Does Spirulina protect from oxidative stress? |
| |
Yes. Most antioxidants you are familiar with - vitamins such as E or C,
selenium, and most phytonutrients such as those in tea, or red wine - act
as scavengers of oxidant molecules; they try to clean up oxidizing free
radicals after they have been created. Spirulina's super blue protein,
phycocyanin, is different. Although it is an efficient scavenger of oxidants,
Spirulina, phycocyanin, and it's' component phycocyanobilin, (like their
chemical relatives hemoglobin, bilirubin and biliverdin), affect some of
the major sources of oxidant stress.* Visualize a faucet stuck open;
water fills the basin splashing onto the floor. Think of the water
on the floor as oxidant stress; pouring, filling and overflowing our
cells. Most antioxidants act like mops - though typically each antioxidant
can work on only part of the "floor". In contrast, Spirulina simply shuts
off the faucet, and mops up the spills!

Can Spirulina give me more energy? |

Consumers say it helps them feel more energetic. Spirulina is
not a stimulant and is low in calories. Try it and feel what
others are saying.
|
| 7. |
How much Spirulina should I take and when? |
| |
The answer may not be the same for everyone. A human clinical study
suggests just two grams per day may provide significant benefits. Three
grams per day provides 100% of the RDA of Vitamin A in the form of
beta-carotene. Human clinical studies indicate six (6) grams per day
may provide increased protection from oxidant stress*. Spirulina should
be used as part of a balanced diet. More than 30 grams per day may
result in dietary imbalances. Take Spirulina with or between meals.
|
| 8. |
Can I take Spirulina with other supplements? |
| |
YES! Especially with other natural antioxidants, probiotics and Omega-3s.
|
| 9. |
When purchasing Spirulina, what factors should I consider? |
| |
A- American grown to assure safety. B- The Phycocyanin (super blue protein) content.
C-Glass or PETE packaging to assure freshness and optimum nutritional potential.
|

How does Spirulina differ from Chlorella? |
| |
Spirulina is more digestible than Chlorella and Spirulina contains the blue protein phycocyanin. Much more published scientific and clinical evidence supports the use of Spirulina compared to Chlorella. Both Spirulina and Chlorella are good for detox and cleansing*. In addition, Spirulina has been determined to be generally recognized as safe through scientific procedures with FDA review. Chlorella does not enjoy that status.
