Rhamnose, Glycogen,Mannose,Xylose,
Galactose. All easily absorbed by human
cells with minimal intervention of Insulin.
(Shekharan et al 1987, Phytochem
26:2267-69.).

15. CARBOHYDRATES – cont.
 Does not have cellulose in its cell wall, therefore
ideal for persons with poor intestinal absorption
problems and geriatric patients. (Richmond
1992, Photosynthetic prokaryotes 181-210.)
 IMMULINA – a new high molecular weight
polysaccharide with immuno stimulatory activity
has been isolated from Spirulina.(Pugh et al,

 Phycocyanin,Phycoerythrin, Tetrapyrrole,
Phytonadione

19. Chlorophyll v/s Haemoglobin
structural similarity

20. Benefits of Chlorophyll
 It increases peristaltic action and thus relieves
constipation.
 It normalizes the secretion of digestive acids.
 It soothes the inflammation and reduces
excessive pepsin secretion associated with
gastric ulcers.
 It It promotes granulation (healing tissue).
 Promotes regeneration of damaged liver cells.

21. Other benefits of Chlorophyll
 It dilates blood vessels thus increasing
circulation to all organs.
 In the heart it promotes transmission of
nerve impulses that control contraction.
The heart is slowed, yet each contraction
is increased in power, thus improving the
overall efficiency of cardiac work.

22. Bioflavonoids
 Porphyrin is a red compound that forms the
active nucleus of Haemoglobin.
 Phycocyanin is related to bilirubin and is
important for healthy liver function and digestion
of amino acids. It aids haematopoiesis
(formation of blood) especially W.B.C.’s.
 Phycoerythrin, Tetrapyyrole, Carotenoids,
Phytonadione are important in all cellular
enzymatic processes, without which cells would
just disintegrate.

23. ANTI VIRAL
 An extract of sulfated polysaccharides,
called “Calcium–Spirulan” showed activity
against Influenza A, HIV, Herpes Simplex,
Cytomegalovirus, Mumps and Measles
Viruses.
 Helps in reducing viral loads in AIDS

24. Obesity – Weight loss
Please God !
If you can’t make me
thin
Make my friends
fat !

25. Obesity – Weight loss
At the end of four weeks Spirulina
significantly reduced body weight by 1.4 +/- 0.4
kgms. This study indicated no adverse effects
and no changes in clinical, haematological and
biochemical parameters.
(Becker E.W et al 1986. Inst. Chem. Pfanz. Pub. in
Nutrition Reports Int'l, Vol. 33, No. 4, pg 565.
Germany.)

26. CHOLESTEROL REDUCTION
 Spirulina consumption reduces Serum
cholesterol levels by 4.5% in 4 weeks.
This is partly due to GLA. (Henrikson
1994.)
 Cholesterol lowering effect of Spirulina
(Nayaka et al.1986, 1988)

27. ANTI CANCER ACTIVITY
 Evaluation of chemo prevention of oral cancer with
spirulina.
by Babu, M. et al. 1995. Pub. in Nutrition and Cancer,
Vol. 24, No. 2, 197-202. India.
Evaluated the chemo preventive activity of spirulina
(1 gm./day for 12 months) in reversing oral leukoplakia in
pan tobacco chewers in Kerala, India. Complete
regression of lesions was observed in 20 of 44 (45%)
evaluated subjects supplemented with spirulina, as
opposed to 3 of 43 (7%) in the placebo arm.

28. ANTI CANCER
 Certain special enzymes called “Endonucleases”
repair damaged DNA to keep cells alive and
healthy.
 When these enzymes are deactivated by toxins
or radiation, errors in DNA go un-repaired
and may eventually result in cancer.
 Spirulina prevents deactivation of
Endonucleases, thereby preventing and even
correcting early cancers.

29. ANTI CANCER
 Spirulina extract induces TNF suggesting a
tumour destruction mechanism.(Shklar &
Schwartz,1988. J.Oral & Maxillofacial Surg.,
45:510-515)
 Enhancement of endonuclease activity and
repair DNA synthesis by polysaccharide of
spirulina.
by Qishen, P. et al. 1988. Pub. in Chinese
Genetics Journal 15 (5) 374-381. China.

30. ANTI CANCER
 Inhibitive effect and mechanism of
polysaccharide of spirulina on transplanted
tumor cells in mice.
( Lisheng, et al. 1991. Pub. in Marine Sciences,
Qingdao, N.5. pp 33-38. China.)
 Prevention of experimental oral cancer by
extracts of spirulina-dunaliella algae.
(J. Schwartz, G. Shklar, et al. 1988. Harvard
School of Dental Medicine. Pub. in Nutrition and
Cancer 11, 127-134. 1988. USA.)

31. Immunomodulation
 Consistently improves immune function.
 Bone marrow Stem cells, Macrophages, T-
cells, beta cells, Natural killer cells show
enhanced activity.
 Spleen and Thymus gland show enhanced
function.
 Both Humoral and Cellular immunity increases.
 Calcium spirulan – an important
immunomodulator.

32. Haematopoiesis
 Clinical experiences of administration of
Spirulina to patients with Hypo chromic
anaemia. (Takeuchi et al 1978, Tokyo Dental &
Medical Univ.Japan.)
 Effects of Polysaccharide and Phycocyanin from
Spirulina on peripheral blood and
haematopoietic system of bone marrow in mice.
(Zhang 1994, Nanjing Univ.,China)

33. KIDNEY DETOXIFICATION
 Scientific studies suggests Spirulina may have
a beneficial effect for humans suffering from
heavy metal poisoning and that kidney side
effects may decrease when spirulina is taken
with the administration of drugs.
 It prevents damage to the kidney and reduces
the side effects of Mercury, Cisplatin,etc.

34. Radiation protection
 Immunoglobulin E (IgE) of children living in
highly radioactive areas is greatly above normal.
Studies with 270 children show that consuming
about 5 grams per day of spirulina tablets
normalized IgE within 6 weeks. Children not
consuming spirulina did not change IgE levels.
No side effects were observed. Spirulina lowers
the amount of IgE in the blood, which in turn
normalizes and reduces allergies in the body.

35. Effects on the Human body
 Anti viral
 Anti cancer
 Cholesterol reduction
 Nutrition
 Diabetes

36. Effects on the Human body
 Immunomodulation
 Haematopoiesis
