100% Spirulina Chips with sea salt
Spirulina is a blue-green algae offering exceptionally high protein content and remarkably complete composition of vitamins and minerals essential for healthy living. Unlike other potent sources of nutrients and protein Spirulina is low in calories and cholesterol. Below are a few of the highlights for why Spirulina is such an excellent source of your daily nutrition needs:
Dried Spirulina as a potent source of protein.
Dried Spirulina is 59% – 74% percent protein which is especially impressive when compared with dried soybean at 40 percent, lentils at 26 percent, and peanuts at 25 percent. Perhaps more surprising is that raw beef only contains 23 percent protein. With only 36 kcal calories per 10 grams of dried powder, Spirulina is an excellent source of protein without empty calories. Additionally, the protein is far more accessible by the human digestive system than most other plant and animal proteins. This means the body can absorb and utilize much more of the available protein with far less energy and stress on the digestive system. source:( USDA, FAO p. 10)
Complete Source of Protein, Amino Acids, and Omega 3-6-9
In addition to containing omega-3 fatty acid, and is highly concentrated with protein, Spirulina is dense with all 8 essential amino acids that the body does not naturally synthesize. Here is a list of the different amino acids and how your body utilizes them:
- Isoleucine – required for optimal growth
- Leucine – stimulates brain function
- Lysine – needed for producing antibodies, enzymes, and hormones
- Methionine – antioxidant properties
- Phenylalanine – required for thyroid function
- Threonine – improves intestinal and digestive function
- Tryptophane – regulates serotonin
- Valine – stimulates the mental and physical capacity
- 80 essential minerals from sea salt in addition to minerals in spirulina.
