Spirulina Shields Liver Health

Spirulina shows promise in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a small study shows. A type of blue-green algae, spirulina is available in supplement form and often used in juicing.

For the study, three people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were treated with 4.5 grams of spirulina daily for three months. In blood tests performed at the end of the treatment period, researchers found that the patients experienced a decrease in cholesterol levels.

Marked by accumulation of fat in the liver cells, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can lead to inflammation and scarring of the liver (and, in some cases, liver failure or cirrhosis). Often occurring in people who are overweight or obese, fatty liver has been linked to diabetes, high levels of blood fats, and insulin resistance. Research suggests that maintaining a healthy weight and getting your fill of antioxidants may help keep your liver healthy

How does Spirulina grow?

There are four major conditions for growing Spirulina.

   1. Tropical weather
   2. Strong sunshine
   3. Pure water resource
   4. Pollution free environment

It is not possible to grow Commercial Spirulina culture in a cold or temperate area. Spirulina needs consistent high temperature which helps it’s growth. Spirulina will not grow anywhere that has constant low temperature (under 25 degrees). Under 20c degrees Spirulina will stop reproducing and die in a short time.

Spirulina absorbs sunshine and then creates a reaction in it's cells.When this reaction starts, Spirulina will produce the nutrients in the cell and will convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Strong sunshine helps Spirulina produce more nutrients. Spirulina grows in alkaline saline water. Because Spirulina easily absorbs nutrients from water, if the water contains pollution or heavy metals, these will be highly concentrated in the Spirulina cell. If this happens, then this kind of Spirulina is no longer suitable for human consumption.




Our DLA Spirulina is World Class "A". Rigid monitoring of our plantations were strictly followed. Contaminants are controlled with various facilities and equipments to meet high quality standard Spirulina products.  We will not be recognized as a Class "A" Spirulina if not passing all necessary specifications and qualifications..

Who should take Spirulina?

1. Children who don’t like or get enough vegetables and or have an imbalanced food intake.
2. Teenagers during their rapid growing period need a sufficient injection of nutrients. Spirulina is ideal for this.
3. Pregnant mums who need extra nutrients.
4. Seniors who have difficulty in having reasonable average 3 meals per day.
5. Sport lovers or athletics who need extra nutrients to keep their energy levels up.
6. Modern busy people who don't have the time to eat good meals.
7. Patients or people who need high volumes of nutrients to assist recover.
8. Vegetarians who require extra nutrient sources

Huge Health Benefits

As spirulina is a natural source of food packed with essential nutrients like no other, spirulina is literally teaming with potential health benefits. Studies show that spirulina increases phagocytic activity of macrophages and stimulate antibodies and cytokines production.  Spirulina may also facilitate lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Studies demonstrate healthy benefits against several types of virus, toxicity and cancers. Spirulina is also thought to increase digestion and absorption of nutrients, prevent fatigue, support weight loss, prevent malnutrition and undernourishment, improve recovery after strenuous training, rejuvenate cells and reduce the effects of ageing. All these health benefits and many more are attributed to a near perfect combination of nutrients and antioxidants of extremely high bioavailability in spirulina.

Health against hunger

Almost 30 years ago founder of Florida whole-food nutrition company Re-Vita realized that spirulina is the perfect food to fight hunger. Bob Weatherly wanted to develop a nutrient dense natural food that would have profound health benefits, help prevent hunger and feed children suffering from malnutrition. The result came in 1986, a molecular nutrition whole-food product enriched with liquefied spirulina called Liqua Health. Re-Vita has since donated over 46 million servings to hungry and malnourished children all over the world. 

Immunity and spirulina  

In a 2002 Japanese study, 12 adult males were administered an oral hot water extract of spirulina, and the number and activity of their natural killer (NK) cells was measured before and after treatment. (NK cells destroy tumour cells by binding to them and delivering lethal chemicals that kill on contact.) At the study's end, there was a significant increase in the production and cancer-killing ability of these subjects' NK cells. When their NK cells were exposed to a bacterial product after treatment, production of interleukin-12 (IL-12), a measure of immune strength, was significantly increased in comparison to IL-12 production in NK cells without pre-exposure to spirulina. The authors concluded that spirulina acts directly and indirectly on NK cells in humans. This study suggests that the immune-enhancing effects of spirulina are persistent, as heightened immunity continued to be seen up to five weeks after the subjects stopped receiving spirulina.
