Nutrex Hawaiian Spirulina Powder - 141g
It is recommended we eat five servings of fruit and vegetables a day. In real life, it doesn't always happen. That’s why we recommend supplementing your diet with Spirulina, also known as Blue Green Algae. Hawaiian grown Spirulina Pacifica supplies more concentrated nutrition than any other whole food on the planet.
Spirulina delivers:
- Wide spectrum of vitamins - including natural vitamin E for promoting normal red cell formation and B-Complex Vitamins - Supplies Thiamin, Riboflavin and vitamin B-12, B-2 and B-6 to aid absorption, release energy from food and support brain function.
- High Iron, Calcium and mineral content - organic Iron & Calcium for maintaining healthy blood, bones, nerves and muscles. Spirulina is nature’s richest wholefood source of Biochelated Organic Iron, which is completely non-toxic. 58 times richer than raw spinach and 28 times richer than raw beef liver.
- Organic Protein - Richest source in the plant world - three times that of beef
- Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) - an essential fatty acid thought to help maintain a healthy heart. Important for anyone needing additional nourishment including dieters, athletes, convalescents and the elderly.
- Natural Carotenes & Antioxidants - helping to support the body in the cleansing of harmful ‘free radicals’, thus maintaining skin and hair and general well-being. Spirulina contains every natural antioxidant known; the antioxidant vitamins B-1 and B-6; the minerals zinc, manganese and copper, the amino acid methionine; and the super-antioxidants betacarotene (25 times richer than raw carrots), vitamin E and trace element selenium.
Minerals from Mother Ocean
Only Hawaiian Spirulina draws nourishment from the world’s cleanest, deepest ocean. The Nutrex facility uses ocean water drawn from a pipeline that plunges 2000 feet into the sea where they draw water that has been below the surface since Old Testament times.
Deep water from the Pacific makes a very slow migration which starts at the poles. This deep water stays in a distinct layer, traveling like a very slowly moving river toward the tropics. The Nutrex system brings this ultra-pure, mineral rich water to their ponds. Nutrex supplement their Spirulina systems with this deep water providing a rich source of calcium, magnesium and all the essential trace elements. No other Spirulina is grown with such a rich source of naturally occurring nutrients.
