The Nutritional Gold Mine

Spirulina is often called Nature’s Miracle Food because of its abundant nutritional profile. It is 70% protein and contains all the essential amino acids, making it a unique vegetarian source of complete protein. Better yet, its protein is 95% digestible compared to meat sources which are estimated to be only 20% digestible. Spirulina is the perfect source of high quality protein that’s easy on the body. It also contains enzymes, which naturally assist in the digestion process. Spirulina is one of the highest natural food sources for beta-carotene, which is essential for a strong immune system. It is also an excellent source of B vitamins. This nutritious food contains vitamin E, a highly bioavailable source of iron, and 14 naturally chelated minerals and trace elements.

Spirulina is a rich source of GLA (gamma linolenic acid), which is a precursor for the body’s prostaglandins, the master hormones necessary for many essential body functions. GLA is important for growth, development and proper immune function. Next to mother’s milk, Spirulina is the highest whole-food source of this important compound.

The Story of Spirulina

The story of modern day Spirulina begins with Dr. Christopher Hills. He set out to find a solution to world hunger and discovered his answer in Nature’s Miracle Food – Spirulina. Dr. Hills traveled the world teaching and promoting the significant health benefits of Spirulina. He researched better ways to grow Spirulina and shared his knowledge freely hoping to improve lives around the world. With research in hand, he set out to introduce his Miracle Food to improve the rapidly deteriorating American diet. In 1996, Christopher Hills and RBC Life Sciences founder, Clinton Howard, joined forces to continue spreading the news of Spirulina worldwide.

How is Spirulina from RBC Life Sciences Unique?

Our Organic Spirulina is cultured in controlled ponds in fresh water. It is supplied necessary nutrients for healthy growth. Paddlewheels stir the water, ensuring even exposure of the algae to the sun. The water is kept alkaline to maximize Spirulina growth and to prevent any other species from growing in the ponds.

Spirulina is then pumped into the processing plant where it is screened and washed with fresh water. After drying, a sample is taken from each batch for complete quality assurance and safety testing.

You can be assured that RBC Life Sciences offers you only safe, high quality Spirulina products.

RBC offers Spirulina in powder, tablets, capsules and in a convenient snack bar.
