Ecospirulin

Spirulina is a single-celled blue alga with a narrow and elongated shape; widespread in brackish waters with an alkaline pH, typical of tropical and subtropical areas. Although it falls into the category of blue algae, Spirulina is dark green in color, a shade that is given to it by the presence of chlorophyll, whose pigments cover the bluish reflections of the polycyanin and the yellow ones of the carotenoids.

Spirulina is particularly rich in proteins, essential amino acids and lipids. The fats contained in it belong to the large family of mono and polyunsaturates, with a clear prevalence of omega-6 over omega-3 and with high quantities of gamma linolenic acid; these nutrients, if well balanced with each other, are considered able to normalize blood cholesterol levels, participate in the formation of the myelin sheaths that line the nerves and improve the functionality of the immune system. Among the vitamins there is an abundance of tocopherol, Βeta carotene, inositol and some vitamins of the B group. The vitamin combination ACE (carotenoids, ascorbic acid and tocopherol) and phycobilins and other pigments (eg chlorophyll), gives Spirulina noteworthy antioxidant properties. It is active against free radicals and is able to counteract the damage that these can cause to the body.

Spirulina is also widely used by athletes, as a source of vitamins and minerals that act as enzymatic cofactors to support energy production during particularly intense muscular effort. The very high protein content (65-70 grams per 100g of food) makes Spirulina a particularly useful and nutritious food even for the sedentary population. The good amino acid profile can be a valuable aid to cover the needs of essential amino acids in people who follow a strict vegetarian (vegan) diet. Its particular cell wall, free of cellulose and mucoprotein type, also gives it good digestibility.

Spirulina also appears to have some effect on appetite control. When taken before meals, it accelerates the onset of satiety (probably due to the abundance of nutrients, especially proteins).
