WHAT IS SPIRULINA?

Life on earth began in the sea. The first food sources were mosses and algae. Spirulina is ONE OF THE MOST ANCIENT PREHISTORIC LIFE FORMS, with a record 350 MILLION YEARS of existence until today.
Currently, there are around 35 TYPES OF SPIRULINA in the world. Spirulina with larger dimensions which can be consumed by humans are : -
  1. ARTHROPIRA
  2. ARTHROPIRA (SPIRULINA) MAXIMA
  3. ARTHROPIRA (SPIRULINA) PLATENSIS

According to America's Number One Guide to Natural Health (1,500,000 copies sold) Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Spirulina is a microalgae that thrives in hot, sunny climates and in alkaline water around the world...it contains concentrations of nutrients unlike any other single grain, herb or plant.

And another sources said that, Spirulina is 1000 times higher in concentrated nutrients compared to regular seaweeds and vegetables. When consumed daily, spirulina will replenish nutrients that are lacking as a result of a diet low in fruits and vegetable, provide balance nutrition and improve acidic body conditions.

Balanced Nutrition is our best defence against degenerative diseases. To obtain balanced nutrition, some people consume organic food while others indiscrimantely consume supplements. Many people also argue that "We can get everything we need from our daily diet." How true is this statement?


In reality, even health-conscious eaters find it difficult to ensure that they receive the full range of essential nutrients in their daily diet. Here are some reasons leading to imbalanced nutrition in our daily diet :




  1. Soil mineral depletion causing crop's nutrient content to decrease.


  2. Overcooked food


  3. processed food


  4. Improper food storage


  5. Unhealthy food habits - picky/choosy eaters for example like me.(lol)

On top of our daily diet, suitable nutritional supplements can help to ensure sufficient nutrient intake to assist essential nutrient absorption. Choose Elken Spirulina as your health partner as it has the most comprehensive, balanced nutrition and 100% natural organic nutrients of the highest quality.
