Spirulina is a microscopic algae that grows in the waters of the lakes of Africa and Central and South America. It contains up to 60% protein. It is a source of natural iodine, selenium, iron, valuable B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12), and unsaturated fatty acids, including gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The protein in its composition consists of as many as 18 amino acids, of which 8 of them are esogenic amino acids, i.e. those that are not produced by the body and must be supplied with food. Protein is involved in maintaining muscle mass, convalescence, adequate blood sugar regulation and in maintaining healthy bones. Due to its high-quality protein, spirulina is popular in vegan and vegetarian diets.
Iron, whose source is spirulina, plays a role in the body's transport of oxygen to cells. It also participates in the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. It also supports the proper functioning of the immune system and can help to reduce fatigue. It is worth to remember that product derived from this alga is better absorbed than that of animal origin. This is due to the structure of phycocyanins, which are able to form complexes with iron.
Iodine is involved in the maintenance of normal cognitive functions, the functioning of the nervous system, and also helps to maintain healthy skin. Iodine also contributes to the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. Selenium helps to maintain healthy hair and nails, in the proper functioning of the immune system, the thyroid gland and in protecting cells from oxidative stress. Gamma linolenic acid has a positive effect on normal blood pressure, has anti-inflammatory effects, has a positive effect on the appearance of hair, skin and nails, and supports immunity.
Vitamin B6, which is found in spirulina, helps maintain normal energy metabolism and helps in the proper production of red blood cells. It helps to reduce tiredness and helps to maintain normal psychological functions. Vitamin B12 helps in the functioning of the nervous and immune systems. It helps to maintain normal energy metabolism and also reduces the feeling of tiredness and fatigue.
Spirulina has two types of pigments, green chlorophyll, blue phycocyanin and such oxidants as beta carotene and vitamin E. Thanks to it, it has antioxidant and body cleansing properties. Anyoxidacin works by removing free radicals from the body and protecting cells. Thanks to this, it can slow down the aging process of the body.
