town or on the
Internet.
It's not the cheapest product ever, but definitely worth trying!
Conclusion
To conclude, here are a few interesting facts about Spirulina that indicate how powerful
and valuable Spirulina really is.
It is clear: have you tried many different vitamin pills and extra healthy foods, but you
still don't feel your best? Then Spirulina could be the super food you have been looking
for for a long time.
And whether you have tried everything or nothing, Spirulina is truly the super food of
super foods and well worth a try.
But if your health is important to you, then I recommend you definitely Spirulina!
