Spirulina
"Nature’s Encapsulated Miracle"
Never before in the history of nutritional science has there been a
product that fully delivers the nutrient potential of the superfood Spirulina.
What is Spirulina?
Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green algae. It is a vegetable plankton
whose cells form the shape of a coiled spring (thus, the name "Spirulina," which
means "little spiral"). Unlike other plants and animals, Spirulina does not have
complicated bodies and biochemistries to maintain. Its total function is to produce
protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, amino acids, protective pigments, and many other vital
nutrients so important in human health.
The Quality Of
RBC's Spirulina
Royal
BodyCare’s Spirulina is cultured in controlled ponds in fresh water
and deep ocean water, which supplies necessary trace elements. Paddlewheels
stir the water, ensuring even exposure of the algae to the sun. The
water is kept alkaline to prevent any other species from growing in
the culture tanks. Spirulina is then pumped into the processing plant
where it is screened for toxins and washed with fresh water. After drying,
a sample is taken from each batch for complete quality assurance and
safety testing. You can be assured that Royal BodyCare offers you only
safe, high quality Spirulina products.

Note to beginners:
Everyone responds to Spirulina’s cleansing properties differently, depending
on current health and dietary history. Occasionally, Spirulina may cause
discomfort to the first time user. Signs of cleansing may include mild
headache, upset stomach, constipation, or diarrhea. Such cleansing responses
indicate a very positive process. To avoid or reduce possible discomfort,
begin taking 1/2 of the suggested use and increase slowly as your body
adjusts to this potent nutrition.
The Science Behind Spirulina Microclusters:
All nutrients must be wetted by water before the body can absorb them.
Nutrients that are not wetted will pass through the body without being absorbed. Spirulina
Microclusters is a superior bio available product because all of the nutrients in
Spirulina are 100% wetted by the Flanagan Microclusters. Every food substance has what is called a critical surface tension, which
means that if water is above that surface tension, it will not wet the food. The extremely
low surface tension of Microcluster powder added to Spirulina ensures that the Spirulina
nutrient particles are 100% wetted, immensely enhancing absorption.
Spirulina – The Ultimate SuperFood.
Did you know that Spirulina is the highest, most concentrated, whole food source containing minerals, chlorophyll and..…
• Protein: 65%-72%, easily digestible and assimilable
proteins.
• All 9 Essential Amino Acids: The "building blocks"
of the body, in a perfect, synergistic balance.
• Human Active B-12: Highest source on the planet, 12
times that of the RDA.
• Beta-Carotene, Mixed Carotenoids and Phytonutrients:
strongest concentration available.
• Chlorophyll: directly harnesses sunlight, a
powerful, strengthening pigment.
• GLA: In concentrations second only to mother’s
milk.
• Rhamnose: Rare, biologically active sugar, transports
nutrients across the blood-brain barrier.
• Glycogen: The only vegetable source for this
ready-made glucose in stored-energy form.
• Essential Fatty Acids: The much needed Omega 3- and 6-
fatty acids.
• Vitamins: In balanced concentrations.
• Over 14 Minerals: Including Iron and Magnesium,
naturally balanced and chelated for assimilation.
• Over 2,000 Active Enzymes: RNA, DNA, S.O.D and
Glycolipids
• Free of Cholesterol & Starches: Very low in sodium
and calories, high in energy.
It was the goal of a young scientist, Dr. Christopher Hills, to find the
crucial answer to world hunger. He dreamed of a world where there would be no
starving children, no diseases brought on by malnutrition, and no wars fought
over crop lands. People would live longer, healthier lives. Working with Dr.
Hiroshi Nakamura, they"re-discovered" Spirulina and its biological
superiority. It was a virtually forgotten form of food, although historical
accounts have it being harvested by man as early as 1521. After introducing this
miracle superfood to the Western world through books and lectures, Dr. Hills
became known as the "Father of Spirulina." Dr. Christopher Hills, who was
originally from England, decided to settle in California in order to grow and
market Spirulina directly to consumers. His new company, Light Force, took
off-enabling Dr. Hills to donate millions of dollars worth of Spirulina products
to feed and nourish hungry children and their parents around the world.
While continuing his research on Spirulina, Dr. Christopher Hills made another important
discovery-a powerful antioxidant complex called Phycotene, derived from
Spirulina and Dunaliella algae. Phycotene contains beta-carotene, as well as a
complex of 16 other carotenoids and micronutrients that work together to perform
different, yet complementary, nutritional functions in your body. You've
probably heard that beta-carotene plays an essential role in fighting off free
radicals in our bodies. Not many people know there are several carotenes that
are actually more potent than beta-carotene, for example, alpha-carotene,
gamma-carotene and lycopene.
You get all of these, as well as beta-carotene, in
Phycotene, exclusive to RBC - now incorporated into IMMUNE-360.
Spirulina supplies nutrients that are lacking in most of our diets. It's a
great source of nourishment. It enables children and adults who don't get the
proper amount of vegetables to get their greens in tablet form or in a delicious
Smoothie. It also provides athletes with energy and reduces recovery time.
Spirulina is not only good for people, but animals and plants thrive on it.
Gardeners use Spirulina as a complete effective foliar plant food.
