Dr. Christopher Hills was fascinated by Spirulina. His experience of Spirulina is enormous. He wrote many books about his experience with Spirulina, the miraculous algae. Twenty years went by after his research and published papers. I knew about Spirulina before, but when I found more literature about Spirulina, I wondered why nobody uses so much of these nutraceutical algae as a food supplement.

Spirulina is a nutraceutical food that has all the needed amino acids, proteins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and vitamins that can keep your body in shape without having any side effects.

Health nuts or self-conscious people

People who take care of themselves eat nutritious food. They exercise. They use techniques to relax from everyday stress.  They know what Spirulina is. These people use Spirulina with smoothies or take tablets or pills. Of course, there can be exceptions because there are so many great options to feel well.

Slimming with Spirulina

Spirulina is a highly concentrated food supplement. Spirulina consists of natural and efficient proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, minerals,  and vitamins.

Spirulina is a product of nature. It is not a chemical product. Spirulina is full of vital nutrients which are easily absorbed by the body. The body recognizes it and knows that it got satisfaction from this food supplement.

According to Dr.Christopher Hills, if people consistently take Spirulina, they could have the right weight. Of course, it takes time to adjust. The metabolism in the body normalizes. People will begin to lose weight. Remember, no cheating.

How is safe Spirulina?

Spirulina was consumed and is consumed now by various civilizations. Mayans and Aztecs created enormous kingdoms and were known as great civilizations. They used Spirulina too as the people who lived and live currently in Africa, by Lake Chad.

There are a couple of excerpts from books about Spirulina.

United Nations Industrial Development Organization ( a division of the United Nations) commissioned and published a five-year toxicology study on Spirulina, finding it nontoxic.( Christopher Hills, “The Joy of Slimming” 31)

.. that independent feeding tests have shown no toxic or adverse effects in the humans, rats, pigs, and chickens… To date, there are no drug interactions reported with Spirulina. The United Nations Organization(UNO) has recommended Spirulina as the ideal food for mankind and the World Health Organization(WHO) has also declared Spirulina as a safe food  with excellent nutritional value.(M.E.Gershwin and Amha Belay “Spirulina in Human Nutrition and Health“159)

I prefer authentic sources about subjects because these facts about Spirulina as a food supplement are proven by experts, scientists,  and doctors.

Nevertheless, if somebody has problems, they must consult a doctor before trying any new food or supplement.

Experience about Spirulina

The feedback from happy customers

Unsolicited letters were published in the book The Whole Truth about Spirulina. People from various states described experiences with the usage of Spirulina. Doctors, moms, seniors, and marathon runners were fascinated with how Spirulina helps them.

Some people felt increased energy, happiness,  and joy: some of the consumers were rid of allergies and snacking habits. Many people expressed delight about shiny hair, more profound meditations, less need for sleep, lost weight, and many more achievements regarding well-being.

I used by myself Spirulina sporadically because I did not feel the need. Now I started to take a few tablets every day. I am fine. I can tell that I am relaxed, and I ignore drivers who cut ahead of me. I think that it is an outstanding achievement for me. My experience with Spirulina is a positive one.

How about you? Did you hear about Spirulina? Did you use it as a food supplement? I would be glad to hear from you.

What is Spirulina? Part 1. Spirulina is a one-celled form of blue-greenish algae that formed on the Earth thousands of years ago. Spirulina was consumed by living beings as long as it was recorded in food sources.

What is Spirulina?

Food for Mayan and Aztec people

Spanish conquistadores conquered the Aztec empire in February 1519. The end for the Aztecs was after two years. Spanish warriors discovered that native people ate maize, squash,  beans,  and green scum during this time. This green material was abundant on Lake Texcoco of the Teotihuacan Valley. Here Mexico City stands today.

The name for this green scum was tecuitlatl. Aztecs traded green algae as a food source. When the Spanish came, they did not catch and understand the importance of blue algae.

Aztecs grew Spirulina on the floating gardens, so-called chinampas. The blue algae produced more protein than the land could provide. Unfortunately, conquistadores did not understand it, and they began to restore swamps and lakes to make a tillable land surface.

Aztecs used Spirulina as the food source for proteins. Their civilization was notable for the large population, slavery, polygamy, and barbaric customs such as ritual cannibalism and human sacrifice.

Mayans lived in Central America in a jungle environment. They developed waterways and artificially constructed ponds. Scientists think that these lakes, probably for Spirulina, were dispersed through the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula. Without Spirulina, the Mayan population of two million could barely survive in forests.

Rediscovery of Spirulina

A Belgian botanist Jean Leonard visited the Sahara Desert in 1964. When he reached Lake Chad, Leonard discovered the local people were gathering and scooping green scum with baskets. This green material was dried in the sun and later eaten or traded as food on the local market.

Back home, Jean Leonard published a report about Spirulina as food. Several French engineers were interested. A Japanese scientist named Hiroshi Nakamura read about Spirulina projects, which the French National Petroleum Center performed with Nakamura long ago. He was engaged in Spirulina as food.

After that, Japanese scientists became pioneers in the research of Spirulina. In Japan, Spirulina is used as food for commercial fish and domestic animals. Spirulina was used as a food supplement in some cases of diseases.

Researchers, scientists, and promoters of Spirulina

First time when I discovered Spirulina was twenty years ago. I became interested in Tianshi products. I lived in Europe at this time. As Tianshi Distributor, I read literature about herbal supplements and their influence on well-being. Doctors wrote their experience and expertise in books.

Tianshi company is worldwide. It had quarters in North America a few years ago.

I do not know the reason why they moved out. One thing that I understand from Cristopher Hills, Ph.D.  D.Sc. books about FDA regulations that food could not be sold as medicine or drug. Claims about the therapeutic effects of Spirulina could not be made in the USA.

There are books written by Japanese doctors who made medical discoveries about Spirulina. The Secrets of Spirulina is one of these books.

The book by Jack Joseph Challem is Spirulina: what it is…the health benefits it can give you, printed in the USA. Unfortunately, this mentioned book and other books were written 30 years ago.

Time passed, but Spirulina was around, found in the lakes of Africa and Mexico. Spirulina is grown in Japan and in Mexico, in California too.

What is Spirulina?

A couple of months ago, I discovered a book edited by M.E. Gershwin and Amha Belay. Scientists and doctors wrote this particular book. They performed enormous research about Spirulina and published these results in the book Spirulina in Human Nutrition and Health.

Finally, the resource, rich with experimental data, is shown in the evidence for scientists, food industry researchers, doctors,  and consumers. We can in the USA learn from this book what Spirulina is.
