So what is Spirulina? It is a very tiny blue-green vegetable alga.

This alga has continuously been taken as a nutritional supplement since ages. Spirulina Pacifica is manufactured & grown by Cyanotech in Hawaii. A strain of Spirulina platensis, Spirulina Pacifica has been cultivated over many years which initially began in 1984. Cyanotech has the oldest continuously growing culture in the world which was made possible by the favorable conditions of Hawaii and Cyanotechs system. Spirulina Pacifica, along with other strains of Spirulina platensis, was comprehensively studied by scientists at the University of Hawaii. They found some unique properties which were not present in other strains. Spirulina Pacifica is absorbed easily. It is a significant source of Vitamin B & associated vitamins, protein, amino acids, GLA and mixed carotenoids. Spirulina Pacifica is grown in around 20 cm deep ponds which are near the Pacific Ocean. To replenish the ponds, a predetermined mixture of fresh & deep ocean water is used. Also, carbon dioxide & baking soda are used to grow Spirulina Pacifica. Along with food grade fertilizers, the water from the deep ocean is added. The deep ocean water is prosperous with trace minerals & elements. Spirulina has been mentioned on the famous Dr. Oz Show where Suzy Cohen (Americas Most Trusted Pharmacist), said that women who take oral contraceptives (which reduce minerals in the body) should also take Spirulina every day to naturally replenish the depleted mineral levels. Scientists of the University of California at Davis recently discovered that for people aged above 50, Spirulina Pacifica has the ability to boost immunity and alleviate anemia. Hawaiian Spirulina tastes far better than non-Hawaiian Spirulina (especially from China or India) and therefore can be taken daily without causing much trouble to the human taste buds. It can be said that two tablespoons of Spirulina Pacifica powder have more nutritional value than the Standard American Diet taken over a week. There are visible positive effects when Spirulina Pacifica is added to daily diet. Some of the better known benefits of Spirulina are lower cravings for junk food, better sexual life, significantly enhanced memory, extra energy, and loss of weight. Spirulina Pacifica could be the healthiest part of human daily diet ever. It has minimal bacterial count; much reduced heavy metal presence and is completely environmentally friendly. There are no herbicides, insecticides, or pesticides used while growing Spirulina. Also, since it is not grown in soil, there is no possibility of crop rotation or contamination by manure.

Since Spirulina is cultivated in ponds, there is absolutely no possibility of it causing any soil erosion or contamination of ground water. Cyanotech also continuously monitors the conditions in which Spirulina is cultivated. Just after the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, Cyanotech conducted nuclear radiation analysis of its products by a third party. No significant traces of nuclear radiation were detected. Spirulina Pacifica has been known to negate the adverse effects of nuclear radiation. Astaxanthin, a component derived from Spirulina Pacifica, is perhaps the most powerful antioxidant in human history. It is also a major constituent of Spirulina Pacifica. So what are you waiting for? Grab a powder or tablets if you dont like the taste, and hop on to a lifelong journey of happiness and well-being.
