Packed full of phytochemicals, spirulina has significant amounts of protein, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, chlorophyll, carotenoids including beta-carotene, vitamins, minerals, unique pigments and polysaccharides. Spirulina also has probiotic compounds that enhance health through preserving resident intestinal microflora, especially lactic acid bacilli and bifidobacteria, and decreasing the level of Candida albicans. 

    Researchers also found that Spirulina produces an immunostimulating effect by enhancing the resistance of humans, mammals, chickens and fish to infections by stimulating the production of antibodies, cytokines, macrophages, T and B cells. Liver-protective properties of Spirulina are attributed to its antiinflammatory, antioxidant, membrane-stabilizing, and immunocorrecting actions. Spirulina sulfolipids have also proved to be active against HIV and whole Spirulina biomass against herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, and influenza virus. Spirulina extracts have also been shown to reduce cholesterol, inhibit development of abnormal growths and prevent allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

    Spirulina has a history of use as actual food in Chad where locals traditionally consume 9-13 grams per meal, and these meals make up from 10 to 60% of daily food ingesion. Research on the traditional usage of Spirulina as a food was done by Delpeuch and others and published in 1976 in the article entitled, Consumption as food and nutritional composition of blue-green algae among populations in the Kanem region of Chad (Ann. Nutr. Aliment. 29: 497-516). After this report, the United Nation's FAO organized an educational campaign in Chad to encourage consumption of Spirulina harvested from natural sources and more than 6000 meals were distributed under the supervision of the FAO.

    The tough outer cell wall of chlorella, which we open in our unique processing technique allowing access vital nutrients, provides a fiber that eliminates toxins, pesticides and heavy metals by chemically binding them in digestive tract. It aids the body in the breakdown of hydrocarbons and metallic toxins such as DDT, PCB, mercury, cadmium and lead, while strengthening the immune system. This fibrous broken outer cell wall also provides material that greatly enhances digestion and health of the digestive tract. The chlorophyll in chlorella has a magnesium ion at its center, giving it remarkable red blood cell building ability. This makes it an excellent transporter of oxygen and bloodstream cleanser. Chlorella stimulates the activity of T-cells and macrophages by increasing interferon levels. This enhances the immune system's ability to combat foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals and foreign proteins. It is a power cancer fighter.
     
    KELP

    The benefits of kelp are legion, and the praise it receives from natural health researchers shows no sign of ending. Let’s take a look at those benefits now.
    Good source of iodine – Kelp contains high amounts of iodine, which helps to improve thyroid function (iodine regulates thyroid hormones), maintains the health of our metabolism and immune system, and guards us against radiation poisoning.
    Anti-inflammatory properties – Like hijiki and other brown algae, kelp contains the sulfated carbohydrate molecule fucoidan, which is a potent anti-inflammatory.
    Good source of iron – Like most sea vegetables, kelp contains a large amount of iron, an essential mineral that is responsible for supplying our blood cells with oxygen. Many people across America suffer from a deficiency in iron, which can lead to chronic fatigue, skin ailments, brittle fingernails, and more.
    Antioxidants – Like blueberries and several other superfoods, kelp contains antioxidants, which are substances that can protect our bodies’ cells from free radicals and other potentially hazardous elements.
    Prevention against cancer – The anti-cancer benefits of kelp are well-documented. For example, a study at the University of California, Berkeley found that a kelp-rich diet helped prevent estrogen cancer in women due to its phytoestrogen content (phytoestrogen is nature’s estrogen ‘backup’). Japanese women, who regularly incorporate kelp into their diet, demonstrate much lower instances of ovarian and breast cancer than their kelp-shy Western counterparts.
    Aside from the health benefits listed above, one serving of kelp (10g) will provide us with 2% of our RDA of calcium, 1% of our RDA of vitamin C, and 1% of our RDA of dietary fiber. It also contains zero fat, cholesterol, or sugars, and only 4 calories, which makes it an excellent food for weight loss. On the negative side, kelp is quite high in sodium.
    The nutrients in kelp can provide significant benefits to your skin, nails and hair in the form of a healthier looking complexion and stronger nails and hair.

