Consumption of DXN SpirulinaThe suggested regular intake or consumption of DXN Spirulina is 6 capsules a day or 2 capsules each meal. Person on diet, on the other hand, can take 6 capsules each meal or thrice a day before meal. However, Spirulina can be consumed unlimitedly without any side effects because it is not toxic.
BENEFITS OF SPIRULINAAccording to a clinical research performed by medical scientist in Russia, Spirulina helps to protect the body from infection by increasing general immunity. It has the capactiy to stimulate the production of antibodies, which wards off viruses and bacteria.
Another research in Japan stated that Spirulina helps build strong lactobacillus in the intestines, which provides three major benefits:
Helps strengthen body immune system:Pycocyanin and chlorophyll are phytonutrients not readily available in other food. These two are greatly responsible in strengthening the immune system by accelerating our body's production of antibodies and cytokines for better protection agains bacterial and infectious agents.
Better digestion and absorption:There is one microorganism in human intestine called lactobacillus, which helps in digestion and absorption of food, prevent infection and activate the immunity. With its enormous benefits, Spirulin has become a great hit to take lactobacillus as food supplement. Spirulina can activate lactobacillus in intestine and help improve absorption of Vitamin B2. Taking Spirulina is useful to increase lactobacillus in intestine and absorption of Vitamin B1 and other vitamin.
Protection from infection and radiation:Spirulina suppresses bacteria like e-coli, and stimulates beneficial flora to assure protection against infection and maximum nutrition from food that is eaten. High organic content of Spirulina also helps counter the effects of radiation.
Other researches carried out by various institutions in the world show that Spirulina has a major effect in humans' total health care and disease prevention. These are as follows:
Energy booster. Spirulina helps increases energy and alertness. It is a highly digestible food supplement thus transformation of nutrients to energy is faster than any other product in the market.
Reduces cholesterol level, heart diseases and cancer risks.Department of Internal Medicine of Tokai University in Japan noted in 1988 that "Spirulina is capalbe of lowering serum cholesterol and is possible to reduce the risks of heart diseases." US National Research Council reported in 1982 that "eating food rich in beta-carotene reduces the risk of all kinds of cancer."
Beta carotene, which has been studied and reported to prevent the formation of oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or "bad cholesterol" and prevent cancer activities, is highly present in Spirulina.
Helps weight loss. Satisfying our appetite with Spirulina, when take before meals, is said to be an effective way to lose weight. It is rich in protein, B-vitamis, minerals, gamma linelonic acid (GLA), and other micro-nutrients. Also, the amino acid phenylalanine found in Spirulina affects the appetite center of the brain, which then suppresses ones appetite. GLA is an essential fatty acid that also helps reduce cholesterol levels and at the same time decreases the risk of hypertension.
