Medical research has shown that spirulina produces the following results:

Energy Enhancement & Anaemia
Spirulina markedly increases available energy - it is very rich in vitamin E and bio-chelated iron (for enriched blood/cellular oxygenation).

Slimming
Spirulina normalises weight with effective natural appetite suppressants, by stimulating glandular functions (youth/sex hormones), increasing metabolism; and by satisfying the body's real biochemical needs by optimising nutrition.

Stress/PMT Relief
Spirulina is extremely effective for stress reduction and relief restoring and enhancing our normal biological control systems. It is the world's richest source of antioxidants and GLA (the active ingredient in Evening Primrose Oil).

Cholesterol Reduction
A recent medical study has shown that spirulina, taken regularly, has the ability to reduce blood cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL undesirable fat) levels in the blood.

Antibiotic, Anti-Fungal Effects
Spirulina inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and fungi.

Cancer suppressant
A recent study has shown that daily ingestion of a small amount of spirulina maintains or accelerates normal lymphocyte (immune control cell) function to prevent generation of malignancy, such as cancer, or to inhibit its growth or recurrence.

Wound healing
Studies have shown that spirulina in creams, ointments, and taken orally, accelerates wound healing, promotes skin metabolism and reduces scarring.

HIV/AIDS
Extracts from spirulina have been shown to kill HIV - the virus associated with AIDS - in vitro.

Vitamin B12
The bioavailability of vitamin B12 in Spirulina is in dispute. Several biological assays have been used to test for the presence of vitamin B12. The most popular is the US Pharmacopeia method using the Lactobacillus leichmannii assay. Studies using this method have shown Spirulina to be a minimal source of bioavailable vitamin B12. However, this assay does not differentiate between true B12 (cobalamin) and similar compounds (corrinoids) that cannot be used in human metabolism. Cyanotech, a grower of spirulina, claims to have done a more recent assay, which has shown Spirulina to be a significant source of cobalamin. However the assay is not published for scientific review and so the existence of this assay is in doubt.

Spirulina is unsurpassed in its power to help enhance metabolism and normalise weight, makes you feel younger, stronger and sharper, give you a powerful sense of potency and aliveness, and a greater resistance to stress, tiredness and disease. Our spirulina is grown organically and spray dried at very low temperature so valuable nutrients are preserved.

Our spirulina powder is certified organic by Naturland.

TYPICAL ANALYSIS OF SPIRULINA (General Composition)

A rich food source of Betacarotene and the essential fatty acid - Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).
A complete vegetarian source of all the essential amino acids, Spirulina is 65% protein, with virtually no saturated fat.
An excellent source of chelated organic iron. Spirulina provides ten times as much iron as spinach.
Acts as an appetite suppressant as it is relatively high in the amino acid phenylalanine, and is therefore ideal in weight control programmes.
Detoxifies the body, clearing away impurities in the blood and bowel.
Helps to balance fat and cholesterol metabolism.
A study with human volunteers in Japan showed decreased LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels with spirulina consumption (Tokai Univ.)

Dried yacon root powder contains 50-70% (dry basis) FOS and low proportion of simple sugars (e.g., glucose, fructose and sucrose). The human body has no enzyme to hydrolyze FOS, so it passes through the digestive tract unmetabolized, providing few calories, a marketing strength for dieters and diabetics. Yacon also acts as a prebiotic. The undigested portion of yacon serves as food for “friendly” bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species, in the colon. Clinical studies have shown that administering inulin can increase the number of these friendly bacteria in the colon which in turn enhances our immune system while simultaneously reducing the population of harmful & bacteria  & suppresses putrefactive pathogens such as Candida albicans. Yacon helps the intestines to function efficiently and eliminate toxins and waste products from the body.

Other benefits noted with FOS supplementation include increased production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, increased absorption of calcium and magnesium, and improved elimination of toxic compounds. Preclinical studies indicate an increase in bone density after consumption of FOS. In addition, the beneficial effects of FOS on the presence of Bifidobacteria suggest an improved absorption of vitamins, such as the B complexes.

Yacón is a useful sweet food for diabetics.

Yacon is a useful food for managing weight control and obesity. It provides few calories 15-20Kcal/100g, whereas bread typically contains around 50Kcal/100g.

Yacon has proven useful in preventing & treating the following conditions:
    *  Acne
    *  Colon disease
    *  Constipation
    *   Diabetes
    *  Low immune system
    *  Poor Gastrointestinal health
    *  Obesity
    *  Osteoporosis

Yacon syrup, pressed from the tuber, has a sweet flavor, and is used as a delicious vegan, raw, low GI sweetener and prebiotic with few calories.

The taste is very rich and somewhat similar to caramel, molasses & maple syrup combined.  A little goes a very long way. Yummy!
