Spirulina

Spirulina is an algae rich in vitamins and minerals. Contrary to what one might think, spirulina is not a marine algae. It is originally found near volcanic lakes in Central America or Africa. Nowadays, it is cultivated all over the world: in lakes in warm regions as well as in natural basins.

Discovered many years ago, spirulina has become an excellent natural food supplement to feed impoverished populations thanks to its many elements.

This spiral-shaped algae is less than one centimeter long. Spirulina is a complete food, as it contains vitamins B12 and E, as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

The appetite-suppressing effect of spirulina

In case of hunger pangs or incomplete diets, spirulina is the ideal remedy to incorporate into your daily routine. It provides essential nutrients for the body while containing very few calories. It is therefore an excellent remedy against hunger because its nutrients help you feel full and thus limit portion sizes. Spirulina acts as a detoxifying nutrient to help eliminate excess weight by promoting the release of toxins. Chlorophyll, a component of spirulina, is also known to be a very effective detoxifier.

Spirulina for athletes

Spirulina's complete composition of nutrients and vitamins makes it the perfect ally for athletes. Its high iron content promotes muscle oxygenation. Furthermore, its iron, zinc, and mineral content improves endurance. Its high calcium and magnesium levels help prevent and combat muscle cramps. These nutrients allow athletes to reduce fatigue and thus recover more easily after exertion, enabling them to perform at their best.

The benefits of spirulina on hair and nails

Spirulina is concentrated in nutrients and trace elements that restore shine and strengthen nails and hair. It deeply nourishes the scalp thanks to its beneficial properties. Similarly, these trace elements promote hair growth and protect hair. Thanks to its iron content, spirulina helps to reduce hair loss.

In this context, spirulina can be incorporated into the composition of your shampoo or applied as a hair mask to achieve the desired effects.

But that's not the only benefit; spirulina also shows promise for strengthening your nails. In case of nutrient deficiencies, nails can break or thin. Again, spirulina combats nail defects and strengthens their surface, while also promoting nail growth.

The benefits of spirulina on the skin

The molecules present in spirulina possess antioxidant and skin-regenerating properties.

  1. Anti-aging : Every day, particles are deposited on our skin, causing skin and cell aging and the appearance of wrinkles. Certain components of spirulina release molecules that slow down skin aging. As a result, the epidermis regains suppleness and softness. It also preserves the skin's elasticity thanks to amino acids.
  2. Collagen booster : Skin collagen helps maintain its elasticity. Over time, collagen levels decrease, leading to skin imperfections such as wrinkles and stretch marks. This is why it's important to maintain a certain level of collagen in the body. All the components of spirulina help produce and maintain the collagen levels necessary for supple skin.
  3. A healthy glow : Beta-carotene (Vitamin A), found in spirulina, helps activate tanning by stimulating melanin production and protects the skin from UV rays. This allows you to maintain a sun-kissed complexion year-round. Spirulina is therefore excellent for the skin, keeping it fresh and rested. It is also excellent for acne and helps absorb impurities (enlarged pores).

The benefits for vegans and vegetarians

Spirulina is rich in vitamins and minerals. This algae is a superfood because its protein content is two to three times higher than that of lean meat or fish. Vitamin B12, found in spirulina, is often the most difficult vitamin to obtain from certain foods, especially in a meat-free diet where no plant-based source contains this vitamin. Spirulina is 30 times richer in iron than spinach and has a high concentration of calcium, surpassing that of milk.

Therefore, spirulina represents an important source of vitamins for vegans and vegetarians.
