Have you heard of spirulina, a superfood rich in chlorophyll and phycocyanin?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Spirulina is an algae known to inhabit planet Earth for 3.5 million years. It is a blue-green algae that grows in both fresh and salt water, in a moderate temperature environment and exposed to large amounts of sunlight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Its distinct blue-green color is given by green chlorophyll and blue phycocyanin,<\/strong> due to which in the process of photosynthesis spirulina produces large amounts of oxygen needed by humans and other living beings for life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Chlorophyll as plant “blood”<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n

Chlorophyll is the same in plants as hemoglobin in humans<\/strong> and is often called plant blood. It behaves like hemoglobin in the body and therefore promotes the treatment of anaemia<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Chlorophyll as a molecule has a pronounced chelation ability.<\/strong> It is the process of binding heavy metal atoms<\/strong> to complex organic compounds such as chlorophyll.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
Detoxifying abilities<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n

Chlorophyll has the ability to bind and remove heavy metals like mercury<\/em><\/strong> from the body and that makes it a powerful cleanser and detoxifier.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n

In addition to chlorophyll, spirulina contains other plant pigments, phycocyanin and carotenoids.<\/strong> It contains as much as 10 times more beta carotene than carrots. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
Phycocyanin<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n

that is found in spirulina has a strong immunostimulatory<\/strong> and anticancer<\/strong> effect<\/strong> and is the most powerful antioxidant<\/strong> in it.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Spirulina is rich in iron and calcium, <\/strong>it also contains chromium, iodine, copper, potassium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, zinc and sodium. It is also a good source of vitamins A, B6, B1, C and D.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It contains all the essential amino acids<\/strong> that make it a complete protein. <\/strong>It is also a source of essential fatty acids.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Spirulina has been scientifically proven to be a superfood because it has a beneficial effect on:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n
