acids.LEUCINE - Stimulator of brain function,increases muscular
energy levels. LYSINE - Building block of blood
antibodies,strengthens circulatory system and maintainsnormal
growth of cells. 7. Essential Amino acids cont. METHIONINE -
maintains liver health.An anti-stress factor, it calms the nerves.
PHENYLALANINE - Required by thethyroid gland for production of
thyroxine. THREONINE - Improves intestinalcompetence and digestive
assimilation. 8. Essential Amino acids cont. TRYPTOPHAN - Increases
utilization of Bvitamins,improves nerve health andstability of the
emotions. Promotes sense of calmness. VALINE - Stimulates mental
capacity andmuscle
coordination.(Chronakis,2001.Biores.Technol.77:19-24.) 9. Non

essential amino acids cont. CYSTINE - Aids pancreatic health,
whichstabilizes blood sugar and carbohydratemetabolism. Has been
used to alleviate somesymptoms of food allergy and intolerance.
GLUTAMIC ACID - Has been used to reduce thecraving for alcohol and
stabilize mental health. 11. Non essential amino acids cont.

CarbohydratesPolysaccharides -Rhamnose,
Glycogen,Mannose,Xylose,Galactose. All easily absorbed by
humancells with minimal intervention of Insulin.(Shekharan et al
1987, Phytochem26:2267-69.). 15. CARBOHYDRATES cont. Does not have
cellulose in its cell wall, thereforeideal for persons with poor
intestinal absorptionproblems and geriatric patients.
(Richmond1992, Photosynthetic prokaryotes 181-210.) IMMULINA a new
high molecular weightpolysaccharide with immuno stimulatory
activityhas been isolated from Spirulina.(Pugh et al,2001,Planta
Med.67:737-42.) 16. FATS Fats Essential fatty acids GLA,
Linoleic,Arachidonic acids.(Othes & Pire, J.AOAC
Int.84:1708-1714.) Glycolipids and Sulpholipids anti viral. GLA
lowers LDL Low density lipoprotein being170 times more effective
than Linoleic acid.(Cohen 1997,Spirulina, 175 204.) 17.
Vitamins,Minerals,Trace elements All these in biologically
available form. Calcium, Iron, Phosphorous, Zinc,
Magnesium,Manganese, Selenium, Copper, Potassium,Iodine, Sodium.
Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, E, H, Pantothenicacids, Inositol, Folic
acid, Niacin.(Belay 1997, Henrikson 1994, Becker 1984,Richmond
1992.) 18. Bio flavonoids Alpha-carotene, Beta carotenes
Xanthophylin Cryptoxanthin Echinenone Zeaxanthin Lutein Chlorophyll
Porphyrin Phycocyanin,Phycoerythrin, Tetrapyrrole,Phytonadione 19.
Chlorophyll v/s Haemoglobinstructural similarity 20. Benefits of
Chlorophyll It increases peristaltic action and thus
relievesconstipation. It normalizes the secretion of digestive
acids. It soothes the inflammation and reducesexcessive pepsin
secretion associated withgastric ulcers. It It promotes granulation
(healing tissue). Promotes regeneration of damaged liver cells. 21.
Other benefits of Chlorophyll It dilates blood vessels thus
increasingcirculation to all organs. In the heart it promotes
transmission ofnerve impulses that control contraction.The heart is
slowed, yet each contractionis increased in power, thus improving
theoverall efficiency of cardiac work. 22. Bioflavonoids Porphyrin
is a red compound that forms theactive nucleus of Haemoglobin.
Phycocyanin is related to bilirubin and isimportant for healthy
liver function and digestionof amino acids. It aids
haematopoiesis(formation of blood) especially W.B.C.s.
Phycoerythrin, Tetrapyyrole, Carotenoids,Phytonadione are important
in all cellularenzymatic processes, without which cells wouldjust
disintegrate. 23. ANTI VIRAL An extract of sulfated
polysaccharides,called CalciumSpirulan showed activityagainst
Influenza A, HIV, Herpes Simplex,Cytomegalovirus, Mumps and
MeaslesViruses. Helps in reducing viral loads in AIDS 24. Obesity
Weight lossPlease God !If you cant make me thinMake my friends fat