    Kelp comes from the sea which is rich in vital minerals and nutrients, so it makes sense that it might contain a number of health promoting properties.
    These include:
    • Kelp stimulates and boosts your immune system
    • Kelp helps fights cancer
    • Kelp helps prevent heart disease
    • Kelp encourages healthy liver function
    • Kelp aids in brain development
    • Kelp helps to prevent osteoporosis
    • Kelp helps to lower cholesterol levels
    • Kelp is good for joints which reduces arthritic pain
    • Kelp kills the Herpes virus which causes cold sores
    • Kelp is a natural energy booster
    • Kelp helps with digestion, flatulence and constipation
    • Kelp is good for fertility in both men and women

    DULSE

    Dulse is approximately 22 percent protein, extremely high in vitamins B6 and B12, and relatively low in sodium. A small amount provides more than 100 percent of the RDA of vitamin B6, iron and fluoride as well as 66 percent RDA of vitamin B12. The sea vegetable is also quite high in vitamin A, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, calcium, and iodine.
    • Supportive of Thyroid Gland
    • Excellent Source of Protein
    • Prevents High Blood Pressure
    • Supportive of Nervous System
    • Muscle Strength
    • Prevent Muscle Cramping
    • Prevent Kidney Disorders
    • Excellent Source of Iodine

    BLADDERWRACK

    Bladderwrack is rich in iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulfur, silicon and iron and high in some B-complex vitamins. It contains moderate amounts of phosphorus, selenium, manganese and zinc and small amounts of vitamins A, C, E and G. It also contains anti-sterility vitamin S as well as vitamin K. It is rich in algin and mannitol, carotene.

    Bladderwrack has anti-estrogenic properties and can boost levels of progesterone. This makes it useful for regulating menstrual cycles for women who menstruate irregularly. The anti-estrogenic and prostergonic properties can also reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancer among women.

    Bladderwrack contains a compound called fucoidan that has anti-aging properties. Fucoidan promotes the retention of collagen while decreasing skin thickness and improving skin's elasticity.
     
    Traditional Uses of Bladderwrack:
    • For thyroid gland and metabolism
    • For hypothyroidism and goiter
    • For rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis
    • For irritated and inflamed body tissues
    • For weight loss related to thyroid problems
    • For fat burning during exercise
    • For stamina
    • For cholesterol and blood glucose levels
    • For dietary fiber
    • For anti-bacterial properties

    PROBIOTICS

    The following health benefits are associated with the intake of daily doses of probiotics. 
    • Enhanced immune system response
    • Reduces negative affects of taking many types of antibiotics
    • Aids in preventing and treating colon inflammation following surgery
    • Helps to prevent eczema in youth
    • Increased ability to digest food
    • Therapeutic for viral respiratory tract infections by enhancing the overall immune system
    • Reduces lactose intolerance
    • Reduces incidence of yeast infections, vaginitis and candidiasis
    • Increases ability to assimilate the nutrients from food
    • Alleviates many common digestive disorders such as constipation, diarrhea and IBS
    • Acts as a remedy for bad breath (halitosis)
    • Increases ability to synthesize vitamin B
    • Increases ability to absorb calcium
    • Promotes anti-tumor and anti-cancer activity in the body

    7. What about the lead content in this product. I used to use it years ago and just purchased a new bottle and only after opening noticed the lead toxicity warning on the label. I researched it online and am getting so many conflicting opinions. Any concrete info?

    13. It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like,HIV,Epilepsy Infertility, Herpes, Hepatitis, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Prostate Cancer,Blood Cancer,Lung Cancer,Brain Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Love Spell,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy,Hpv,Weak Erection,Wart Remover. Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com/ info@drituaherbalcenter.com. then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..

    15. FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
      I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how Dr ehiaguna cured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you Dr ehiaguna because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact Dr ehiaguna via drehiaguna@gmail.com or WhatsApp him via +2348073908953 he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus.1 HIV cure
      2 cancer
      3 diabetes
      4 hepatitis
      5 herpes.
      You can contact if you are having any problem...
