Spirulina(scientific name: Spirulina) is a type of prokaryotes, composed of single-cell or multi-cell filaments, 200-500 μm long, 5-10 μm wide, cylindrical, in a loose or tight regular spiral shape It is curved and shaped like a clock spring, hence its name. It has the effects of reducing the toxic and side effects of tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improving immune function, and lowering blood lipids.
01.Main value and health benefits
With the continuous development of modern medicine, the health benefits of spirulina are becoming more and more known to people. So what are the functions of spirulina? Let’s take a look:
Reduce cholesterol
Lowering cholesterol can effectively prevent the onset of heart disease and stroke. The Y-linolenic acid in spirulina can reduce the cholesterol contained in the human body, thereby effectively reducing high blood pressure, preventing heart disease and reducing cholesterol.
Regulate blood sugar
Spirulina contains spirulina polysaccharide, magnesium, chromium and other hypoglycemic substances, which can regulate blood sugar metabolism through various ways (such as promoting insulin secretion, slowing down sugar absorption, promoting material metabolism, antioxidant, etc.).
Strengthen immune system
Spirulina has immune-enhancing effects because both phycosan and phycocyanin in spirulina can enhance the proliferation activity of bone marrow cells, promote the growth of immune organs such as the thymus and spleen, and promote the biosynthesis of serum proteins.
Protect intestines and stomach
Most patients with stomach problems suffer from hyperacidity, which leads to gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases. Spirulina is an alkaline food. Spirulina contains high levels of plant-based protein and rich chlorophyll, β-carotene, etc. These nutrients It is extremely effective in neutralizing gastric acid and repairing, regenerating and normal secreting functions of gastrointestinal mucosa. It is especially suitable for gastrointestinal patients. By improving the intestinal environment, it also has auxiliary treatment significance for patients with diabetes. Spirulina can improve emergency response capabilities, and has certain preventive and protective effects on diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver, and kidney damage.
Anti-tumor, prevent cancer and suppress cancer
The mechanism of action of anti-mutation and anti-cancer drugs is related to the repair of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The algae polysaccharide, β-carotene, and phycocyanin in Spirulina all have this effect. Therefore, Spirulina has shown excellent anti-tumor and anti-cancer effects. play an important role.
Prevent hyperlipidemia
Spirulina contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, of which linoleic acid and linolenic acid account for 45% of the total fatty acids. They are important components of the phospholipids in the mitochondria of the cell membrane and can prevent the accumulation of total cholesterol and triglycerides in the liver and blood vessels. Avoid damaging the normal physiological functions of the cardiovascular system.
Antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-fatigue
Free radicals are one of the root causes of aging and disease in the human body. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) can catalyze the disproportionation reaction to remove free radicals. Spirulina can reduce oxygen free radical damage caused by exercise, protect cell membrane structure, and has anti-exercise fatigue effects.
Spirulina polysaccharide anti-radiation
The anti-radiation mechanism of Spirulina is related to the following factors: (1) Spirulina contains a large amount of phycocyanin and algae polysaccharide, rich in protein and multiple vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin E, etc.), β-carotene and trace elements (Se, zinc, iron, etc.) and other biologically active ingredients can increase the body’s immune function and relieve and reduce the inhibitory effect of radiation on the immune system. (2) Spirulina has a strong antioxidant effect, which can enhance the body’s antioxidant enzyme activity and capture free radicals, thereby reducing DNA damage caused by the formation of free radicals triggered by radiation. (3) Spirulina is rich in iron, vitamin B12 and chlorophyll, which promotes hematopoietic function and alleviates the suppression of bone marrow hematopoietic function by radiation.
Improve iron deficiency anemia
Iron deficiency anemia is a very common phenomenon, and spirulina is extremely rich in iron and chlorophyll. These nutrients can effectively improve the anemia condition of the human body. Spirulina is rich in active iron, vitamin B12 and chlorophyll, which are raw materials and coenzymes for the synthesis of hemoglobin. Moreover, the phycocyanin and algae polysaccharide in spirulina can enhance the ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to orthochromatic erythrocytes in mouse bone marrow. , therefore Spirulina can promote hemoglobin synthesis and bone marrow hematopoietic function in many aspects, and play an anti-anemia role.
02.Spirulina nutrition facts
The nutritional content of Spirulina is characterized by high protein content, low fat and fiber content, and it also contains a wide variety of vitamins. It is the food with the highest vitamin B12 and beta-carotene content. In addition, it is the most absorbable food among all foods. It has the highest iron content, and is also found to contain algae protein with anti-tumor effects, as well as a large number of other mineral elements and biologically active substances that improve the body’s immunity.
Spirulinapolysaccharide is the main form of carbohydrate in Spirulina algae, with a content as high as 14% to 16% of dry weight. Almost all the lipids contained in spirulina are important unsaturated fatty acids, and the cholesterol content is very small. The protein content of spirulina is as high as 60% to 72%, which is equivalent to 1.7 times that of soybeans, 6 times that of wheat, 9.3 times that of corn, 3.1 times that of chicken, 3.5 times that of beef, 3.7 times that of fish, 7 times that of pork, and 7 times that of eggs. 4.6 times that of whole milk powder and 2.9 times that of whole milk powder. Spirulina is rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and vitamin E. It can be said that it concentrates all kinds of vitamins that the human body needs most at a full price.
Spirulina is also a natural treasure house of chlorophyll. It is abundant in quantity and high in quality, accounting for 1.1% of the algae body, which is 2 to 3 times that of most land plants and 10 times that of ordinary vegetables. The main type of chlorophyll contained in Spirulina is chlorophyll a. Its molecular structure is very similar to human heme. It is the direct raw material for human synthesis of hemoglobin. It can be called “green blood”, and its content is as high as 7600mg/kg algae powder.
Spirulina contains all essential amino acids for the human body, and the lysine content is as high as 4% to 4.8%. Compared with animal and plant source foods, it is closest to the recommended standards of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and its composition is balanced and its absorption and utilization rate by the human body is particularly high.
Spirulina is rich in minerals needed by the human body. Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, sodium, manganese, zinc, potassium, chlorine, etc. account for about 9% of the total mineral content in the algae. The iron content is 20 times that of ordinary iron-containing foods; the calcium content is 10 times that of milk.