! 25. Obesity Weight lossAt the end of four weeks
Spirulinasignificantly reduced body weight by 1.4 +/- 0.4kgms. This
study indicated no adverse effectsand no changes in clinical,
haematological andbiochemical parameters.(Becker E.W et al 1986.
Inst. Chem. Pfanz. Pub. inNutrition Reports Intl, Vol. 33, No. 4,
pg 565.Germany.) 26. CHOLESTEROL REDUCTION Spirulina consumption
reduces Serumcholesterol levels by 4.5% in 4 weeks.This is partly
due to GLA. (Henrikson1994.) Cholesterol lowering effect of
Spirulina (Nayaka et al.1986, 1988) 27. ANTI CANCER ACTIVITY
Evaluation of chemo prevention of oral cancer withspirulina.by
Babu, M. et al. 1995. Pub. in Nutrition and Cancer,Vol. 24, No. 2,
197-202. India.Evaluated the chemo preventive activity of
spirulina(1 gm./day for 12 months) in reversing oral leukoplakia
inpan tobacco chewers in Kerala, India. Completeregression of
lesions was observed in 20 of 44 (45%)evaluated subjects
supplemented with spirulina, asopposed to 3 of 43 (7%) in the
placebo arm. 28. ANTI CANCER Certain special enzymes called
Endonucleasesrepair damaged DNA to keep cells alive andhealthy.
When these enzymes are deactivated by toxinsor radiation, errors in
DNA goun-repairedand may eventually result in cancer. Spirulina
prevents deactivation ofEndonucleases, thereby preventing and
evencorrecting early cancers. 29. ANTI CANCER Spirulina extract
induces TNF suggesting atumour destruction mechanism.(Shklar
&Schwartz,1988. J.Oral & Maxillofacial Surg.,45:510-515)
Enhancement of endonuclease activity andrepair DNA synthesis by
polysaccharide ofspirulina.by Qishen, P. et al. 1988. Pub. in
ChineseGenetics Journal 15 (5) 374-381. China. 30. ANTI CANCER
Inhibitive effect and mechanism ofpolysaccharide of spirulina on
transplantedtumor cells in mice.( Lisheng, et al. 1991. Pub. in
Marine Sciences,Qingdao, N.5. pp 33-38. China.) Prevention of
experimental oral cancer byextracts of spirulina-dunaliella
algae.(J. Schwartz, G. Shklar, et al. 1988. HarvardSchool of Dental
Medicine. Pub. in Nutrition andCancer 11, 127-134. 1988. USA.) 31.
Immunomodulation Consistently improves immune function. Bone marrow
Stem cells, Macrophages, T-cells, beta cells, Natural killer cells
showenhanced activity. Spleen and Thymus gland show
enhancedfunction. Both Humoral and Cellular immunity increases.
Calcium spirulan an importantimmunomodulator. 32. Haematopoiesis
Clinical experiences of administration ofSpirulina to patients with
Hypo chromicanaemia. (Takeuchi et al 1978, Tokyo Dental
&Medical Univ.Japan.) Effects of Polysaccharide and Phycocyanin
fromSpirulina on peripheral blood andhaematopoietic system of bone
marrow in mice.(Zhang 1994, Nanjing Univ.,China) 33. KIDNEY
DETOXIFICATIONScientific studies suggests Spirulina may havea
beneficial effect for humans suffering fromheavy metal poisoning
and that kidney sideeffects may decrease when spirulina is
takenwith the administration of drugs. It prevents damage to the
kidney and reducesthe side effects of Mercury, Cisplatin,etc. 34.
Radiation protection Immunoglobulin E (IgE) of children living
inhighly radioactive areas is greatly above normal.Studies with 270
children show that consumingabout 5 grams per day of spirulina
tabletsnormalized IgE within 6 weeks. Children notconsuming
spirulina did not change IgE levels.No side effects were observed.
Spirulina lowersthe amount of IgE in the blood, which in
turnnormalizes and reduces allergies in the body. 35. Effects on
the Human body Anti viral Anti cancer Cholesterol reduction

Malnutrition and hunger by mainstreaming the use of Spirulina. 47.
Spirulina is rich inbeta-carotene that can overcome eyeproblems
caused by vitamin Adeficiency. The protein and Bvitamin complex
makes a major nutritionalimprovement in an 48. Have confidence in
