Superfoods For Optimum Health: Chlorella and Spirulina

The only truly natural vitamins are those that come from foods. They are available in nutritional supplements as highly nutritious, concentrated foods; powdered concentrates of foods and herbs with the moisture removed; and an isolated component of a food. Sources of these include ...wheat-grass juice, freshwater algae (blue-green algae, chlorella, spirulina), sea vegetables such as kelp, enzymes, wheat-germ oil, and minerals from ancient sea, clay, or vegetation beds.

I've eluded to this throughout this report, and it deserves repeating: vitamins simply can't compare with these micro-algae when it comes to superior nutrition. For one thing, there's no such thing as an isolated vitamin in nature. No "Vitamin C" fruits grow on trees, for example: all fruits have a spectrum of vitamins and minerals. There are no "Calcium leaves" on vegetables. All vegetables have an assortment of minerals and phytochemicals that work synergistically to support human health.

In nature, we find whole spectrum food sources that provide an abundance of synergistic elements that work together in the human body in ways that no scientist can truly comprehend. Modern scientists haven't even identified all of the phytochemicals found in chlorella and spirulina, much less studied their combined effects in full detail.

This is why chlorella and spirulina are superior to isolated vitamins and minerals. In fact, when you consume chlorella and spirulina on a daily basis, you can throw out your vitamins and minerals. There's simply no need to take isolated, individual vitamin and mineral supplements. Many of them, especially the cheaper brands, are made from entirely "unnatural" sources in the first place and are of questionable nutritional value. If you really want to consume vitamins the way nature intended, you've got to eat them as they are found in nature, which means consuming chlorella and spirulina on a regular basis.

Certainly, many vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and other plants are also outstanding sources of nutrition, but even their nutritional density pales in comparison to chlorella and spirulina. In my dietary plan, I eat vegetables primarily for fiber and bulk, not for nutrition (although many vegetables are, indeed, powerful disease fighters). But when it comes to my nutritional needs, I count on superfoods exclusively.

You won't find any bottles of "calcium" or "Vitamin C" in my pantry: I've long since thrown them out. Instead, you'll find row upon row of bottles and powder labeled "chlorella" and "spirulina."
