Creative Nature - Spirulina Powder 300g
Creative Nature-Spirulina Powder (Hawaiian) (300g)What am I? Spirulina is a Blue green micro algae that harvests the energy of the sun, growing a treasure of bio available nutrients. It was one of the first photosynthetic life forms on earth, 3.6 billion years ago and it helped produce the oxygen in our atmosphere that has allowed all higher life forms to evolve. Spirulina contains billions of years of successful evolutionary wisdom coded in its DNA.
What’s in me? Spirulina is a natural wholefood. It is 60% all-vegetable protein. It contains a complete range of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients and is especially rich in chlorophyll. Vitamin B12, beta-carotene, Iron, Calcium and the rare essential fatty acid, GLA. It is also one of the richest sources of arginine, an amino acid which promotes the release of growth hormones which stimulate the body’s own regenerative processes.
What can I be used for? Spirulina boosts energy and supports cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol. To provide a high level of antioxidant protection. To Stimulate the metabolism. As a high protein nutritional supplement.
Dosage - Powder: 1- 10 grams per day. The powder can be mixed into foods and smoothies, or taken as a ‘shot’, mixed with small amount of juice or water. - Tablets: 3 - 20 tablets per day. Each tablet is 500mg. Six is a good starting dosage.
Newsflash: Creative Nature Spirulina just got even better!!
Creative Nature has never been tempted to source cheaper, inferior Spirulina from other countries. We have always maintained our dedication to therapeutic quality by sourcing only from the perfect climate of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Spirulina is now grown in many countries including India and China, but because of unique environmental conditions and state of the art growing and processing, the highest quality spirulina is still only produced in Hawaii, only here has Spirulina attained “GRAS Status,” (Generally Recognized as Safe, by the US FDA for all food, beverage and supplement applications.)
Kailua-Kona in Hawaii is one of the sunniest coastal locations in the world, providing perfect year-round temperatures and a 12- month growing season. Other Spirulina farms must shut down for a few months due to weather that is either too hot in the tropics or too cold in temperate regions. Our farm is situated in a bio-secure zone, selected as an environment in harmony with nature. Free of contaminants, pesticides, industrial waste and herbicides.
Only here has the select strain of Arthrospira Platensis been developed over many years of cultivation. In fact, this superior strain, grown by our Hawaiian farm represents the oldest continuously cultivated and harvested Spirulina in the world. It has been extensively analyzed by molecular biologists who have identified unique enzymes not previously found in other strains of Spirulina Platensis.
There are several reasons for the exceptional quality of Creative Natures ‘Hawaiian’ Spirulina. Firstly our ponds are filled with 100% potable drinking water drawn from the wells fed by the rainforest aquifer, we then supplement this pure water with deep ocean water drawn from the world's cleanest, deepest ocean, via a pipeline that travels more than 2000 feet into the sea. Oceanographers tell us this water has been below the surface for over 2500 years. Deep water from the Pacific makes a very slow migration that starts at the poles. This deep water stays in a distinct layer, travelling like a very slowly moving river toward the tropics. Our pipeline brings this ultra-pure, mineral rich water to our ponds. This vital resource provides a rich mixture of calcium, magnesium and trace minerals. To our knowledge, our Spirulina farm is the only farm in the world that pays for its water; other farms use river water or irrigation water. No other spirulina is grown with such a rich source of naturally occurring nutrients.
Once the spirulina is harvested fresh from the ponds, it is imperative that the important, sensitive nutrients it contains are protected against damaging oxidation.
One of the unique methods used by our farm to protect against oxidation is in the drying process. We use a patented Ocean-Chill Drying technique which protects the wide range of delicate phytonutrients and enzymes which are found in Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica.
This is a process whereby the air used in the spray drier is put through a column of cold, deep ocean water pumped up from 2000ft. This 'rips' the oxygen from the dryer's air, exposing the spirulina to far less oxidation than with conventional spray drying. Using this unique process means that ‘Creative Nature’ Spirulina retains far more delicate nutrients such as beta-carotene and superoxide-dismutase and much higher levels of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and enzymes than any other brand.
This all sounds pretty good I know! But wait… it just got even better!
Our grower has now developed a new feeding and cultivation strategy which has increased the potency of this exceptional Spirulina even further! Latest test reveal the following advances:
200% increase in Zeaxanthin (Beneficial for eye and brain health)
200% increase in Iron (An essential nutrient necessary for growth)
15% increase in total Carotenoids (Antioxidants to support the immune system)
62% increase in B12 (An essential nutrient necessary for energy and healthy blood)
Spirulina began nourishing our lives 3.6 billion years ago! It was in fact one of the first plants on our planet to begin photosynthesis and thus release oxygen into our atmosphere which eventually gave rise to our very existence! Now, 3.6 billion years later and it is still nourishing our lives by providing us with exceptional nutrition. Spirulina is truly a plant worthy of the term… Superfood!
