Spirulina, a blue-green cyanobacteria micro-algae, this superfood dates back over 3 billion years and is the most well known of these algaes.  A potent nutrient-dense whole food, spirulina is over 60% protein, and is a complete protein, supplying all eight essential amino acids.  It is low in fat, but does contain vital essential fatty acids, including very high amounts of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA is a hormone precursor, and is found conducive to healthy heart functioning and circulation.  It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which are beneficial for skin and hair.  

GREEN POWER is highly digestible and assimilable. Its primitive cell wall contains no cellulose but soft mucopolysaccharides. This makes it a valuable food source for those with digestive difficulties. Its high protein content is therefore easily available as real nourishment. Dieters value spirulina for its low fat, sugar, and calories, while feeling physically and nutritionally satisfied.

Most of the important essential vitamins we need are found in spirulina, and these include the entire B-complex range, Vitamin E, and beta-carotene.  Spirulina, in fact, is particularly rich in vitamin B-12, providing an excellent source of B12 for vegetarians.  Spirulina is also rich in minerals, including iron, calcium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, and trace minerals.  The form of iron found in spirulina is readily assimilable.  It is also rich in enzymes, chlorophyll, DNA, RNA, sulfolipids, and glycolipids.

Research studies have shown that Spirulina has many beneficial, disease-preventing properties. Spirulina has been found to stimulate the immune system function and help the body to produce new blood cells. Spirulina’s dark blue-green color comes from a rainbow of pigments. Phycocyanin is widely known as a blood builder also shows potent anti-viral activity and anti-cancer properties.  Other pigments include the green in high levels of Chlorophyll and the oranges and yellows stored in the Carotenoids and Beta-Carotene.  The low Pheophorbides in our Spirulina make it the greenest!

According to many experts, it is the world’s highest source of chlorophyll, at over 2 percent. Chlorophyll is well-known as a stimulator of red cell formation in the blood—it is therefore a blood-builder.  Chlorophyll has been known to strengthen the immune system, speeding the healing process, cleansing the bloodstream, liver, and bowel. Its cleansing and sterilizing action makes it a natural body deodorant.

A super-protein source, at 60%, Chlorella contains all essential amino acids and fatty acids, is rich in the B-complex vitamins, especially B-12, and in vitamins C, E, K, and beta-carotene. Its rich mineral content includes iron, zinc, iodine, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, manganese, copper, cobalt, and germanium. Chlorella is also rich in the nucleic acids RNA and DNA. Chlorella’s 3% RNA and 0.3% DNA content makes it one of the highest-known food sources for nucleic acids.  Nucleic acids are very beneficial in the repair of damaged genetic material in cells, in maintaining health and in slowing down the aging process.  Chlorella assists the body at the cellular level thereby raising the body’s energy level and vitality.

Chlorella contains a substance unique to itself called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). Some say this is chlorella’s most important factor in its amazing healing properties. CGF is a physiologically activating substance containing complex nucleotide peptides, amino acids, polysaccharides, and other derivatives. It has been shown to dramatically accelerate growth in organisms and promote the healing of damaged tissue.

Other known properties of Chlorella are: strong detoxifying properties.  Studies show it can neutralize and remove poisonous substances, such as heavy metals, dioxin and PCBs, from the body.  It has also been found helpful in assisting the body’s resistance to radiation.  In addition, Chlorella has been shown to aid in healthy liver functioning and improve digestion by stimulating the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.

What makes the GREEN POWER stand out from the rest of the supplement in the market aside from being 100% Certified Organic. 

The USDA NOP still allows for the use of 20% Chilean Nitrate.  We strive to meet the global demand for a truly Organic Spirulina so we use only Certified Organic Nitrogen Source without the use of any Chilean Nitrate.  Our Spirulina is the only Spirulina that is USP Verified, which means it has received US Pharmacopeia authorization to carry that verification mark.  It is also Certified Organic by Institut of Markokologie (IMO), Switzerland as per USDA NOP.  In addition, our Spirulina has a unique advantage of being grown in an algal facility that is Certified HACCP.  It is also Certified Kosher.

Synthetic versus Natural: 

Most vitamin supplements found in drug and health food stores do not contain vitamins that are truly natural, but are synthesized predominantly from petrochemicals and less frequently from plants.

There is much controversy concerning the body’s reaction to synthetic vs. natural vitamin supplements. Many believe that the small differences between synthetic and natural are of no consequence. However, clinical evidence and several studies indicate that the body detects the difference and that natural forms of vitamins including A, B-complex, C, D, and E are more easily absorbed by the body and have a more profound effect on deficiencies and disease than synthetics.
