Hawaiian Spirulina

World's First and Only 100% Pure Spirulina Tablet™!

Pure Planet has perfected a unique method of producing the world's purest spirulina tablets. We do not use binders or fillers or any tableting aids in our spirulina tablets. All other manufacturers use binders, fillers, or some type of tablet press lubricants or flow agents. Another alternative other manufacturers use is the granulation method which destroys spirulina's nutritional potency by increased exposure of the spirulina to light, moisture, heat and oxygen. You can rest assured that when you use Pure Planet spirulina you get the cleanest tablets in the world!

Spirulina is a microscopic fresh water plant, an aquatic micro-vegetable/organism composed of transparent bubble-thin cells stacked end-to-end forming a helical spiral filament. Containing over 100 synergistic nutrients, it's nature's richest and most complete source of total organic nutrition. Years of pioneering research and culture experimentation have further unlocked the exciting potential of nature's richest food. A superior strain of spirulina has been developed which grows faster, bigger and is much higher in beta-carotene. Like wild sun-dried spirulina in its native habitat, our spirulina is grown in the U.S. desert regions of Hawaii and California and dried inside a state-of-the-art controlled environment at temperatures which preserve all the vital enzymes of this delicate blue-green algae.

Additionally, our new strain has a superior nutrient profile to even better fulfill the total human nutritional requirement, for instance:
· IRON levels have been increased over 300%
· CALCIUM levels have been increased over 1000%

Nature's Richest Food

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Vitamin B-12. It's two to six times richer than it's nearest rival raw beef liver. B-12 is practically a synonym for high energy.

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Biochelated Organic Iron. which is completely nontoxic. It's 58 times richer than raw spinach and 28 times richer than raw beef liver!

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Vitamin E. It's 3 times richer than raw wheat germ and its biological activity is 49% greater than synthetic vitamin E.

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Beta-Carotene (Pro Vitamin A). It's 25 times richer than raw carrots. Unlike the preformed vitamin A of synthetics and fish liver oils, beta-carotene is completely nontoxic even in mega doses.

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Antioxidants. It contains a spectrum of every natural antioxidant known, including: the antioxidant vitamins B-1 and B-6; the minerals zinc, manganese and copper; the amino acid methionine; and the superantioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin E and trace element selenium.

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Its oils are 3 times richer in GLA than evening primrose oil. Studies have indicated that GLA helps lower blood cholesterol and high blood pressure and eases such conditions as arthritis, premenstrual pain, eczema and other skin conditions.

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Chlorophyll - many times richer than alfalfa or wheat grass!

SPIRULINA is nature's richest whole-food source of Complete High-Biological Value Protein:
  Spirulina 60-70%
  Soybeans 30-35%
  Beef 18-22%
  Eggs 12-16%
  Tofu 8%
  Milk 3%

Not All Proteins are Created Equal

The proteins in spirulina are absolutely unique. * Unlike other plant proteins which are notably low in biological value (incomplete proteins) because of incomplete essential amino acids, spirulina has a high-biological value protein with a superior complete amino acid profile containing - in the correct proportions - all 8 essential amino acids plus an additional 10 nonessential amino acids.

Superior Assimilation and Easy Digestion

Spirulina contains virtually no indigestible substances. Unlike other plant foods whose nutrients are largely unavailable ( unless cooked or sprouted) because they are encased like microscopic nuts within walls of tough indigestible cellulose, spirulina's cell walls are bubble-thin complex natural sugars which practically dissolve upon contact with moisture and digestive enzymes. Within moments, its concentrated nutrients, enzymes, and living essences are absorbed into the bloodstream without the momentous loss of energy incurred in the digestion of ordinary foods.

* Unlike other high-protein foods which are characteristically difficult to digest, spirulina is extraordinarily easy to digest: it has an unmatched digestibility coefficient of 95.1%! Its amino acids are delivered in an essentially "free form" state for almost instantaneous assimilation.

The Natural Alternative

Virtually all multiple vitamin/mineral supplements today are laboratory-synthesized chemical compounds. Yet, according to internationally acclaimed author and nutritionist Dr. Paavo Airola: "It is wisest and safest to take vitamins and minerals in the form of food supplements where they occur in their natural form and strength, and in combination with all of the other nutritive factors such as enzymes and trace elements, for optimum assimilation and biological activity."

Ancient Sacred Power Plant and Space-Age Food

Ancient cultures were aware of spirulina's exceptional life-generating energy and held its remarkable energizing and rejuvenating properties in high esteem. The Aztecs considered it a "Sacred Power Plant." Priests and warriors sustained themselves (at times solely) on dried spirulina wafers. Naturally, NASA has considered spirulina as an ideal food to grow on space stations and has researched the possibility of using it on long-term flights. It would be ideal because it is one of the most efficient and fast-growing oxygen-generating foods.

Leanness and Aliveness

From around the world doctors, naturopaths, weight-loss clinics and slimmers have discovered the remarkably effective spirulina way to leanness and aliveness.

Spirulina is one of nature's richest sources of phenylalanine-slimmers claim that spirulina effectively suppresses their appetite and boosts their energy levels. Its whole food nutrition facilitates low-calorie dieting without the energy draining and health destroying nutritional deficiencies that underlie the failures of most weight-loss programs. Spirulina satisfies hunger because it fulfills the body's biochemical needs.

Dynamic Energy and Endurance

Nutritionally enlightened fitness enthusiasts, body-builders, professional coaches and competitive athletes are reporting increased energy, enhanced endurance and other exciting performance improvements with spirulina.

Hundreds of Olympic and world champion athletes use spirulina both during training and competition. Olympian Lee Evans, double gold medalist and holder of four world records in track and field, says: "Spirulina improved my training, resulting in faster times... increased my stamina and endurance." Now as a coach, Lee insists all his athletes use spirulina.
