DXN SPIRULINA CEREAL
Spirulina is
well-known as a balanced food while high fiber cereals are usually recommended
by nutritionists. DXN Spirulina Cereal, made from high quality cereals and
spirulina powder offers one of the best source of nutrition.

Health benefits of Spirulina
Spirulina
works in many ways to balance and strengthen our health. Its rich array of
nutrients provides a strong foundation so we are less vulnerable to invading
bacteria and viruses.
It supplies
essential minerals that may be missing from conventional foods grown in
depleted soils. Spirulina grows in water containing ionic trace minerals that
are absorbed and chelated by the organism, creating a colloidal form easily
absorbed by our bodies. The prime directive of our bodies is to support our
immune system. When our immune system is stressed it draws down metabolic
energy. People with immune system imbalances may feel chronic fatigue and low
energy. Spirulina can help balance and stabilize the immune system, freeing up
metabolic energy for vitality, healing and assimilation of nutrients.
Its
polysaccharides enhance cellular communication processes and the ability to
read and repair DNA. People taking Spirulina usually feel greatly energized.
Spirulina also stimulates the immune system by enhancing the production of
antibodies and cytokines. Under the influence of Spirulina, macrophages, T and
B cells, are activated. Spirulina sulfolipids have been proven effective
against HIV, herpes virus, cytomegalovirus, and influenza virus. Spirulina
contributes to the growth and preservation of the resident intestinal
microflora, especially lactic acid bacilli and bifidobacteria, and to a
decreased level of Candida albicans.
Spirulina and
the immune system
Several recent
studies have demonstrated the immune enhancing and cancer preventative
properties of Spirulina. The February,
2008 Food and
Chemical Toxicity journal reports a study investigating the antimutagenic
effects of Spirulina on rat genes.
Loss of
genetic integrity was greatly reduced in the Spirulina fed groups, and semen
quality was improved. International Immunopharmacology, reports researchers
finding that a polysaccharide fraction called Immulina, from Spirulina,
enhanced immune response in mice through enhanced production of IgA,
interleukin-6, and interferon-gamma. The 2005 Current Pharmacological
Biotechnology journal reports a study finding that Spirulina increases immunity
through increased phagocytic activity of macrophages, stimulates production of
antibodies and cytokines, increases accumulation of NK cells into tissue, and
activates and mobilizes T and B cells.
Carcinogenesis
was inhibited due to the antioxidant properties that protect and reduce
toxicity of the liver, kidney and testes. Biochemical Biophysical Research
Community Journal, 2003, reports a finding that phycocyanin, one of the major
biliproteins of Spirulina with antioxidant and scavenging properties, inhibits
inflammation and growth of out of control cells through Cox-2 inhibition,
resulting in apoptosis of those cells.
Spirulina’s
increased antioxidant protection reduces cancer risks
The free
radical molecules generated by pollution, poor diet choices, stress and injury
damage the cells of our bodies. Antioxidant nutrients fight these free radicals
and stimulate our immune system to guard against cancer and other diseases.
They also modulate the aging process. Spirulina contains a wealth of
antioxidant vitamins C and E, and beta carotene, as well as the antioxidant
minerals selenium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron and chromium. Research has shown
Spirulina to protect vitamin C from potency loss.
The
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety Journal, April, 2008 reports a study
finding that Spirulina plays a role in reducing the toxic effect of cadmium,
through its antioxidant properties that seem to mediate a protective effect.
The April, 2008 Phytotherapy Research finds that Spirulina preparations were
useful for reducing oxidative stress and the generation of free radicals in the
course of inflammatory processes. Food Chemical Toxicology, December, 2007,
reports a study finding that Spirulina provides protection against mercuric
chloride induced oxidative stress.
Spirulina
enhances the cardiovascular system Scientists around the world have been
confirming Spirulina cholesterol lowering benefits and its ability to lower
blood pressure.
Studies with
men in Japan and India showed that several grams of Spirulina daily can reduce
serum LDL and raise HDL.
Human studies
in Germany and India found a weight reduction effect along with cholesterol
reduction. A 2007 study from Lipids Health Digest reports a study involving 36
human subjects ingesting 4.5 grams of Spirulina daily for 6 weeks.
With no other
modifications in their diets or lifestyles during the duration of the
experiment, a hypolipidemic effect was shown. Triacylglycerols and LDL
cholesterol concentrations were directly lowered.
Total
cholesterol and HDL cholesterol were indirectly lowered. Reduced systolic and
diastolic blood pressure was also reported.
