Spirulina, pronounced spy-ro-leena or speero-leena, is an amazing blue-green sea algae that is one of the simplest living organisms on the planet. Named spirulina because of its distinctive spiral shape under a microscope, it is a natural wonder and an amazing superfood.
Spirulina grows on the surface of clean tropical ocean water in bright nourishing sunlight. The sun triggers the growth of the nutrients in spirulina, including Vitamins A, E and K, iron, magnesium, potassium, and many B vitamins. Spirulina is a rare complete plant protein and is approximately 70% protein, compared to beef which is just 22% protein. Spirulina’s rich green color is a result of its chlorophyll, the molecule used in photosynthesis, a plant’s process of absorbing sunlight and using its energy to live and grow.
Organic powdered spirulina is a key superfood in Living Fuel’s flagship functional superfood, LivingFuel SuperGreens which features an astonishing 2, 000 mg per serving of organic spirulina from the world’s top sources. Enjoy spirulina along with over 60 other superfoods, vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants, enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics in a great-tasting whole meal superfood blend.

LivingFuel SuperHealth: Magnesium May Boost Memory
Comments Off
Involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions with the body’s cells, magnesium is a mineral that is vital for the nervous system. It is estimated that fewer than 4 of every 10 Americans meet the recommended daily allowance of magnesium.
Essential Minerals And Nutrients Needed For Bone Health
Maintaining healthy bones goes far beyond calcium and vitamin D, although these are vital. A healthy bone matrix also relies on vitamins and minerals that are rarely mentioned in the context of osteoporosis, including zinc, boron, copper, magnesium, vitamin K, silicon, folic acid, and others. This information is vital to the 10 million people, including 2 million men, who are known to suffer from osteoporosis in the United States.
Magnesium Deficiency Sets the Stage for Plaque in the Arteries
Comments Off
A new animal study shows that low levels of magnesium promotes plaque formation in the arteries. During the study period magnesium deficient animals developed significantly more plaque in their aortas.
The researchers fed rabbits a diet known to produce atherosclerotic plaque. The thickness of artery walls increased 42% in magnesium lacking animals. LDL cholesterol was highest in the magnesium lacking rabbits and lowest in the magnesium supplemented rabbits.
This study adds further science to the idea that a diet lacking in magnesium sets the stage for heart disease.
Low Magnesium Impairs Fetal Growth & Promotes Insulin Resistance
Comments Off
Mothers low in magnesium are more likely to have a smaller baby, along with low levels of adiponectin that set the stage for future insulin resistance and risk for eventually developing type II diabetes.
The important issue is that the influences of hormonal signals in the womb and first weeks following birth have a significant programming effect on metabolism that affects a lifetime.
Magnesium & Fiber Reduce Diabetes Risk
Comments Off
A Hawaiian study followed 75,512 men and women for 8 years tracking their fiber intake, magnesium intake, and the glycemic load of their diets to see who developed diabetes.
Magnesium – The Anti-Inflammatory Mineral
Comments Off
A new study of 3,713 postmenopausal women shows that magnesium is a powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient. Each 100 mg of magnesium per day was associated with a significant reduction in various inflammatory markers.
Magnesium is the most lacking mineral in the human diet. This is due primarily to Big Agribusiness farming practices that have stripped our soils of vital minerals needed for human health.
