• Helps the body produce more red and white blood cells which kill germs and viruses.
• Improves allergies and respiratory function.
• Heart disease is currently the world’s biggest killer. It is known that many measurable factors, termed risk factors, are linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Spirulina has been shown to have beneficial effects on many of them. For example, it can lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while raising HDL (the “good”) cholesterol. A study in people with high cholesterol found that 1 gram of spirulina per day lowered triglycerides by 16.3% and LDL by 10.1%.
• Spirulina has MORE antioxidants than blueberries, more iron than spinach and vitamin A than carrots. 3,100% more beta-carotene (Vit. A) than carrots. 5,500% more iron than spinach. 600% more protein than tofu. 280% more antioxidant potency than blueberries.
• Complete source of protein, vitamins and minerals in a natural, easily digestible form.
• Can help increase the effectiveness and absorption of pharmaceutical medication and supplements, studies have shown successes with ARVs (anti-retroviral).
• Taking spirulina as a food supplement helps your body to absorb the nutrients more efficiently from the other foods you eat.

Beauty Specific Benefits

• Spirulina has a high content of vitamin A, vitamin B-12, vitamin E, calcium, iron and phosphorus, all of which are vital for your skin’s health.
• Spirulina is effective in treating dark circles and dry eye symptoms.
• Its detoxifying effects give your eyes new energy and power, removing dark shadows and dryness.
• Spirulina contains tyrosine, vitamin E or tocopherol, and selenium, all of which are known for their anti-ageing effects. Tyrosine slows down the ageing of skin cells. The antioxidants present in it eliminate free radicals which are responsible for skin ageing. 
• Spirulina facilitates faster cell turnover that helps skin heal faster. It wards off free radicals and eliminates toxins from the skin to increase skin metabolism. It also prevents candida overgrowth that can cause acne breakouts.
• External use of Spirulina can speed up hair growth.
• Users of spirulina often notice increased nail and hair strength and reduced breakage.
• Chlorophyll is great with burns, nicks, and inflammation, chlorophyll helps prevent scarring and infections by killing germs. Because of its amazing germ killing action (technically it’s creating an environment that is inhospitable to the growth of bacteria) it’s also great for helping fight breakouts. Pimples are little sacks of oil, dead skin, and bacteria. By making acne bacteria know that it’s unwelcome and by cutting down on inflammation, chlorophyll can help stop breakouts or make them clear up faster.
• Chlorophyll has a molecular structure that’s almost identical to haemoglobin (you know, those red blood cells that transport oxygen to your blood) except for the center atom. In haemoglobin, the center atom is iron but in chlorophyll, it’s magnesium. This is great news for your skin (and overall body) since magnesium is something our bodies absolutely need – more than 300 enzymes in our body requires magnesium to work – but many of us are deficient in it. Magnesium helps to get oxygen to all your cells and tissues and it is necessary for the metabolism of vitamin C, a crucial skin vitamin. By giving your body what it needs, you’re setting the stage for it to give you what you want: healthy, glowing skin.
• Sun damage and oxidization are the main causes of wrinkles. Chlorophyll is chock-a-block with skin-protecting antioxidants, and natural sunscreen.
• Vitamin A, C, E and K are great for wrinkle reduction, brown spots and smoothing the rough patches. And guess what? Whether you drink or apply directly, spirulina is filled with all four. If you want to keep your bright-eyes then vitamin K is a must.
