Are chlorella and spirulina the same?
No, they are different. Although both were labeled a superfood, spirulina and chlorella originate from other families or species with different nutritional profiles.
What is Spirulina?
Spirulina, a planktonic, blue-green alga that provides food and oxygen for various aquatic life. It has been a part of the human diet since being discovered by the Aztecs centuries ago. Because of the unique and expansive nutritional profile, the World Health Organization considers Spirulina among the most nutrient-dense superfoods on the planet!
What is Chlorella?
Chlorella is a single-celled freshwater alga that originates from the Chlorellaceae family. It is a complete and unrefined food supplement, considered near-perfect due to its high density of nutrients. It is a potential source of biologically active compounds, which is why it has many health benefits.
Key Health Benefits of Big Food Chlorella Spirulina Combo
Chlorella & Spirulina are two microalgae species often seen as a "Superfood" and "Food of the future." Both are excellent sources of proteins, lipids, and phytochemicals. They can be taken together and get these nutrients:
Complete protein
Both chlorella and spirulina consist of 50-60% complete protein. This means that it provides the nine essentialamino acids, including leucine, that we cannotproducein the body. In fact, green algae are one of few plant-based sources of complete protein available! It is for this reason that chlorella and spirulina are often used to supplement vegetarian and vegan diets.
Antioxidants
Chlorella and spirulina both contain a diverse range of potent plant nutrients called phytonutrients. These compounds provide natural antioxidant effects, detoxifying and quenching harmful substances that can accumulate in our bodies.
A recentstudyshowed that chlorella supplementation considerably increased the antioxidant levels in the blood of smokers. The most common class of these antioxidative nutrients is carotenoids, and chlorella contains several important carotenoids, including lutein, beta-carotene and zeaxanthin.
Meanwhile, Spirulina is also a rich source of antioxidants, especially phycocyanin.Studieshave also shown that regular supplementation of spirulina may potentially increase the production of defense cells and help prevent the activation of the more aggressive stage of the immune response in athletes.
Immune components
Although natural supplements do not rapidly 'boost' or 'ignite' the immune system, some can provide the raw materials, e.g., antioxidants, essential fats, vitamins and minerals that, if consumed regularly, can help to support optimalimmune function. These raw materials support the regular function of T-cells and NK fighter cells, the first line of defense of our immune system.
Chlorophyll
Chlorella is one of the richest natural sources of Chlorophyll available. This pigment is contained by all plants and is required to produce nutrients through the process of photosynthesis. While humans cannot use it for the same reasons, Chlorophyll may help detoxify harmful substances in the body, skin repair, blood sugar control, and oxygen delivery.
Vitamins
Both super-greens are rich sources of vitamin A, B1, B2, B9 (folate) and vitamin K, which our bodies require to make blood-clotting proteins. This ensures that wounds and bruises usually heal. On the other hand, Chlorella is one of only a few plant foods that contain a bioactive source ofvitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that we cannot produce in the body. It is usually attained from animal sources, such as meat and dairy. It is critical for nerve function, energy as well as red blood cell and DNA production.
Minerals
Minerals are essential nutrients that we require in minimal amounts, but our bodies would not function without them. In just one serving of our algae combo, you will reach your daily iron needs. This mineral is essential for oxygen delivery around the body and the reduction of fatigue andtiredness.
