Product information "Spirulina powder Hawaii"
Spirulina powder - the high quality original from Hawaii
What is Spirulina?
Spirulina is a unicellular, thread-like blue algae and one of the first life forms on this planet. Richer in high-quality protein (contains 18 amino acids) than any other food, the microalga also has an abundance of vitamins, minerals, important antioxidants such as SOD and phycocyanin, polysaccharides and the rare gamma-linolenic acid.
Spirulina is at the forefront of the nutritional revolution. With its rich composition and the ability to grow even under unfavorable conditions, the microalgae has great potential to become a food source that will help feed the world's population. When we integrate spirulina into our diet, we are helping to resolve the food crisis.
Effects of spirulina on health?
Spirulina is a valuable food. The alga is incredibly rich, a "whole food". It is believed that it contains all the vital substances that the human body needs. The high density of vital substances brings vitality and well-being. The antioxidants can intercept free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds, so they are important for the maintenance and function of the cell.
The detailed nutritional values are given below.
What makes our spirulina powder special?
Our Spirulina Pacifica has been cultivated in Hawaii for over 25 years and is considered one of the highest quality spirulina in the world. The spirulina is dried very gently in a special, oxygen-free drying system so that more nutrients and enzymes are retained - e.g. over 40% more ß-carotene and over 75% more zeaxanthin - than is possible with other conventional drying systems.
Spirulina Pacifica is grown in 20 cm deep, open ponds, a few hundred meters from the Pacific. To fill the ponds, fresh water is mixed with sea water from a depth of 600 m, which is rich in minerals and trace elements. The other quantitatively most important substances for cultivation are baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) in food quality and carbon dioxide. Food grade fertilizers are also used. Paddle wheels move the water to provide the algae with even exposure to sunlight for optimal growth conditions and nutrient uptake.
The Hawaiian spirulina is grown without pesticides and herbicides and does not contain any genetically modified organisms.
Our Spirulina is called Spirulina Pacifica and is a selected strain of Spirulina platensis, which has developed over many years of cultivation in Hawaii. Spirulina Pacifica has been extensively analyzed by molecular biologists from the University of Hawaii. They identified new enzymes that were not found in other Spirulina platensis strains.
Tips for use in everyday diet
Most often the powder is mixed with fruit and vegetable juices. Spring water is also very good and promotes maximum absorption. Spirulina can also be added to food like a spice to avoid loss of nutrients if it is only slightly heated.
Spirulina has a unique taste that mixes well with almost anything. If you are not used to the taste of green foods, it may take some getting used to at first.
If you find that your energy levels are running low as the day progresses, take some spirulina with water and watch your body feel 1-2 hours later. You will be amazed.
Consumption recommendations
Beginners and children: 1-2 g per day
Adults: up to 3g per day
It is advisable to start with 1 teaspoon (5 g) or a little less and gradually increase the intake up to 10 g (1 heaped tablespoon) to avoid indigestion. Taking 1 teaspoon an hour before meals can curb appetite.
The dry powder absorbs water from the air, so the package should be tightly closed and stored in a cool, dry and dark place
Complementary product recommendations
We recommend taking spirulina together with chlorella in a ratio of 2:1.
