Spirulina
is slowly becoming widely-known the world over that it is now being commercially
cultivated in delicately-controlled organic ponds that mimic its natural
habitat. This process is done primarily to eliminate any possible contamination
that can include various types of parasites, unwanted algae and species of
microbacteria to produce pure spirulina powder bulk. Currently,
the largest spirulina farms that produce commercial quantities of spirulina
powder bulk are located in the California desert where controlled cultivation
is done from the months of April to October. The ponds are supplied with water
from the Colorado River, with carbon dioxide and various minerals necessary for
photosynthesis to produce pure spirulina.
Many hours of intense exposure to the California desert sun each day
promotes the rapid growth of the spirulina bacteria. After
being harvested, spirulina is converted into a mixture of thick consistency, then
dehydrated and processed into spirulina powder. The powder is then commercially
packed and sold in various health food stores across the country. Nutritionists
say spirulina should only be used as food supplement, not as food substitute
because it produces large amounts of uric acid in the body when taken in large
quantities, and can cause irreparable damage to the kidneys. Spirulina
powder is good for you because it stimulates and maintains your immune system
making you resistant to various illnesses. It contains large amounts of carotenoids, a
powerful antioxidant that can protect you from the harmful effects of free
radicals that are abundant in the environment. It protects the heart, it lowers blood
pressure, it prevents cancer, and it has powerful antiviral properties. It
contains more beta carotene than any other whole foods providing you a healthy
supply of vitamin A. It is very rich in chlorophyll, the substance that absorbs
sunlight and uses its energy to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide
and water in a process called photosynthesis. It is very rich in protein,
accounting for 65% of its total content. Spirulina powder bulk supplements can be purchased at health food stores and at drug
counters in major shopping outlets. It is also available in both tablet and
capsule forms. Virtual online stores also sell spirulina supplement in all
three forms, the powdered form as well as tablets and capsules.
