Pure Planet Hawaiian Spirulina

Spirulina is a remarkable micro-algae that supplies a wealth of concentrated vegetable nutrition. It is one of the richest sources of complete protein, with three times as much protein as beef. It provides the highest levels of beta-carotene, with a full spectrum of ten mixed carotenoids, providing good antioxidant protection. Spirulina is also an excellent source of B-complex vitamins, iron, and trace minerals, and it contains an astonishing 1% by weight of the rare essential fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic acid).

Spirulina can support and improve health in a myriad of ways, as evidenced by hundreds of published studies conducted over the past 20 years. It balances and strengthens the immune system, helps enhance cardiovascular health, suppresses harmful bacteria and stimulates beneficial microflora, and increases absorption of nutrients and promotes digestion and bowel function. Its antioxidant properties enable it to help reduce cancer risk. And it helps with weight control, allergies, visual problems, carbohydrate disorders, anemia, and many other conditions.

The unique combination of phytonutrients in spirulina—including chlorophyll (green pigment), phycocyanin (blue pigment), and polysaccharides—can also help cleanse the body of accumulated toxins. Spirulina has long been known to accelerate detoxification during fasting and cleansing, and it has been shown to significantly reduce kidney toxicity caused by mercury and some pharmaceutical drugs.

Plant compounds called glycolipids and sulfolipids present in spirulina also seem to prevent viruses from attaching to or penetrating cells, and help prevent viral infection. Spirulina contains 5-8% lipids, 40% of which are these two types of compounds. New research has confirmed that spirulina extracts in vitro can inhibit replication of the HIV virus.

In summary, the numerous benefits of spirulina include:

• Serves as a rich source of complete protein
• Provides highest levels of beta-carotene of any food
• Contains significant amounts of GLA
• Balances and strengthens the immune system
• Enhances cardiovascular health
• Promotes digestion and bowel function
• Possesses strong antioxidant properties
• Accelerates detoxification processes
• Inhibits replication of the HIV virus in vitro

The concentrated nutrition in spirulina is highly absorbable. Because this type of micro-algae came into existence a billion years before plants evolved indigestible cellulose to protect their cells, spirulina has soft cell walls and is 95% digestible. It is thus particularly recommended for people with poor digestion or malabsorption problems, or for older people with restricted diets.

As it is a cultured algae, our spirulina is uni-algal, meaning that only one type of algae is harvested and there is no contamination by any potentially harmful strains. And our certified organic spirulina is cultured with only naturally occurring nutrients.

Grown in Hawaii, this spirulina is nourished by deep ocean water that provides high levels of magnesium and calcium and contains over 90 trace elements. This exceptionally clean water is pulled from a depth of 2000 feet, and has not been in contact with the atmosphere for over 2500 years.
