5 – 9 servings of different fruits andvegetables each day

3 grams of Hawaiian Spirulina have the same amount of phytonutrients

as 5 servings of fruits and vegetables

Oxidation and Free-Radical Damage

• Causes damage to DNA and cell structures• Caused by pollution, cigarette smoke, sunburn,

radiation, exercise, even immune function.• Leads to aging and degenerative diseases• Hawaiian Spirulina is exceptionally rich in

antioxidants that neutralize free-radicals.

Variety of Antioxidants in HawaiianSpirulina

• Oil Soluble: Carotenoids– Beta Carotene– Zeaxanthin– Cryptoxanthin

• Water Soluble: Phycocyanin• Enzymes: Super Oxide

Dismutase• Other foods may have one or

two antioxidants—HawaiianSpirulina has many

Hawaiian Spirulina supplies a rainbow of vitalantioxidants (shown in actual colors)

• Phycocyanin (antioxidant for liver and kidneyhealth, very hard to find in foods)

• Chlorophyll (anti-toxin, anti-carcinogen)

• Zeaxanthin (antioxidant for the eyes and brain)

• Beta carotene (antioxidant for skin, eyes,immune system, safe source of vitamin A)

Phycocyanin protects the liverand kidneys from toxins

• Phycocyanin is a water soluble antioxidant that givesSpirulina its blue tint

• Japanese studies show that phycocyanin helps andprotects the liver and kidneys.

Zeaxanthin protectsour eyes as we age

• The leading cause of blindness inolder adults is called maculardegeneration (AMD).

• Foods rich in Zeaxanthin help preventAMD.

Just 6 tablets provide the amount ofzeaxanthin in a bowl of spinach, one ofthe richest vegetable sources..
