We are engaged in manufacturing, exporting, trading and supplying excellent quality Spirulina Powder in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Spirulina is a primitive unicellular blue green algae with over 60% protein content. These microscopic plants grow naturally in lakes rich in salt. Since ancient times, natives of Mexico and Africa have eaten spirulina for its nutritive value. Spirulina is a species of cyanobacteria : Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima. Spirulina is also the source of several important phytonutrients like carotenoids; essential fatty acids like gamma linolenic acid; trace minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, sulpholipids and the antioxidants enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) all of which are in a bio-available form. Since spirulina contains high levels of protein and low levels of fat, powder made from this algae is often mixed with juice as a supplement to low calorie diets. Because people with GLA deficiencies are thought to produce more fat in their bodies, it is hypothesized that supplementing with GLA could promote loss of body fat. Spirulina also contains a novel polysaccharide called calcium spirulin (CA-SP) that may have antiviral and antithrombic activity. Due to the fact that it is a rich source of antioxidants and other nutrients, spirulina may have modest cancer fighting activities as well.
