What is Phycocyanin ? About 14% of Spirulina is a protein complex called Phycocyanin which means ‘algae-blue’, and is found only in blue-green algae. It evolved a billion years before chlorophyll. It may be the precursor to chlorophyll and haemoglobin,before it has both magnrsium and iron at its core. Phycocyanin may be the origin of life common to both plants and animals. Research shows it stimulates the immune system, builds both red and white blood cells and as sists detoxification. Chinese scientists claim phycocyanin regulates production of white blood cells even when bone marrow cells are damaged by toxic chemicals or radiation. Every one is familiar with chlorophyll. It is present in all green plants.What is the role of chlorophyll ? Spirulina has one of nature’s highest levels of chlorophyll – about 1% by weight. It’s sometimes called ‘green blood’ because it looks like the blood haemoglobin molecule. Blood has iron at its core , giving it a red colour, and chlorophyll...

Imagine a plant that is able to provide you with the right healing nudge, in the right amount, at the right time, in the right direction.

Healthy flora is the foundation of good health and it increases absorption of nutrients from the food we eat, and help protect against infection. Studies with malnourished children in Mexico, India, Romania, Rwanda and Zaire, have shown easily digested Spirulina is beneficial when intestines no longer absorbs food effectively. It’s a great food for malmourished peoples precisely because it helps rebuild healthy intestinal flora, which are essential for the utilization of more complex foods.
