What are the Nutritional Benefit of Japan Algae's Spirulina?
As shown in the table, Japan Algae's Spirulina is rich in proteins, sugars, fatty acids, and vitamins as well as in minerals like calcium, phosphate, magnesium, iron and carotene, which tend to be insufficient in our daily diets. In others words, the five main nutrients our body needed are all contained in spirulina. We recommended our Spirulina especially for people who:
"Want to enrich or maintain a healthy life"; Japan Algae's Spirulina provides an excellent balance of vitamins and minerals and are easily absorbed by the body. It also contains high levels of carotenoids such as b-carotene, which has the ability to neutralise and prevent free-radical damage in the body. However, it is not b-carotene alone that is responsible. The green colour of spirulina comes from chlorofhyll, another antioxidant. That means b-carotene also has antioxidant properties and can have an impact on improving your immune system and preventing cancer.
Therefore, Japan Algae’s Spirulina is excellent in combating imbalance arising from unhealthy lifestyle habits and also affective in overcoming and preventing various disorders arising from a poorly balanced diet, including insufficient intake of vegetables too.
“Want a healthy body which is slightly alkaline”; Is is said that a healthy body is slightly alkaline. Due to stress, lack of exercise, an unhealthy lifestyle and of course, improper diet with high intake of meat, seafood, instant food, pastries and sweets, all this food are categorized as “acid food” that can trigger diseases in adults.
In fact, the physical condition of approximately 90% of people who tend to get sick are said to be acidic. Acidity is the cause of many illnesses. Japan Algae’s Spirulina with an alkalinity level more than 18 prevents your body from oxidization. Keeping your body alkaline vitalizes the metabolism and boosts your natural healing powers.
“Want to nourish and improve the nutritional status”; Due to our hectic lifestyle, many do not eat in a balanced way, and from conventional foods grown in depleted soils, essential minerals may be missing, thus many people have a common serious mineral dificiency in their bodies. So no matter how acareful we are with our diet, we can never be sure if we are consuming the entire spectrum of esssential nutrients our cells require for optimum health, AND that makes us require additional vitamins and minerals.
Spirulina is a whole food source containing a full spectrum of proteins, minerals, vitamins, fatty acid and other nutrients that your body need, therefore if you take Japan Algae’s Spirulina, you automatically get near-perfect ratios of all the nutrients.
“Want to go on a diet and detoxification”; A lot of scientific research addresses spirulina as the ultimate diet food.

It also activates peristaltic movement of the intestines. As the balance among the type of bacteria in the intestines get better, constipation which can cause obesity is relieved. Moreover our customers in Japan describe Japan Algae’s Spirulina as being able to moderate their appetite when taken before meals.
In addition, spirulina is a food which contains generous amount of various kinds of nutrients, so there is no concern that the body’s balance of nutrients will be upset by dieting. It is important to follow a healthy diet that combines well-balanced meals and spirulina.
