Spirulina is the most nutritious whole food on the planet. It is a rich source of potassium, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, sodium and zinc. It is known to increase energy levels.

 

What is it

Spirulina contains about 60% complete protein containing all essential amino acids, though with reduced amounts of methionine, cysteine and lysine when compared to the proteins of meat, eggs and milk. It is, however, superior to typical plant protein, such as that from legumes.

Spirulina is a microscopic spiral shaped, blue-green vegetable algae. It has been used as a significant food source for centuries. Spirulina is highly digestible and the most nutritious, concentrated whole- food known to humankind. It is nature's richest whole-food source of complete protein. Rich in GLA, it also contains important B complexes including bio-available B12 and other essential organic, whole-food minerals and trace elements.

Spirulina is also a source of potassium, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, sodium and zinc.

 

What are its health benefits

Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of naturally occurring organic iron. It's 58 times richer in iron than raw spinach and 28 times richer than raw beef liver. Spirulina is nature's richest source of beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A), it's 25 times higher than raw carrots!

You’ve heard the recommendation that we should eat five servings of fresh fruit and vegetables a day. This can be hard to achieve in real life. That’s where powerful supplements come in and help us maintain optimal health and wellbeing.

Phytonutrients are natural chemicals found in plants. They differ from essential vitamins and minerals that we need to keep us alive.

Just try adding spirulina in tablet or powder form into your daily regime and experience the different effect of green superfoods to synthetic supplements.

Mountain Organic SPIRULINA contains NO dairy, NO gluten, NO animal products, NO chemicals, NO pollutants, NO Genetically Modified Organisms and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans

How does it work

Spirulina (arthrospira platensis) is an algae that grows naturally in soda lakes in equatorial regions, and grown using aquaculture for human consumption. The spirulina is grown in shallow ponds in freshwater made alkaline by the addition of soda, this alkaline environment only allows the spirulina to thrive. When mature the spirulina is gathered from the ponds and dried, and supplied to you in powder and tablet form – nothing added and nothing taken away except the moisture.

Spirulina contains many pigments which may be beneficial, including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, chlorophyll-a, xanthophyll, plus the phycobiliprotein c-phycocyanin.

MORE INFORMATION

Our recommendations for spirulina usage come from our 20 years of experience and the results of peer reviewed research. There are no hard and fast rules regarding spirulina usage, it's safe in small or large quantities, and each individual will have a different requirement and preference. Just use the information below as a guide and experiment!

Unlike synthetic vitamin supplements, spirulina is a whole food, and as such is not consumed in small one or two tablet serves.

We also recommend that if you are new to spirulina, and perhaps not used to a lot of greens in your diet, you try half serves for the first few days and perhaps have it after food rather than on an empty stomach. A good time to use spirulina is after breakfast, then again mid afternoon.

Most people report increased energy levels after their systems adjust. You may take your spirulina all at once or more than once a day. Some people like to take it an hour before eating to satisfy their appetite.

Those with difficulty sleeping may wish to take their spirulina in the morning, rather than the evening, since the high protein content tends to wake you up.

For convenience and a quick nutritional boost any time, our tablets can be carried in a purse, backpack or suitcase. Keep some at home and some at work. Mountain Organic SPIRULINA can go everywhere with you. A serve is six tablets, but you may prefer to use a bit less. Spirulina is a dry food so don't forget to drink plenty of water.

Kids and pets like to suck the tablets like lollies for the smooth buttery taste, then wash the dark green (chlorophyll) down with a big glass of water or juice.

PURE POWDER

Mountain Organic SPIRULINA Powder is 100% pure and can be shaken into fruit juice in any closeable container such as a drink bottle, blended with fruit or stirred into yoghurt. It's delicious!

For a simple Spirulina super-shake, just pour some juice into a container that can be sealed – even a jam jar, then add a heaped teaspoon of Spirulina powder (keep the spoon dry!) put the lid on and shake briefly. Spirulina will not dissolve, it just goes into suspension, so if after a while the Spirulina falls to the bottom, just give it another shake.

Powder can be shaken into fruit juice, blended with fruit (try ripe papaya with a dash of lime) or stirred into yoghurt, taken like this it tastes great!
