Elken Spirulina

As we have seen, it is easy to acquire nutrition, but not so easy to achieve balanced nutrition on a daily basis. Fortunately, a solution can be found in Mother Nature. Spirulina platensis, a bluegreen algae, is a nutrient powerhouse that has emerged as one of the world’s top natural foods for balanced nutrition.

10 REASONS Why Elken Spirulina is The Perfect Source Of Balanced Nutrition

1. Abundant Nutrient Variety

Elken Spirulina contains more than 100 nutrients over the 5 major nutrient groups (protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals and fat), of which 46 are essential nutrients.

2. High Concentration of Nutrients

Not only does Spirulina contain a variety of nutrients, research has also proven that it has:

1000 times more concentrated nutrients than seaweeds and vegetables (1)
56 times more Iron than spinach
30 times more Chlorophyll a than wheat grass
5 times more Protein than milk
3 times more Gamma-Linolenic Acid than evening primrose oil
3 times more Vitamin E than wheat germ (2)

3. Balanced Ratio of Nutrients

All the proteins found in Spirulina are biologically complete and well-balanced, providing all 8 essential amino acids as well as most vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in the proper ratio, making it one of the most balanced and complete supplements in the market.

4. 100% Alkaline

An alkaline body condition improves the body’s resilience against diseases and helps maintain cellular health.

5. High & Complete Protein Source

Unknown to many, Spirulina has the highest protein content of any food – about 70%. It is also the world’s most digestible source of protein, with about 12 times more usable protein than meat!

6. High in antioxidants & rare nutrients

Spirulina has very high antioxidant capabilities due to its high content of the rare SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase), a potent anti-ageing nutrient, and is the highest natural food source of beta-carotene

7. Extremely easy to digest and absorb

A single cell food with a soft cell wall (thin membrane) made of complex sugar, enzymes and protein, Elken Spirulina is extremely easy to digest and absorb compared with all vegetables and fruits and even chlorella. This makes it suitable for people with poor digestion, young children and senior citizens.

8. Healthy

Fully natural, free from cholesterol, salt and flavouring and requiring no cooking, Spirulina is recognised as the most complete food source known; winning it titles like ‘Best Health Supplement for Mankind’ (WHO) and ‘The Best Food for Tomorrow’ (UN FAO).

9. Organic cultivation

The organic cultivation of Elken Spirulina ensures that it is free from pesticide and chemical contamination, hence does not contain chemical residues, fertilisers, pesticides, antibiotics, preservatives and other additives. Organic food is also generally recognised to have 4 times more nutritional value than food produced from conventional farming.
