Detoxifying Foods: Spirulina


Believe it or not, one of the healthiest whole foods known to man is a simple form of bacteria. Many people don’t realize that there are both good and bad bacteria and that the human body depends on the good bacteria to combat and bring under control, a number of physical conditions.

Thailand Spirulina is produced from combining two cyan bacteria. You may have heard it referred to as blue-green algae, and at one time it was called Arthrospira. But, no matter what you call it, this Superfood is packed with power and that’s what makes it so well known among health conscious advocates who depend on Superfoods as the mainstay of their diet.

Thailand Spirulina is harvested in open channel raceway ponds, built for the purpose of the food’s production. It is a surprising little food; filled with nutrients that make it incomparable to other health foods.

Thailand Spirulina is a Complete Protein

Spirulina has extremely high amounts of protein. In fact by dry weight, it contains between 55 and 77%. Because it’s a complete protein, it contains all the essential amino acids. It stands superior to all other standard plant proteins, even that of legumes which is known for its amino acid content.

Thailand spirulina contains essential fatty acids. These are the fatty acids which cannot be obtained from any other source except through diet.

Thailand Spirulina is a Rich Source of Vitamins

  • B vitamins including B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin D
  • Vitamin E

Thailand Spirulina is a source of Minerals and the Photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll-a. In addition to supplying a good portion of the vitamins, minerals and other necessary nutrients, Spirulina has undergone a number of studies that indicate the food is very effective in treating a number of significant health problems.

Health Conditions Found To Benefit From Spirulina

Thailand Spirulina is also being considered as a key factor in eliminated malnutrition and improving universal health conditions. Another interesting possibility is that both Europe and the United States have proposed to make Spirulina one of the staple foods that could be cultivated and used during future, long space missions.

Spirulina is also moving to the forefront in whole food popularity because it is a food that can be grown without bringing any harm to the environment. In fact, this amazing little green food is fast becoming known as one of the best “green” foods on the planet.

My understanding was that spirulina was a micro algae not a bacteria. There is a book on bioastinman.com that explains what spirulina is…never does it mention it as a bacteria?!
