Have you ever tried Spirulina? This blue-green algae is a KEY SUPERFOOD in Nutrition for Beauty and Anti-Aging. It's so easy to sneak more beauty nutrients into a busy lifestyle by including this superfood - it's easily
blended into water, beverages, smoothies or you can take it in pill form!
Here's 10 Reasons to Include this BEAUTY & ANTI-AGING SUPERFOOD DAILY (in powder or pill form)...
Bye-Bye Fine Lines and Wrinkles
When taken internally (and also used in facial masks), Spirulina is outstanding at improving skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and giving that oh-so desired glow to your skin. It's definitely a top Beauty Food!
Collagen and Elastin
To maintain your skin’s collagen and elastin levels (two kinds of skin-specific proteins), various amino acids are necessary. Adequate daily protein intake is crucial for providing these amino acids. Spirulina is known as THE QUEEN OF protein - more than 60% of spirulina is made up of protein amino acids. It is a pure, raw source of complete protein, which makes it a perfect option if you're looking for a greens supplement while also boosting your protein intake.
Antioxidant POWERHOUSE
Spirulina is rich in important antioxidants, like phytonutrients and carotenoids, that help defend your body and skin from free radicals. It increases skin metabolism, resulting in neutralization of free radicals and other toxins that cause premature signs of aging. It has a high content of vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin B12 - all key vitamins for transforming sagging, tired-looking skin into a more youthful, radiant complexion. It also prevents wide-spread free radical growth - putting a huge hault on premature aging!
Anti-Inflammation
Spirulina is very rich in Gama-linolenic Acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that helps your body fight inflammation, and reduces inflammation in the skin.
Healthy hair and nails
The healthy fats (particularly GLA) and wide range of minerals in spirulina are important in achieving and maintaining healthy nails and shiny, healthy hair.
Detox
Because it contains remarkably high concentrations of Clorophyll (the green pigment found in plants),
Spirulina is one of the most potent natural cleansing foods. Chlorophyll aids in the body's elimination of heavy metals and toxins - which means brighter eyes, clearer skin and better weight management.
Dark Circles Be Gone
Because of its potent detoxifying effects, spirulina strengthens the body’s immune system, which translates into naturally stronger skin. Dark circles, shadows, eye (and eye skin) irritation and general dryness are all reduced by taking this detox gem.
Anti-Acne
Struggle with persistent acne? See acne improve as spirulina helps to eliminate the surface bacteria that’s responsible for those annoying and painful breakouts.
ENERGY BOOSTER
Feeling low in energy? Maybe you're low in iron or anemic. Spirulina contains iron, which helps create more energy and give you a daily boost!
Weight control AND MANAGEMENT
Spirulina is high in fiber - it will keep you feeling fuller longer, which means better portion control and overall weight management. Also, adequate daily fiber intake is KEY in Anti-Aging (another whole discussion in itself!).
Always talk to your doctor before taking spirulina, as it has been shown to interact with certain medications and medical conditions. If pregnant or breastfeeding, please talk to your doctor before taking spirulina.
