The human body requires a regular supply of essential minerals and nutrients. When these requirements are met, the body can better fortify itself against invasion and disease. Minerals and amino acids are important to proper growth in children. Many of these essential nutrients are deficient in our daily diet, but can be supplemented with herbs. ChloroPlasma provides one of the richest sources of important minerals and nutrients your body needs to achieve total well-being.* ChloroPlasma contains pure salt-water blue-green algae (spirulina). One of the most comprehensive sources of nutrition known to man is found in spirulina, a plant that grows in the seas of the South Pacific. Porpoises, whales and other marine mammals depend on this algae as one of their main food sources. The mammals’ apparent ability to withstand the detrimental effects of toxic metals and pollutants stimulated scientists to investigate the nutritional value of blue-green algae. Blue-green algae are one-celled plants that have been growing in the ocean for thousands of years. Only recently has this protein-packed food source become recognized in the scientific and health communities s a miraculous source of nutrition.
Blue-green algae are up to 76 percent protein and are an excellent source of chlorophyll, minerals, the B vitamins and beta-carotene. Because the blue-green algae found in ChloroPlasma are harvested only from seawater cultivation, this product has a distinct advantage over similar products currently available.
Spirulina consists of one or more members of a family of blue-green algae. The spiral shapes in which these plants array themselves as they grow inspired the name. Spirulina grows in the wild in salty lakes in Mexico and on the African continent. It reproduces quickly, and because the individual plants tend to stick together, it is easy to harvest. Records of the Spanish conquistadores suggest that the Aztecs used spirulina as a food source. It is also well known that the Kanembu people of Central Africa harvested it from what is now called Lake Chad. This plant contains high levels of various B vitamins, beta-carotene, other carotenoids, and minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium and zinc.
It is also a source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Spirulina is a rich source of protein. In fact, dried spirulina contains up to 70 percent protein by weight. It also contains vitamin B12, a nutrient otherwise found almost exclusively in animal foods.
