The National Cancer Institute and the US Government recommend 5-9 servings of fruits & vegetables each day. One 3 gram serving of Hawaiian Spirulina has higher levels of key antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and minerals than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.
Some important nutrients in Hawaiian Spirulina include:Polysaccharides: A nutrient that helps support cardiovascular and cell health, as well as the immune system.
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): An enzyme that acts as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals, and helping to repair cells.
Vitamin A: Necessary for cellular and bone growth, good vision, and a healthy immune system.
Carotenoids: Naturally occurring, powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from free radical damage. Also believed to boost the function of the immune system.
Vitamin B12: An essential vitamin required for proper red blood cell for proper red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Helps maintain healthy nerve cells.
Vitamin K1 and Vitamin K2: Essential nutrients for bone and blood health with additional clinically validated benefits for the cardiovascular system and liver.
Zeaxanthin: A carotenoid and powerful antioxidant that fights free radical damage with specific benefits for eye and cellular health.
Iron: Essential in the formation of red blood cells and transportation of oxygen throughout the body. Iron assists the memory and supports the immune system.
Protein: An important component of every cell in the body. It is important for bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood. Spirulina is one of the few plant sources that provides protein and all essential amino acids which are the building blocks of life.
