I-Spirulina, i-algae eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ehlala emanzini ahlambulukileyo okanye emanzini olwandle, ithiywe ngegama layo elikhethekileyo le-spiral morphology. Ngokutsho kophando lwezenzululwazi, i-spirulina inomxholo weprotheyini ongaphezulu kwe-60%, kwaye ezi proteni zenziwe ngee-amino acids ezahlukeneyo ezifana ne-isoleucine, i-leucine, i-lysine, i-methionine, njl., iyenza ibe ngumthombo weprotheyini esekelwe kwisityalo esiphezulu. Kubantu abatya imifuno okanye abo bafuna ukutya okuneprotheyini ephezulu, i-spirulina ngokungathandabuzekiyo lolona khetho lufanelekileyo.

Ukongeza kwiprotheni, i-spirulina iphinde ibe sisityebi kwi-unsaturated fatty acids ezifana ne-gamma linolenic acid. La ma-acids anamafutha asebenza kakuhle ekunciphiseni i-cholesterol kunye nokulawula amanqanaba e-lipid yegazi, enceda ukuthintela ukwenzeka kwezifo zentliziyo. Kubomi banamhlanje obukhawulezayo, ukugcina impilo ye-cardiovascular kubaluleke kakhulu, kwaye i-spirulina "ngumkhuseli wentliziyo" kwitafile yethu yokutya.

I-Spirulina ikwanguvimba wobuncwane weevithamini, ezityebileyo kwiivithamini ezahlukeneyo ezifana ne-beta carotene, B1, B2, B6, B12, kunye ne-vitamin E. Ezi vithamini zidlala indima engenakuthathelwa indawo ekugcineni imisebenzi eqhelekileyo ye-physiological kumzimba womntu. Ngokomzekelo, i-beta carotene inceda ukukhusela umbono kunye nokwandisa ukhuseleko; Intsapho ye-vitamin B ibandakanyeka kwiinkqubo ezininzi ze-physiological ezifana ne-metabolism yamandla kunye nokusebenza kwenkqubo ye-nervous; I-Vitamin E, enegunya elinamandla lokulwa ne-antioxidant, inceda ukuxhathisa ukuhlaselwa kweeradicals zamahhala kunye nokulibazisa ukuguga.

I-Spirulina ityebile kwiiminerali ezahlukeneyo ezifana ne-calcium, i-potassium, i-phosphorus, i-selenium, i-iron, kunye ne-zinc, ebalulekileyo ekugcineni imisebenzi eqhelekileyo yomzimba, ukukhuthaza impilo yamathambo, kunye nokuphucula ukugonywa komzimba. Ngokomzekelo, i<em>iron yinxalenye ebalulekileyo ye<em>hemoglobin, yaye ukunqongophala kwe<em>iron kunokukhokelela kwi<em>anemia; I-Zinc ithatha inxaxheba kwi-synthesis kunye nokusebenza kwee-enzymes ezahlukeneyo emzimbeni, idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekugcineni incasa kunye nokukhuthaza ukukhula nophuhliso.

Ukongeza kwizakhi zondlo ezikhankanywe ngasentla, i-spirulina iqulethe i-polysaccharides eninzi, i-chlorophyll, kunye nezinye izinto, ezinceda kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukukhathala, ukuqinisa ukuzivikela, njalo njalo. Ngokwenene 'yiphakheji yesondlo ebalaseleyo'.

Isishwankathelo, i-spirulina ibe lukhetho olubalulekileyo lokutya okunempilo kwanamhlanje kunye nokuphila okuluhlaza ngenxa yesiqulatho sayo sesondlo esityebileyo, ixabiso elikhethekileyo le-ecological, kunye namandla ophuhliso oluzinzileyo. Nokuba njengesongezelelo sezondlo zemihla ngemihla okanye njengesixhobo sokwenza izinto ezintsha kwishishini lokutya elizayo, i-spirulina ibonise amandla amakhulu kunye namathemba abanzi.
