Get Iodine Naturally – Best Organic Iodine Supplement?

With all the health risks associated with synthetic supplements out there, its a no-brainer that you want to get iodine naturally. And there is one great natural source of iodine that I want to bring to your attention. The source is... Spirulina! Yes spirulina. If you are unfamiliar with what this is, it is called a blue-green algae but is actually a cyanobacteria that is becoming more and more popular in the recent years due to its numerous health benefits. It is considered the most nutrient dense food on the planet and holds several records for nutrient concentration. But what I want to bring to your attention here is that spirulina is NOT a very good source of iodine. Sure it contains iodine, and plenty of it, but I do not recommend that you supplement spirulina for this reason an...

How To Ferment Spirulina – A Simple Way To Do It

Uncategorized

Fermenting spirulina can be very beneficial, allowing its nutrients to be more easily absorbed. During fermentation sugars are converted into lactic acid. It kickstarts the digestion process and makes it easier for your body to get what it needs. Spirulina is often fermented for its protein content. Fermenting protein makes the individual amino acids more easily available, which means you have a better chance of absorbing them and getting your use out of them. The process of fermentation can be complicated but it doesn't have to be. I'm going to go over a very simple and easy to follow process that anyone can do, and it works just fine. How To Ferment Spirulina Steps: 1: Kefir Starter First you are going to start out with a probiotic, in this case I recommend a kefir starter. 2:

Spirulina and Constipation – What You Need To Know

Uncategorized

Constipation seems to be one of the most common talked about side effects to consuming spirulina. But is there any truth to this? Are spirulina and constipation linked? To answer this question I looked into what it is about spirulina that could potentially cause constipation. And what I found is somewhat of a mixed view. While some of the many nutrients in spirulina can cause constipation, there are also properties of spirulina that should actually reduce the chances of constipation. But lets begin by going over some of the reasons why spirulina may be causing constipation. Why Spirulina Might Be Causing Constipation Iron May Be The Cause Studies show that too high of a dietary iron intake will indeed cause constipation. And spirulina does contain a hefty amount of iron, about 2mg

Should You Take Spirulina For Eczema Treatment?

Uncategorized

As far as natural treatments go, taking spirulina for eczema is one of the better ones out there. You can find personal testimonials to spirulina's eczema curing magic, but I'm more interested in HOW exactly spirulina can benefit eczema. So I did some research and want to provide you with some of the benefits that spirulina has for eczema treatment. Gamma-linolenic Acid from Spirulina When doing some research online, I found that gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is a common treatment for skin conditions such as eczema and acne. And you guessed it, Spirulina has GLA, and a lot of it. Gamma-linolenic-acid is an omega-6 fatty acid. And according to Dr. Weil, MD, GLA has "specific nourishing effects on skin, hair, and nails that are not duplicated by omega-3 fatty acids". For skin conditions...

Taking Spirulina for Autism – Is this a good treatment or just a fluke?

Uncategorized

There are testimonials one the internet that claim taking spirulina for autism is a cure, or at least beneficial. But does this hold any truth? Or is it maybe just a coincidence that some children's autism cleared up after supplementing spirulina? Although there are no clinical studies published at this moment on the effects that spirulina has on autism, I still think its safe to conclude that spirulina, at the very least, would be beneficial to those with autism. Heavy metals accelerate and increase the chances of autism, and spirulina has the ability to absorb and remove heavy metals from the body. To understand this first you need to know how heavy metals effect autism. Heavy Metals Effects on Autism A study conducted by Dr. William Walsh, Ph.D, and Dr. Anjum Usman, MD, shows
