Spirulina is a kind of lower organism, prokaryote, which is composed of single cells or multi-cells. It has a length of 200-500μm and a width of 5- 10μm, and is cylindrical. It is loosely or tightly twisted in a regular spiral shape and shaped like a clockwork, hence its name. It has the effects of reducing the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cancer, improving immune function and reducing blood lipid.
Spirulina has effects in caring skin, removing acne and chloasma, and resisting aging. For women, spirulina not only has the effect of beautifying and rejuvenating skin, but also has the effect of losing weight. It also has anti-aging, anti-hypoxia, anti-fatigue, anti-radiation, blood lipid lowering, blood pressure lowering, liver nourishing and stomach protecting effects.
Spirulina is an ultra-alkaline food, which is rich in alkaline minerals (especially potassium and calcium), which can maintain the balance of pH value in blood, lower cholesterol, alleviate the symptoms of hypertension and heart disease or reduce its incidence.

Extended information: 1. Introduction of Spirulina:
1. Spirulina (scientific name: Spirulina) is a kind of lower organisms, prokaryotes, filaments composed of single cells or multiple cells, with a length of 200-500μm and a width of 5- 10μm, which is cylindrical, loosely or tightly twisted in a regular spiral shape, and shaped like clockwork, hence its name. It has the effects of reducing the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cancer, improving immune function and reducing blood lipid.
2. Spirulina, also known as "Arthrospira". Cyanophyta, Trematodaceae. Algae are unbranched filaments composed of single-row cells, with no or only very thin colloid sheath and regular spiral shape to form algal growth segments. There are no heterocyst and posterior wall spores. About 38 species, most of which grow in alkaline salt lakes.
3. At present, there are large-scale artificial cultures at home and abroad, mainly Spirulina platensis, Spirulina maxima and Spirulina India. Edible, nutritious, with protein content as high as 60%-70%. In natural waters, its massive reproduction will form water blooms.
4. The optimum growth temperature of spirulina is 35-37℃, which has good heat resistance. The optimum growth pH range is 3- 1 1.0, and when the pH is higher than 1 1.0, it will be unfavorable for growth. Under the condition of normal nutrition and temperature, light becomes an important factor affecting the growth of spirulina, and it is cultivated outdoors.
5. The light source is mainly the sun; In the experiment, a cold white light source is generally used, and the light intensity required for growth and culture is about 3700-4000lx, and it is about 1 100lx when maintaining culture. The growth of spirulina platensis is not only affected by light intensity, but also has different reactions due to different color values of light. ?
Second, the health care effect
1. Cholesterol reduction can effectively prevent the attack of heart disease and stroke. Y-linolenic acid in spirulina can reduce the cholesterol contained in human body, thus effectively reducing hypertension and preventing heart disease and lowering cholesterol.
2. Spirulina contains spirulina polysaccharide, magnesium, chromium and other hypoglycemic substances, which can regulate blood glucose metabolism through various ways (such as promoting insulin secretion, slowing sugar absorption, promoting substance metabolism, and resisting oxidation). ?
3. Spirulina can enhance the proliferation activity of bone marrow cells, promote the growth of immune organs such as thymus and spleen, and promote the biosynthesis of serum proteins, so Spirulina has an immune enhancement effect.
4. Most patients with gastropathy have hyperacidity, which leads to gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases. Spirulina is an alkaline food. Spirulina is rich in protein, chlorophyll, β-carotene and so on. These nutrients are very effective in neutralizing gastric acid and repairing, regenerating and secreting gastrointestinal mucosa.
5. It is especially suitable for gastrointestinal patients. Through the good improvement of intestinal environment, it also has the significance of adjuvant treatment for patients with diabetes. Spirulina can improve emergency response ability, and has certain preventive and protective effects on diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver and renal damage.
6. The mechanism of anti-mutation and anti-cancer drugs is related to the repair of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and phycocyanin, β -carotene and phycocyanin in spirulina all have this effect, so spirulina has played an important role in anti-tumor and anti-cancer.
