Help to delay senility for the elderly
Spirulina has multiple anti-aging substances: beta carotene, Vitamin E, GLA, superoxide dismutase (SOD), etc. On the one hand, these substances via anti-oxidant effectively prevent human cells from aging by removing free radicals. One the other hand, these substances help prevent people from gonad degeneration, hyperlipemia, and arteriosclerosis so that senility is slowed down.
Enhance human immune system
Polysaccharide in spirulina is a natural broad spectrum booster for human immune system. It enhances human immune system by improving the productivity of marrow cells, functions of thymus and spleen, facilitating the synthesization of serum protein. Phycocyanin and allophycocyanin make great contribution to human immune system improvement by increasing white blood cells in human body.
Restrain malignant tumors
Cancer stems from damaged cells by increasing free radicals in the body. Beta carotene is the active substance capable to effectively restrain free radicals, and it is the main resource for Vitamin A as well. Spirulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots. It is widely recognized in the medical science world that spirulina polysaccharide and phycocyanin have postive effects on cancer and tumor treatment. Clinical studies show spirulina has a 54% of restraint rate upon ascitic type of hepatitis cancer cells. Spirulina also has notable effect in recovering organ damages caused by chemical and radiation treatment.
Cure hepatitis diseases
Spirulina provides patients with high content of protein and vitamins so as to improve symptoms. GLA in spirulina is protective to human liver.
Prevent cardio-vascular diseases
Spirulina is very rich in chlorophyll, serine, sylvite and Vitamin B6 which help synthesize sinkaline, lower blood pressure, decrease blood glutinousness, and maintain softness of blood vessels. GLA in spirulina can reduce cholesterol content in the blood so as to prevent heart disease and stroke.
Vision care
According to the study by Orient Medical Science University of Japan, dietotherapy with spirulina has an 80% of effective rate on 480 cases of senile cataracts, diabetic retinopathies, and hypertensive retinopathies.
Gastrosis and enteritis
Many people suffer from excessive gastric acid which could cause gastrosis and gastric ulcer. Spirulina is kalescent food and chlorophyll, beta carotene and rich protein in spirulina are very effective to rebuild and regenerate epithelium of alimentary tract. Spirulina has particular effect on precancerous atrophic gastritis.
Spirulina is also a reliever of habitual constipation.
Anemia
Spirulina iron is 45 times more concentrated than spinach. Iron is an anti-anemia element which provides oxygen to cells and which has the features of anti-oxidation, anti-inflaming and anti-aging.
Kidney disease
Many heavy metals and drugs impose harm on kidney. Spirulina has 10 times more chlorophyll than ordinary vegetables. Chlorophyll can cleanse blood by exporting waste, neutralizing the toxins produced by heavy metals and drugs.
Rheumatism
GLA in spirulina is very helpful to improve rheumarthritis condition.
Dysmenorrhea
GLA in spirulina can improve premenstrual symptom complex, such as headache, anxiety, oppression, etc.
Skin care
GLA in spirulina can improve allergic dermatitis condition. High content of beta carotene and superoxide dismutase (SOD) is very important to maintain skin resiliency and remove skin color spots. Spirulina is added to world known cosmetic products made in France.
Obesity
