SPIRULINA VS HYPERTENSION
Spirulina reduces blood pressure by increasing
the production of nitric oxide, a gas molecule
that dilates or widens blood vessels and in turn
improves blood flow -- Universidad Nacional
Autonoma de Mexico reported in February 2009
issue of the Journal of Medicinal Food .
HYPERTENSION
4.5 grams of spirulina given each day
was shown to regulate blood pressure
among both women and men ages 18-
65 years with no other dietary changes
made during six weeks ---Department
of Biochemistry in Mexico.

ARSENIC
Juice Drinkers have Higher Arsenic Levels
than Non-Juice Drinkers

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, The
U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
raising concerns about arsenic poisoning
through the diet.
Ten percent of the 88 juice samples tested had
arsenic levels exceeding the U.S. federal
drinking-water standard

SOURCES OF ARSENIC
Groundwater is one of the most common source
Fruit juices
Jars of baby food - Brian Jackson, Ph.D
Sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans
Rice cereals
Chicken - feed grown with synthetic pesticides

The Health Dangers of Arsenic

Gastrointestinal problems
Skin discoloration or lesions, including
hyperkeratosis
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Long-term exposure increases risk of Various
cancers
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Reproductive problems


Spirulina Helped Save Millions from
Arsenic Poisoning

Much of the Bangladesh water supply is loaded
with arsenic.
Bangladeshi researchers conducted a three-
month-hospital-based study, where spirulina
was given to 33 patients while 17 received
placebo doses. 82 percent of those taking
spirulina showed tremendous improvement.


Candida

Spirulina has been shown to
encourage and support the growth
of healthy bacterial flora in our
gut, which can help keep Candida
overgrowth under control.


HIV and AIDS

Spirulina has been shown to help
inactivate the human
immunodeficiency virus associated
with HIV and AIDS
Protein Isolated From Blue-Green Algae
Inactivates HIV
A newly discovered protein called cyanovirin-N
inactivates the human immunodeficiency virus
in vitro.
The virucidal protein was isolated and
sequenced by a multicenter team at the National
Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland.


Lowers Stroke Risk

A dosage of 180mg/kg of spirulina had a
protective effect on the brain and nervous
system of rats exposed to high amounts of free
radicals, compared to rats not given the
spirulina before the experiment. This lab test
shows the promising effect of spirulina on
stroke prevention -- Institute of Pharmaceutical
Technology in India
CANCER
According to a study done
in China selenium-infused
spirulina inhibited the
growth of MCF-7 breast
cancer cells

Spirulina and Eyes/ARMD

Age-Related Macular Degeneration
(ARMD) a leading cause of
blindness today is on the rise.
SPIRULINA and CATARACTS

Additionally, xanthophylls may be effective in
preventing cataracts. Spirulina provides 3,750 to
6,000 mcg zeaxanthin per serving size (3 grms)
Spirulina and Type 2 Diabetes
Reducing systemic inflammation. (Insulin
resistance has come to be associated with a
state of systemic low-grade inflammation.)
Favourably altering lipid profile by reducing
serum triglycerides and increasing HDL.
Improving vasodilatation which has benefits for
diabetics, as well as for those with hypertension
and cardiovascular disease
Spirulina and Liver
Prevents the build up of triglycerides in
Inhibits lipid peroxidation
Reduces liver inflammation
Protects liver from damage by heavy
metals, like lead and mercury
Spirulina and Brain
Two studies (one in the Journal of Agricultural
and Food Chemistry, the other in the British
Journal of Nutrition) showed that Spirulina
reduces platelet aggregation, reducing risk for
thromboembolism.
Spirulina was found to have the highest
neuroprotective effect, possibly due to its ability
to squelch free radicals and reduce
inflammation.

SPIRULINA AND BRAIN
And in an Oregon State University study of rats that had
induced strokes, the group fed spirulina showed brains
lesions that were 75 percent smaller than those in control
groups.
Oxidative stress is one major source of inflammation,
and in brain, it can result in loss of dopamine neurons
and lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as
Parkinsons and Alzheimers. An enzyme complex called
NADPH oxidase has been shown to play a role in these
diseases, and the phycocyanin in spirulina can suppress
NADPH oxidase, lowering risk for these age-related brain
diseases
SPIRULINA AND BRAIN
Spirulina were found to reverse the
inflammation that can lead to
diminished neurogenesis
(production of new neurons),
which is another factor in
degenerative diseases of the brain

HEAVY METALS

Spirulina can bind with heavy
metals in the body and help
remove them
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
phosphate (NADPH)

SAFE DURING PREGNANCY
The high concentration of protein
and iron makes it ideal during
pregnancy, after surgery, or
anytime the immune system needs
a boost.
RADIATION
Emerging evidence suggests
that it binds with radioactive
isotopes and may be useful
for radioactivity exposure or
radiation therapy.
