I will tell you about the knowledge, selection and eating methods of spirulina for your reference and suggestions.
Spirulina is an algae and aquatic plant, and its protein content is the highest and most balanced species in edible food discovered by human beings so far ... I won't say much about the nature, nutritional components and physical and chemical indexes of Spirulina, and it is easy for everyone to search for other information about Spirulina on the Internet. I hope you can learn more. Here I mainly want to tell you a few home-cooked questions to avoid misunderstanding:
1) Spirulina is a food with homology of medicine and food. Except for some medicinal purposes (such as shortening the healing period of wounds, diminishing inflammation, etc.). ), it has certain auxiliary and synergistic therapeutic effects in other aspects, but it can't replace drugs!
Spirulina can be taken by people with physical fitness or illness, especially for some chronic diseases, which has a certain auxiliary treatment or synergistic conditioning effect (specific functions can be searched on big websites);
2) The efficacy of Spirulina is mainly due to its high protein quality, rich and balanced amino acids and polysaccharides that constitute protein, and its nutrients are easily absorbed and utilized by human body, so Spirulina can greatly improve human function and enhance immunity. At the same time, its rich vitamins, minerals and polysaccharides can help treat some diseases of human body in some aspects, but its function is mainly synergistic.
3) Spirulina products are mostly made of spirulina dry powder, so the quality of its products mainly depends on the quality of dry powder raw materials and whether there is functional addition or full addition during processing.
To remind everyone, spirulina itself is a nutritious package. In addition to the special need to extract a simple component from spirulina, any deep processing of spirulina will change or lose the original nutritional components of spirulina. All the so-called decomposed spirulina or extracts are not more nutritious than the original spirulina, so don't blindly believe in the so-called refined products.
For spirulina capsules or tablets, the quality of domestic famous brands is reliable. It is reported that the technology of preserved spirulina is actively promoting production, and if the product is listed, it is of course the first choice;
4) Please don't trust ultra-low-priced spirulina products. Low-priced products must be canned, inferior or about to expire, that is, other powders are added to the products, such as vegetable powder, seaweed powder, starch, green algae and so on. This kind of addition is difficult to distinguish and will not cause you any problems, but the nutrition and health care function is greatly reduced, or even no health care function. Without the proper health care function of spirulina,
5) Please be wary of spirulina products with over-rendering function, because if the function is obvious, it means that there is a certain amount of function added in their products. The so-called functional addition is to add drugs to spirulina products, which is very dangerous and has great security risks, because the side effects of the drugs they add may be fatal!
The health-care functions of spirulina are published on the regular website (balanced nutrition, liver protection, adjuvant treatment of iron anemia, radiation inhibition of tumors, enhancement of children's development, improvement of human immune function, nutritional supplement to lose weight or gain weight, etc.). ). Please carefully choose spirulina products with other special effects, and it is best not to buy them to prevent adding drugs!
6) There is almost no taboo to eat spirulina. All normal spirulina products are beneficial and harmless to any people except infants and people with various diseases. It has been nearly 50 years since human beings ate spirulina scientifically. So far, there are no cases of toxic and side effects caused by eating spirulina in the world. Because spirulina is a kind of protein health care product, there is no dependence, which is enough to show that spirulina is safe for human body as a plant protein food. So don't worry about whether eating spirulina will produce toxic side effects and dependence. As long as the choice is right, there is nothing to worry about.
7) How to eat spirulina: Most of the spirulina products we can buy now are capsules filled with spirulina dry powder or tablets pressed with powder. Due to different specifications, the dosage is also different. As long as you remember, everyone can eat more than 3 grams of dry powder every day to achieve the purpose of nutritional supplement or adjuvant therapy. If there is no shortage of money, the daily consumption can be increased to below10g, which is enough and also a waste.
I recommend buying capsules, because capsule products have few additives and are easy to absorb; It is necessary to add microcrystalline powder as excipient in tablet production, accounting for a certain proportion.
In order to make the human body fully absorb it, it should be taken one hour before breakfast and more than two hours after dinner, preferably before going to bed and washing at night. You can also take it once at noon, but you should take it one hour before or two hours after meals. In fact, it is enough to take it in the morning and evening.
Take the clothes with warm water. According to personal circumstances, it can be taken with honey, warm boiled water, warm brackish water, warm porridge and warm milk. , and choose according to your own situation. Please see my other answers about how to lose weight or gain weight. )
Spirulina can be eaten together with other nutrients or medicinal supplements. The main functional components of Spirulina are rich and balanced amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides and minerals in protein, but these substances and other supplements will not have harmful effects. What you need to consider is whether it is economical to take various supplements.
8) For Spirulina, the statement that "there is no medical care function without police tactical unit" is extremely naive! As long as it is capsules, tablets, spirulina powder and other (non-extract) products made of dry powder produced by spirulina with normal growth, it has certain health care function. Whether spirulina has health care function depends on spirulina itself, but it has no direct relationship with whether it has "Jian Zi" (police mobile unit) certification. Some people mistakenly think that only Jian Zi can have health care function, which is a naive and one-sided understanding of the certification of Jian Zi. The main reason for the certification of "police mobile force" in China is that many good spirulina products companies are unwilling to do it because its procedures are complicated and time-consuming and laborious, but this does not mean that the spirulina they produce is not good. We must correctly realize that China's "construction" certification is only a one-time certification of products, and there is no real real-time supervision. One-time authentication replaces real-time supervision. Such a threshold has no long-term significance for consumers.
9) "Only Spirulina produced in Yunnan is the best" is a misunderstanding! Spirulina with good quality can be cultured in any area as long as the breeding formula and management are good, but under the condition of natural open culture, climate problems will affect productivity.
Spirulina on the market now are all cultured spirulina, and there is no pure natural spirulina! If any manufacturer publicizes that its products are pure natural, it is irresponsible to consumers!
Chenghai Lake has a small amount of natural spirulina, but it is not collected at all. Spirulina enterprises around Chenghai Lake always extract water from Chenghai Lake or local surface water and add it to artificially equipped culture medium for large-scale culture. Because there are some differences in culture medium formula and culture management, the quality of spirulina cultivated is also different. Anyone who says that his products are of pure natural quality is an extremely lax propaganda slogan. Do not believe! For spirulina: pure natural is not necessarily good! ! !
10) As long as it is a normal spirulina product, eating any kind of spirulina within a certain period of time may cause dizziness, weakness, abdominal pain, fart, diarrhea, or other abnormalities in stool. This situation shows that you have some kind of disease, not a toxic side effect, but a preliminary improvement. It is called "memory reaction" in clinic and "moth halo reaction" in Chinese medicine, so it should be.
Understand spirulina rationally, don't believe any extreme words, and don't believe spirulina with super function and ultra-low price!
I wish the world health! ! !
