An interesting study published in 1995 (Author: Sevulla) that
showed an 81% improvement in the academic scores of children who
took one gram of the algae spirulina daily for six months.
I'm not aware of other studies examining the link between
micro-algae and intellectual function, but this study alone is
interesting enough to warrant a closer look. An 81% improvement is
dramatic, to say the least. And the dosage of spirulina used -- a
mere one gram -- which is only 1/10th the recommended standard dosage
for spirulina. What results could be achieve with Bio-Algae Concentrates?
We have many testimonials from parents and teachers of children
that tell of the positive academic and behavioral changes after
they begin consuming Bio-Algae Concentrates. We will also cover
the benefits for children and adults affected with Autism and
ADD/HD later on.
Anecdotal results abound from people using Bio-Algae Concentrates
about how they feel more focus and clarity of brain functions. People
share how their short term memory is better, that they remember telephone
numbers, recall their dreams, etc. In orthomolecular medicine there are
proven connections between nutrients and brain function and moods, even
mental diseases. Several nutrient deficiencies are involved with depression
and mental disorders like Autism, ADD/HD.
The mechanism of such dramatic improvements in brain function are
very likely due to the presence of several nutrients and phytonutrients
that have close affinities with the brain. Many micro and macro minerals,
vitamins such as pro-vitamin A and the B complex are required daily for
the brain to function optimally. All of us have nutrients deficiencies
as some nutrients are not easily obtained from our diets or delivered
to the brain due to aging related poor assimilation.
Bio-Algae Concentrates contains all know required nutrients and phytonutrients.
As importantly their bioavailability is likely of the highest order as proven
in clinical human trials and its beneficial results of usage proven in large
clinical and industrial trials with animals and human. Of the many phytonutrients
contained in Bio-Algae Concentrates, lets focus on two: GLA and phycocyanin
(a blue pigment).
Phycocyanin is known to enhance the functioning of the brain and
nervous system. Furthermore, the presence of this pigment in plants
and foods is extremely rare:
Important to note in the area of prevention,
spirulina is richly supplied with the blue pigment phycocyanin, a
biliprotein which has been shown to inhibit cancer-colony formation.
Predominant blue pigmentation in food is rare. The chemical reality
of spirulina's blue color is demonstrated by its effect in the
brain. Here phycocyanin helps draw together amino acids for
neurotransmitter formation, which increases mental
capacity.

Certainly the Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) content is another important
factor. As I mentioned previously, the human brain is around 80%
fat. Nerve tissues in the brain need "healthy" fats in order to
function properly, and GLA is one of the healthiest fats you can
consume. That's why human breast milk contains high quantities of
GLA. In fact, breast milk is the #1 source of GLA on the planet, and
spirulina as in Bio-Algae Concentrates is #2.
Breast milk contains GLA because infant humans need to quickly
build brain mass in order to boost their chances of survival. A
bigger, better brain allows a child to more quickly comprehend
language, social interactions, environmental cues, interpret sensory
input, and so on. So mother's milk provides precisely the nutrients
needed by infants to help them survive.
Cow's milk, on the other hand, is designed to help baby cows
survive. That has a lot less to do with brain function and a lot
more to do with helping grow a baby cow to several hundred pounds
and enabling it to run more quickly. Cow's milk, not surprisingly,
has virtually no GLA. Baby cow brains simply aren't as important to
their survival as the brains of human infants.
That's also one reason why cow's milk is a terrible nutritional
choice for baby humans. Cow's milk is the perfect food for baby
cows, but a gross mismatch for the nutritional needs of baby humans.
Even worse, the fact that adult human beings consume the
mother's milk of another species is truly unique (bizarre?). No other mammal
on the planet consumes the milk of other species, and every animal
on the planet manages to "weans" itself off of mother's milk
except humans. When I see adult humans drinking cow's milk,
I always wonder why they're drinking baby food.
Getting back to the brain food topic, the phycocyanin content of
Bio-Algae Concentrates combined with its GLA content (the good fats that heal)
provides a compelling reason to consume these micro-algae.
The GLA feeds your brain and nervous system with the nutrients it
needs to be healthy, while the phycocyanin inhibits tumorigenesis
and increases brain functionality. It's a powerful combination, and
it's one reason why I recommend that people consume Bio-Algae Concentrates
every day of their life. They're simply the most powerful offering
or real and whole nutrients.
