Description: Vital-18 is a type of blue-green algae that is rich in nutrients, including B vitamins, beta carotene, and vitamin E. It is cultivated for use both as a dietary supplement and as a whole food. Spirulina is a good source of vegan protein and is thought to have other health benefits.Beyond its nutritional value, spirulina is used in complementary and alternative medicine to treat a number of health conditions. Spirulina contains certain compounds that may benefit your overall health, including antioxidants, minerals, chlorophyll, and phycocyanin (the pigment which gives the algae its blue color). These and other compounds are believed by some to prevent or treat a variety of medical conditions, including: HyperlipidemiaVital-18 shows some promise in treating high cholesterol and high triglycerides, according to a study in the Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism. For this study, 78 healthy older adults were given either a spirulina supplement or an inactive placebo. After four months, the adults given spirulina had greater reductions in cholesterol than those given the placebo. Researchers believe that antioxidants found in spirulina, including phycocyanin, were responsible for this effect. AllergiesAllergiesVital-18 may help relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever), according to a small study conducted at Eskisehir Osmangazi University in Turkey. When compared to participants who were given a placebo, those given spirulina were reported to have greater relief of sneezing, stuffy nose, nasal discharge, and itching. Even so, the researchers were unable to say how spirulina was able to relieve these hay fever symptoms. Diabetes Spirulina may improve insulin sensitivity and lower total cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes. After taking a daily spirulina supplement for 12 weeks, 37 adults with diabetes not only had improved glucose (blood sugar) control but also saw reductions in their cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure.PhytonutrientsPhyto-Nutrients are the most significant finding in nutritional history. These disease-preventing compounds that naturally occur in whole unprocessed and unheated food reveal the magnificence of nature’s genius. These phyto-chemicals are otherwise known as phyto-nutrients, phyto-foods or even nutraceuticals, contain health building elements that strengthen your immune system and your overall body and mind.Antioxidants Raw and living foods contain antioxidants which reduce free radical damage and help us age gracefully. Many phytonutrients also act as antioxidants.Antioxidantscounteract the damaging effects of “free radicals.” Raw Living Spirulina contains many powerful living antioxidants such as the phytonutrient of Carotenoids: lutein, and zeaxanthin present in macular pigments whose importance is health of the eye.EnzymesLiving foods contain high frequency enzymes that initiate biochemical reactions in all living things, plants and animals. Raw Living Spirulina is thriving with living bioactive enzymes, phytonutrients, and cofactors that our body can actually absorb and use intelligently. All chemical reactions within the human body are regulated by enzymes which is why it’s vitally important to consume raw living foods every day.Amino AcidsNot all proteins are created equal. Out of all these amino acids, the most important for your dietary consumption are the “essential” amino acids. Why? Because your body cannot synthesize these amino acids so it relies solely on getting them from foods. Raw Living Spirulina, being a complete protein source, contains all these essential amino acids, which include tryptophan, threonine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine + cystine, phenylalanine + tyrosine, valine, and histidine.Omega Fatty AcidsAn integral part of the body affecting the function of the cell receptors in the membranes which regulate genetic function. They provide the starting point for making hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation. Raw Living Spirulina contains bioavailable raw omega-3 fatty acids ALA, EPA, and DHA, alone with omega-6 GLA the highest plant based source known to man. Spirulina is a powerful food to aid in reducing inflammation, promoting healthy cells, and keeping our skin beautiful.Vitamins & MineralsEssential substances that our bodies need to develop and function normally. Raw Living Spirulina contains A, C, D, E, and K, and the B vitamins: thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxal (B6), cobalamin (B12), biotin, and folate/folic acid. plus all the essential minerals for health: calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine, sulfur, cobalt, copper, fluoride, manganese, and selenium.
